A cross of a white hen with a black rooster produces erminette color offspring both back and white feathers this type of inheritance is known as?

This type of inheritance is known as incomplete dominance, where the heterozygous offspring show a blend of characteristics from both parents rather than expressing a dominant trait. In this case, the erminette color results from a mix of black and white feathers due to incomplete dominance of black over white.


A cross of a black chicken with a white chicken produces all blue offspring this type of inheritance is known as?

What if a homozygous black guinea pig BB is crossed with homozygous white pig b what is the probability that an offspring will have lack fur?

If a homozygous black guinea pig (BB) is crossed with a homozygous white guinea pig (bb), all offspring will inherit one black allele (B) from the black parent and one white allele (b) from the white parent, resulting in heterozygous offspring (Bb). Since black fur is dominant over white fur, all offspring will have black fur. Therefore, the probability of an offspring having black fur is 100%.
