Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Genotype is the genetic composition of organisms and a gene is made up of two alleles.</em>

a) Since the allele for black is B, <u>the genotype for black chickens would be BB. </u>

b) Since the allele for white is W, <u>the genotype for white chickens would be WW.</u>

c) Since erminette color is heterozygous,<u> the genotype would be BW.</u>

d) Two erminette were crossed:

         BW    x    BW

      BB BW BW WW

i. <em>Probability of having black chick (BB) </em>= 1/4

ii. <em>Probability of having a white chick (WW)</em> = 1/4

iii. <em>Probability of having erminette chicken (BW)</em> = 1/2
