Question

In some chickens, the gene that produces color shows incomplete dominance. The gene will produce either a black (B) chicken, a white (W) chicken, or a gray (BW) chicken. Identify the genotype and phenotype ratios of a cross between a black and a gray chicken?

Answer 1

Answer:

This kind of gene inheritance is known as codominance. The black chickens are all black because that's the only gene they have for feather coloring. Same with the white chickens. However, their offspring have one black gene and one white gene.
