Genetics and Probability: Exploring the Traits of Erminette Chickens
What are the possible offspring colors when an erminette chicken is crossed with a black chicken?
A. White, Black, Erminette
B. Black, Erminette, Brown
C. Erminette, Brown, White
D. Black, White, Brown
Answer:
A. White, Black, Erminette
When an erminette chicken is crossed with a black chicken, the possible offspring colors are white, black, and erminette. These colors are determined by the alleles inherited from each parent and the genetic principles at play in determining the traits of the offspring.
