Answer:

Let's consider that the allele 'B' is for Black hair colour and it is dominant. Let's consider that the allele for red hair colour is b.

Let's consider the allele for lacking horns or polles is 'P' and it is dominant. The allele for having horns is 'p' and it is recessive.

When two heterozygous black, lacking horns (BbPp) are crossed, the results will have the probability of 9 black/polled : 3 black/horned : 3 red/polled : 1 red/horned organisms.
