phenotype - 50% checkered chicken and 50% white-feathered chicken.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer would be -

genotype - 50% WB and 50% WW

phenotype - 50% checkered chicken and 50% white-feathered chicken.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the chickens, the checkered trait occurs due to the codominance type of inheritance as when two different alleles of color Black feather and White feather allele present together they both show their presence and express as checkered chicken.

White feather chicken: WW

Black feather chicken: BB

Checkered chicken: WB

Cross = WW and WB

gametes: W, W and W, B

Punnett square:

W W

W WW WW

B WB WB

Thus, The correct answer would be -

genotype - 50% WB and 50% WW

phenotype - 50% checkered chicken and 50% white-feathered chicken.
