Question

White skin (W) is dominant over yellow skin (w) in chickens. Which of the following genotypes would result in a white-skinned chicken that could possibly have yellow-skinned offspring?
A. WW
B. Ww
C. ww
Is the answer B?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

I don't want to be mean but are you sure because I don't want to get a bad grade.

Answer 3

I don't know much about biology, but B seems to be the only rational choice.

Answer 4

Thank You.

Answer 5

You're welcome.

Answer 6

B is correct.

Answer 7

thanks

Answer 8

Anyone who knows anything about biology knows that if the chicken can have yellow offspring, but the chicken has white skin, then the gene for white must be dominant over the yellow, but if there is a possibility, then the parent chicken has to have the yellow gene, but the white must be dominant. Therefore: WW=only white-skinned chicks from a white-skinned parent, Ww= White skin parent with possibility of yellow-skinned chicks, and ww= Yellow skin only in parents and chicks.

Answer 9

Edit: My previous equation missed an important factor that should have been mentioned at the start of it: If W= White skin, and w= Yellow skin.
