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?

Thank you for viewing! Do you think you could help me?

confluxepic · Answer

Let me check. I'm not that good at this stuff.

anonymous · Answer

ok, thank you

anonymous · Answer

I have literally been stuck on this one problem the entire night almost.. :(

confluxepic · Answer

You see. The resulting offspring had both markings. If it had only one type it would be in favor of one side. But it has both markings.

anonymous · Answer

Well, yeah.. I sorta figured that out, but I still need help with ow to express that into the proper words needed for the question...

anonymous · Answer

*how

confluxepic · Answer

Tell me what percentage of genetic influence each parent had.

anonymous · Answer

Like with the whole "Geno and Phenotypic" portion... I thought maybe I could write that they are both equal, but I don't think that would be good enough..

confluxepic · Answer

Yes.

confluxepic · Answer

They are practically both equal.

anonymous · Answer

Um... It says that a crow with orange markings, was mixed with a crow who had brown markings, and together, they created an orange and brown spotted crow baby... Then it says that I must cross that "baby" with an orange spotted crow

confluxepic · Answer

So what are the ratios of their offspring.

anonymous · Answer

Um... Don't judge me if I am wrong, but would it be 1/2?

anonymous · Answer

Like 50% in a Punnett square, with one side having two homozygous recessive, and two heterozygous?

confluxepic · Answer

Yes.

confluxepic · Answer

So maybe the ratio is 1/2 or half.

anonymous · Answer

Ok... Because there is an other part of the question... why is the crow's markings considered co-dominant inheritance?

confluxepic · Answer

@sara_lee101 
I am not an expert in biology so make sure its correct by asking @Abhisar who is excellent in biology.

anonymous · Answer

Ok, I will try... But thank you so much for all your help!

confluxepic · Answer

When people make a company they share the ownership. They are called co-owners because they are all EQUAL.
