In chickens, the black (B) and white (W) alleles for feather color are codominant. If a homozygous white chicken is crossed with a homozygous black chicken, the offspring has feathers that are both black and white, a trait that is known as erminette, as shown in the diagram. + The Punnett square shows the possible genotypes resulting from the cross of an erminette chicken with a white chicken. White Chicken W W B BW BW W ww Select the correct answers from the dropdown menus to complete the sentence to indicate the. expected percentage of offspring with each phenotype resulting from the cross shown in the Punnett square.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
