If two chickens are crossed and they produce 100 offspring, is it probable for all of the F1 progeny to show the Creeper phenotype?

Final answer:

It is improbable for all F1 progeny to show the Creeper phenotype.

Step-by-step explanation:

In genetics, the Creeper phenotype is a specific trait that may not be expressed in all F1 progeny when two chickens are crossed. The expression of phenotypes in the offspring is influenced by the inheritance pattern of the specific trait and the presence of other genes that may suppress or mask the Creeper phenotype. Therefore, it is improbable for all of the F1 progeny to show the Creeper phenotype.
