In chickens, feathered shanks, A, are dominant to clean, a, and white plumage, B, is dominant to black, b. A feathered-shanked, white, rose-combed bird was crossed with a clean-shanked, white, walnut combed bird and the following offspring were produced:

2 feathered-shanked, white, rose-combed chicks
3 feathered-shanked, black, pea-combed chicks
1 feathered-shanked, white, single-combed chick
4 clean-shanked, white, walnut-combed chicks
1 clean-shanked, black, single-combed chick
2 clean-shanked, white, rose-combed chicks
