In the case of incomplete dominance, when a black chicken (BB) is crossed with a white chicken (WW), the offspring will have a phenotype that is a blend of the two parental traits. For this specific cross:
- BB (black) and WW (white) will produce BW (intermediate phenotype).
Given that you have indicated that the result is incomplete dominance, the expected phenotype of the offspring would be a mix between black and white, which in this context can be described as gray.
So, the expected phenotype of the offspring would be **all gray**.
