WHAT IF? A rooster with gray feathers and a hen ofthe same phenotype produce 15 gray, 6 black, and8 white chicks. What is the simplest explanation for theinheritance of these colors in chickens? What phenotypeswould you expect in the offspring of a cross betweena gray rooster and a black hen?

Crossing Pea Plants: Mendels Study of Single Traits An unspecified characteristic controlled by a single gene is examined in pea plants. Only two phenotypic states exist for this trait. One phenotypic state is completely dominant to the other. A heterozygous plant is self-crossed. What proportion of the progeny of plants exhibiting the dominant phenotype is homozygous?

ACTIVITY 3: Incomplete dominance vs. codominance Coat color in dragons is controlled by 2 alleles. A black dragon is crossed with a white dragon and all of the offspring are gray. Are the alleles incompletely dominant or codominant? ___ Explain (how do you know)? What would offspring of the other type probably look like? __
2. In four-o’clocks, the allele for red flowers is incompletely dominant to the allele for white flowers, soheterozygotes have pink flowers. What ratios offlower colors would you expect among the offspringof the following crosses: (a) pink × pink, (b) white ×pink, (c) red × red, (d) red × pink, (e) white × white,and (f) red × white? If you specifically wanted to produce pink flowers, which of these crosses would bemost efficient?
Neep help ASAP. A red flowered plant was crossed with a blue flowered plant and produced all purple flowered plants. When the purple flowered plants were crossed with each other they produced 5 red plants, 5 blue plants, 20 deep purple plants, 20 light lilac plants, and 30 purple plants How many genes are involved in the color production? Assume that red color is caused by an A allele and blue color by a B allele and determine the likely genotype of the plants in the F2 generation.
