Question


The comb shape of chickens is an example of an interesting inheritance pattern. 

Two genes, each with a dominant and recessive allele, determine comb phenotypes as follows:

Comb Shape Description Genotype
Single Comb homozygous recessive for both r and p rrpp
Walnut comb both dominant alleles are present; R and P alleles are present R_P_
Pea comb the dominant allele P is present and the dominant allele R is absent rrP_
Rose comb the dominant allele R is present and the dominant allele P is absent R_pp
Which of the following represents the correct phenotypes of the F2 offspring?
Select one:
a.
Phenotype
Single Walnut Pea Rose
9/16 3/16 3/16 1/16
b.
Phenotype
Single Walnut Pea Rose
3/16 1/16 9/16 3/16
c.
Phenotype
Single Walnut Pea Rose
1/16 9/16 3/16 3/16
d.
Phenotype
Single Walnut Pea Rose
3/16 9/16 1/16 3/16
