A chicken that is purebred for black feathers is crossed with one that is purebred for white feathers All the offspring produced have gray feathers Is this case of incomplete dominance Explain?

Answer 1

There are several things that can cause black spots on combs: frostbite, mites, chickens pecking at each other or two different forms of Avian Pox. Google Avian Pox or Fowl Pox to see if that's the trouble--if it is, you just have to wait and see and vaccinate all new chicks/birds.

Answer 2

No, this is not a case of incomplete dominance. In incomplete dominance, a blending of traits would result in an intermediate phenotype. The gray feather color in this case is likely due to a codominant inheritance pattern, where both the black and white alleles are expressed, resulting in a new phenotype.

Answer 3

the little chicken will probably have lets just say... black feathers and a white body

it is how the x and y work. if the girl chicken has the black feathers it will pass on which is a x trait :) or sumthing

Answer 4

Both alleles for feather color are dominant.
