Cock-feathering in chickens is a sex-limited trait, limited to the male sex. If two heterozygous chickens (a hen and rooster) were mated and produced 5 offspring, what is the probability that the offspring would include 2 hen-feathered females, 2 hen-feathered males, and 1 cock-feathered male (in any given order)?

In birds the male has two identical Z sex chromosomes (males are ZZ), whereas the female has one Z as well as a nearly blank chromosome, designated W (females are ZW). In parakeets two genes control feather color. The presence of the dominant Y allele at a Z-linked gene results in the production of a yellow pigment. The dominant B allele at an autosomal gene controls melanin production. When dominant alleles are present for both genes, the feathers are green....
