Question
Rooster feathering in chickens is inherited with the autosomal recessive allele r. Hen feathering is inherited with the autosomal dominant allele R. The trait is sex-limited, only males will show rooster feathering. A male chicken with the genotype Rr will show ______.Multiple choice question.rooster featheringhen featheringneither hen nor rooster feathering
Solution
The male chicken with the genotype Rr will show hen feathering. This is because the R allele for hen feathering is dominant over the r allele for rooster feathering. Even though the chicken is male and has one r allele, the presence of the dominant R allele will result in hen feathering.
