A rooster with gray feathers is mated with a hen of the same phenotype. Among their offspring, 15 chicks are gray, 6 are black,

and 8 are white. What is the simplest explanation for the inheritance of these colors in chickens? What offspring would you predict from the mating of a gray rooster and a black hen?

Answer:

Alleles for feather colour exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance.

50% gray offspring + 50% black offspring

Explanation:

<em>It means that the alleles for feather colour in the hen exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance over one another.</em>

Assuming the allele for white colour is B, white colour will be b while the heterozygote Bb gives the gray phenotype.

Gray rooster + gray hen = 15 gray chicks, 6 black chicks and 8 white chicks.

15:6:8 is roughly 2:1:1 which is phenotypic ratio obtainable from crossing two heterozygous individuals as pointed out by Mendel.

Bb   x   Bb = 1BB, 2Bb, and 1bb

Crossing the gray rooster (Bb) with a black hen (bb):

Bb   x   bb = Bb, Bb, bb, and bb

          = 2Bb (gray):2bb (black)

50% of the offspring will be gray while the remaining 50% will be black.

Which hip bone forms the superioir part of the pelvic girlde that extends upward from the acetabulum
Mars2501 [29]

The ischium bone forms the superior part of the pelvic girdle.

<h3>What is the structure of the pelvic girdle?</h3>

In the bottom region of the trunk, there is a bony structure known as the pelvic girdle that resembles a ring. It joins the lower limbs to the axial skeleton. There are two types of pelvises: the bigger pelvic and the lesser pelvis.

The pelvis is made up of two paired hipbones that are joined at the pubic symphysis in front and by the sacrum in back. Each hipbone is composed of three bones: the blade-shaped ilium above and to either side, which determines the hips' width; the ischium below, on which the weight is placed when sitting; and the pubis in front. Early in maturity, all three come together at a triangle suture in the acetabulum, the cup-shaped socket that connects to the head of the femur to create the hip joint.
