Question

a chicken with black feathers (bb) is crossed with a chicken with white feathers (ww). the offspring have black and white feathers. 1. what is the genotype of the offspring? 2. 3. 4. done

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the gametes

The black chicken (BB) can only produce \( B \) gametes. The white chicken (WW) can only produce \( W \) gametes.

Step2: Fill in the Punnett square

When we cross \( BB\times WW \), in each box of the Punnett square, we combine one gamete from each parent. For box 1: \( B\times W = BW \), box 2: \( B\times W = BW \), box 3: \( B\times W = BW \), box 4: \( B\times W = BW \).

Answer:

All offspring have the genotype \( BW \)
