Answer:
1/2
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for feather color in chickens. The black allele (B) is incompletely dominant over the white allele (W). This means that the allele B will not mask the phenotypic expression of allele W, hence, a third intermediate blue phenotype (BW) will be produced.
According to the question, if two blue chickens are crossed i.e. BW × BW, the gametes B and W will be produced by each parent. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following offsprings will be produced:
BB, BW and WW in the ratio 1:2:1
BB is black, BW is blue, WW is white. Hence, the probability of producing a blue chicken from this cross is 1/2.
Answer: They are sterile
Explanation:
Mule is a hybrid of male donkey and female horse with different chromosome number and is considered superior to both horse and donkey. Still it is considered as a weak hybrid this is because the mule is sterile which means that it cannot reproduce further.
The mule though is superior in many ways such as it can jump and is strong. The hybrid of mule is not good as it cannot continue its next generations on earth.
They are sterile and so is a weak hybrid.
