Feather color is a highly prized trait in chickens. One of the genes that controls feather color has two alleles, black (Bl) and

blue (bl+). A chicken that has two black alleles (Bl/Bl) is black, and a chicken that has two blue alleles is blue (bl+/bl+). However, a chicken that inherits one of each trait (Bl/bl+) is an intermediate of the two. If two intermediate-colored chickens together produced 100 chicks, how many would you expect to be black?

Answer: Twenty five (25) of the chicks will be black.

Explanation: A cross between two heterozygous chicks (Bl/bl+) will produce four chicks; one will be Bl/Bl, two will be Bl/bl+ while one will be bl+/bl+.

A break down of the phenotypes is as follows:

Genotype ==> Phenotype

Bl/Bl ==> Black

Bl/bl+ ==> intermediate

bl+/bl+ ==> blue.

Since one out of four offsprings (1/4) is black, therefore if the two chicken produce 100 chicks, the number of chicks that will be black is 1/4 x 100 = 25.

Describe two potential biological risks of large scale cultivation and use of such genetically modified plants
expeople1 [14]
Risk of large scale production:
1. With an increase in production, there can become managerial problems. Workers can become lax, making of decisions become difficult and communication between workers become hard.
2. A large scale operation, needs technical tools like machines. Finance to buy machines can become a problem and hamper growth.

Risk of Genetically modified plants
1. They can become contaminants. The cross pollinated plants and seeds can travel, and contaminate the gene pool. Thereby, threatening future generations of plants.
2. They can produce side effects. Engineered plants, can lead to development of new toxins, carcinogens and deficiencies of nutrition.
