A population of white leghorn chicken has the following dominant mutations: crested head, the condition of having elongated feathers on the crown of the head, is dominant to normal-feathered head • naked neck, the condition having no neck feathers, is dominant to normal-feathered neck Both are unlinked autosomal genes. A rooster is heterozygous for both of these traits. It mates with a hen that is also heterozygous for both traits. What is the percentage of their offspring that are predicted to have a normal-feathered head and naked neck? (Round your answer to one decimal place).

Question
A population of white leghorn chicken has the following
dominant mutations:
crested head, the condition of having elongated
feathers on the crown of the head, is dominant to
normal-feathered head
• naked neck, the condition having no neck feathers, is
dominant to normal-feathered neck
Both are unlinked autosomal genes. A rooster is
heterozygous for both of these traits. It mates with a hen
that is also heterozygous for both traits. What is the
percentage of their offspring that are predicted to have a
normal-feathered head and naked neck? (Round your
answer to one decimal place).
