Gnesinka [82]3 years ago

<span> Basically the male will have CC, the hen will have cc, and neither of them will have I. The key thing is that _all_ the chicks are coloured.

The male must have at least 1 C to be coloured, and cannot possess the dominant I. The hen has cc and/or an I to not be coloured.

That one chick is coloured would tell you little - only that the hen couldn't have 2 inhibitor alleles because otherwise the chick would have to have one and it doesn't.

However, for all of many chicks to be coloured, that means that the hen can't have any inhibitor alleles (otherwise around 50% would be white for that reason alone).

So to be colourless, the hen must be cc. However, if the male had only 1 colour allele (ie it was Cc) that would still mean that 50% of the chicks would be Cc (daddy's 'c' and one of mummy's 'c's). 

Hope this helps please award brainly :)

Which keystone species feed on other animals and prevent them from damaging the ecosystem?
Naddika [18.5K]

D.  Predators

Predators keep populations of other species in check.  This was pretty clearly demonstrated in Yellowstone National Park after the wolves were eradicated there.  The deer populations increased to the point that the aspen trees nearly disappeared due to the saplings' being eaten by deer.  Since the reintroduction of wolves to the park, the aspen trees have begun to flourish once again.
