In a strain of chickens, there are birds with white, black, or blue feathers. In crosses between ten white hens and ten blue roosters, there are 100 offspring: 24 hens with blue feathers, 26 roosters with blue feathers, 23 hens with white feathers, 27 roosters with white feathers. When crossing blue hens and white roosters, there are 100 offspring: 25 hens with blue feathers, 25 roosters with blue feathers, 26 hens with white feathers, 24 roosters with white feathers. A. Using allele symbols, create a plausible explanation for these traits. Why is this trait not sex-linked? When crossing ten black roosters and ten white hens, you observe 100
2. In a strain of chickens, there are birds with white, black, or blue feathers.
In crosses between ten white hens and ten blue roosters, there are 100 offspring:
24 hens with blue feathers, 26 roosters with blue feathers, 23 hens with white feathers, 27 roosters with white feathers. When crossing blue hens and white roosters, there are 100 offspring: 25 hens with blue feathers, 25 roosters with blue feathers, 26 hens with white feathers, 24 roosters with white feathers.
A. Using allele symbols, create a plausible explanation for these traits. Why is this trait not sex-linked?
When crossing ten black roosters and ten white hens, you observe 100 offspring:
51 hens with blue feathers, 49 roosters with blue feathers. When crossing white roosters and black hens, you observe 100 offspring: 50 hens with blue feathers, 50 roosters with blue feathers
B. Use allele symbols to create a plausible explanation for these traits.
C. Using evidence of all crosses, what would you predict if you crossed a blue hen and a blue rooster? What phenomenon is being observed here?
