Question

Pigeons display a high color variety, here we try to understand the genetic basis of mixed red & black stippling of the feathers (kitey) and their genetic relation to black and red feather color. We conducted the following crosses:

Cross	Offspring
kitey x kitey	16 kitey 5 black 3 red
kitey x black	6 kitey 7 black
red x kitey	18 red 9 kitey 6 black

Have a look at the cross results and develop a hypothesis to explain the inheritance of kitey, black and red feather color in pigeons

(Hint: assume that 2 loci are involved and some type of epistasis occurs)

QUESTION: 1. provide hypothesis

2. provide the hypothetical genotypes for each crossing
