Hello Kevin,
Here is my answer to your wonderful question down below.
Answer:
Speckled chickens are an example of genetic diversity and codominance.
Step-by-step explanation:
Meiosis allows genetic diversity since the mother and father have different-colored feathers. If the two mate, then the outcome of the chicken will either be fully black, fully white, or speckled. The chance of having a speckled chicken from parents that are different colors is high.
If you are talking about genetics, codominance refers to a kind of inheritance in which two variants (alleles) of the same gene are expressed separately to produce distinct features in an organism.
I hope you find this explanation and answer useful.
Warm Regards, and Happy Holidays!
