When the organism inherits a mutated gene creating new colored organisms into the population, this can increase diversity. As more organisms inherit the same mutation, the population will become more variated, which can increase the organisms abilities to survive and adapt in a changing environment, and also improve the biological fitness of individuals; resulting in allowing more organisms to reproduce successfully.

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

Inessa05 [86]

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.
