A male bird is homozygous recessive for both wacky wings (w) and flashy feathers (f). He is crossed with a female who is homozyg

ous dominant (normal wings and normal feathers) for both traits.
What are the genotypes of these birds? (male; female)

CORRECT (SELECTED)
wwff; WWFF.

The homozygous recessive genotypes for wacky wings and flashy feathers are ww and ff, respectively. The homozygous dominant genotypes for normal wings and normal feathers are WW and FF, respectively.

For "A male bird is homozygous recessive for both wacky wings (w) and flashy..." the genotypes of these birds is given as

Male: wwff and Female: WWFF

This is further explained below.

<h3>What are the genotypes of these birds?</h3>

Generally, The term "heterozygous" refers to a genotype in which both the dominant and recessive alleles are present. Using this example, we denote this genotype as Bb. In the end, the genotype of an organism that has two recessive alleles is known as homozygous recessive. This genotype is denoted by the letters bb in the context of eye color.

In conclusion, Wacky wings (w) and flamboyant (f) are recessive traits in male birds, and both are inherited in a homozygous manner. These birds' genotypes are listed as wwff for males and WWFF for females.
