In some bizarre-feathered chickens, F is the trait for frizzled feathers while S is the trait for straight feathers. Since both traits are appears to be dominant, what proportion of the offspring would likely show straight feathers? Assume that both parents are homozygous for the traits. Construct the punnet square and indentify the following: Parents’ genes? Parents’ traits? Genes (genotype)? Feather type? (phenotype)? Genotypic ratio? Phenotypic ratio?
