Answer:

A cross between a roan bull (Ww) and a white cow (ww) produces roan and white phenotypes in a 1:1 ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two alleles are influencing the color of the hair of the cow-W red and w white.

These alleles show that a hybrid Ww has red hair. The genotype of the bull is Ww, WW is red and ww is white. So, mixing the red and white cows is 1:1.
