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)?

Enter your answer as the most simplified fraction (such as 1/4).

Sex-influenced trait

Baldness is governed by a sex-influenced trait which is dominant in men and recessive in women. In a sample of 10,000 men, 7225 were found to be non-bald. In a sample of equivalent size how many non-bald women are expected?

Colorblindness is a sex linked trait in humans. Normal vision is a sex linked dominant trait. A man’s maternal grandmother had normal vision; his maternal grandfather was colorblind; his mother is colorblind; his father has normal vision. What are the genotypes of the two grandparents and parents mentioned? What type of vision does the man have himself? What type have his sisters? If he should marry a woman genotypically like one of his sisters (he is not marrying one of...

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....
