Question

Chickens can have different types of feathers. Frizzled feathers curl toward a chicken’s head. Assume that feather type is determined by a single gene and that the allele for frizzled feathers is dominant over the allele for straight feathers. In a cross between two chickens with straight feathers, what percentage of the offspring can be expected to have frizzled feathers?

Answer 1

0 percent chance, because even though its a recessive trait, there is still no dominant trait present, so with a single allele being recessive, the offspring must also have straight feathers.
