Question

You have been studying two Hippogriff traits as a senior graduation project at Hogwarts (because you are magical), beak size (big beaks, B, are dominant to small beaks, b) and feather color (brown feathers, F, are dominant to white feathers, f). You mate two brown, big-beaked Hippogriffs and obtain the following results: 15 of the baby Griffs are brown and big-beaked; 4 of the baby Griffs are white are big-beaked; and 1 of the baby Griffs is white and small-beaked. What are the genotypes of the parent Hippogriffs

Answer 1

BbFf is the genotype of parent Hippogriffs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Big beaks, B, are dominant to small beaks, b.

Brown feathers, F, are dominant to white feathers, f.

Two brown, big-beaked Hippogriffs are mated to produce 15 brown and big-beaked; 4 white and big-beaked; and 1 white and small-beaked offspring
