Patterns of Inheritance and Monohybrid Crosses

Chickens have different types of feathers. Frizzled feathers curl towards a chicken's head. Assume that feather type is determined by a single gene and that the allele for frizzled feathers is dominant over the allele for straight feathers. In a cross between two chickens with straight feathers, what percentage of the offspring can be expected to have frizzled feathers?

• 0%

• 25%

• 50%

• 100%

In labrador retrievers the allele for a black coat color (B) is dominant over the allele for a brown coat color (b). If a brown labrador retriever is crossed with a heterozygous black labrador retriever, which of the following genotypic ratios can be expected?

• 0 BB: 2 Bb: 2 bb

• 1 BB: 2 Bb: 1 bb

• 2 BB: 0 Bb: 2 bb

• 2 BB: 1 Bb: 0 bb
