Question

In pigeons, the allele B produces blue feathers. The allele W produces white feathers. The B and W alleles are codominant. A blue and white pigeon BW is crossed with a solid white pigeon WW. What percent of the offspring are expected to be blue and white?

Answer 1

The correct answer is - 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Codominance is a type of inheritance that takes place when the genotype of an individual organism in heterozygous condition express traits of both alleles.

Cross between blue and white pigeon and pure white:

BW × WW and gametes will be B and W and W and W

B W

W BW WW

W BW WW

There are 50% of BW that is blue and white pigeons
