A male bird is homozygous recessive for both wacky wings (w) and flashy feathers (f). He is crossed with a female who is homozygous dominant (normal wings and normal feathers) for both traits.What are the genotypes of these birds? (male; female)
Question
A male bird is homozygous recessive for both wacky wings (w) and flashy feathers (f). He is crossed with a female who is homozygous dominant (normal wings and normal feathers) for both traits.What are the genotypes of these birds? (male; female)
Solution
The male bird, being homozygous recessive for both traits, has the genotype "wwff". This means he has two recessive alleles for wacky wings (w) and two recessive alleles for flashy feathers (f).
The female bird, being homozygous dominant for both traits, has the genotype "WWFF". This means she has two dominant alleles for normal wings (W) and two dominant alleles for normal feathers (F).

In some chickens, black feathers and white feathers are co-dominant traits. Chickens that have both a black feather allele and a white feather allele have black and white feathers in a sort of checkerboard pattern across their bodies.If two checkered chickens reproduce, what are the expected phenotype ratios in the offspring?Responses3 black : 1 white3 black : 1 whiteall checkered chicksall checkered chicks1 black : 3 white1 black : 3 white1 black : 2 checkered : 1 white
In a population of birds, the frequency of the recessive allele for feather coloration (a) is 0.25. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, calculate the following: The frequency of individuals heterozygous for the genotype (Aa).a.0.375b.0.5625c.0.0625d.0.9375
