Answer:

Codominance

Step-by-step explanation:

Codominance is a genetic situation in which the two alleles representing a particular gene exert equal effects on each other when in heterozygous condition. Both alleles are phenotypically expressed in the heterozygous organism.

In this case, the black and brown coat color were expressed in the resulting offspring of the cross, a clear indication of codominance.
