gold feathers because of a recessive allele, g, of a gene called gold, on chromosome 2. The dominant allele of gold, G, results in silver feathers. There is another feather gene called silkie on chromosome 4. The recessive allele of silkie, s, results in feathers that are soft like chick down. The dominant allele, S, results in rough feathers. 1a. Draw a diploid cell of a chicken that is heterozygous for the gold gene and is homozygous recessive for the silkie gene. Be sure to draw the chromosomes AND indicate the gene locations and alleles. Then, draw the gametes that would result if this
Certain breeds of chickens have reddish gold feathers because of a recessive allele, g, of a gene called gold, on chromosome 2. The dominant allele of gold, G, results in silver feathers. There is another feather gene called silkie on chromosome 4. The recessive allele of silkie, s, results in feathers that are soft like chick down. The dominant allele, S, results in rough feathers.
1a. Draw a diploid cell of a chicken that is heterozygous for the gold gene and is homozygous recessive for the silkie gene. Be sure to draw the chromosomes AND indicate the gene locations and alleles. Then, draw the gametes that would result if this cell went through meiosis
1b. Now, imagine that the chicken described in a mated with a chicken that has reddish gold feathers and is heterozygous for the silkie gene. Using a Punnett square, show the genotypes of their progeny (F1 generation). For each genotype, describe the
