Question

One type of chicken has three different types of feather: white, speckled (spotted black and white) and black. A speckled chicken is mated with a black chicken. If 8 chicks are born, how many would be speckled?

A)8

B)4

C)6

D)2

Answer 1

I'm going to use the letter W for this

Going by the question, white is the dominant trait.

WW = white

Ww = speckled

ww = black

4 chickens would be speckled because 50% of the punnet square is Ww
