Barring gene

Yes.

So I can use the Punnet square to figure it out, just remember that the females only have one space and that barring is dominate.

B B

b Bb Bb

- B- B-

So all males from this match will be heterozygous for barring and the females will be barred as well.
Is it called Homozygous if females only have one gene for color?

With the second generation

B b
B BB Bb

- B- b-

So the roos could either be Heterozygous or Homozygous...and the females will be 50% barred and 50% unbarred.

Correct?

You got it.

The females are called hemizygous for sex linked traits.
