The frizzle fowl is much admired by poultry fanciers. Itgets its name from the unusual way that its featherscurl up, giving the impression that it has been (in thememorable words of animal geneticist F. B. Hutt)“pulled backwards through a knothole.” Unfortunately,frizzle fowl do not breed true: when two frizzles are intercrossed, they always produce 50 percent frizzles,25 percent normal, and 25 percent with peculiar woollyfeathers that soon fall out, leaving the birds naked.a. Give a genetic explanation for these results, showinggenotypes of all phenotypes, and provide a statement ofhow your explanation works.b. If you wanted to mass-produce frizzle fowl for sale,which types would be best to use as a breeding pair?
