Question

Crow's feet can have orange markings or have brown markings. When a crow with orange (O) markings is mated with a crow with brown (B) markings, the resulting phenotype is both orange and brown spots on the feet. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring?

Answer 2

that's all they give you? they don't give you the parents genetic info?

Answer 3

Um.. It says to cross an orange footed crow with a crow that has orange and brown spots on its feet.

Answer 5

hmm, does it say which trait is dominant and which is recessive?

Answer 7

If you read the first post, youll see which is dominant

Answer 10

I am guessing the O and B are the dominant traits

Answer 11

Ok let me see if I have this correct

" When a crow with orange (O) markings" so the crow has genotype OO

"is mated with a crow with brown (B) markings" the genotype is BB

"the resulting phenotype is both orange and brown spots on the feet" so the offspring has OB or BO

Answer 12

I think that's what they mean?

Answer 13

I think so

Answer 14

SO would their genotype be OB or BO? and then their phenotype would be whatever corresponds?

Answer 15

I think so, but I could be wrong though. Again, bio isn't my specialty

Answer 16

Thank you for your help anyway!
