Question

In owl, barring (B) is sex linked and dominant recessive allele (b) producing solid black color when homozygous. Silky feathers (s) is a recessive autosomal gene as opposed to non-silky (S). If black cocks, heterozygous for non-silky, are crossed to barred, silky hens, what genotype and phenotype will be produced?

(Sex-linked genes can be written as XAXA for female and XAY for male since superscript function is not available)

  1. If the genotype of the cock? SsXbY
  2. The possible genotypes of the hen are ssXBXB, ssXBXb
  3. Write the genotype of the F1 when the hen is homozygous dominant for barring are SsXBXb, SsXBY, ssXBXb, ssXBY

 

What is the phenotypic ratio?________ (no spaces, numbers only)
What is the genotypic ratio when the hen is heterozygous for barring?__________(no spaces, numbers only)
How many female carriers are present when the hen is heterozygous for barring?_________(use fraction only)

it is for educational purpose only.
