Multiple Choice
In chickens, comb shape is determined by genes at two loci (R, r and P, p) . A walnut comb is produced when at least one dominant gene R is present at one locus and at least one dominant gene P is present at a second locus (genotype R_ P_) . A rose comb is produced when at least one dominant gene is present at the first locus and two recessive genes are present at the second locus (genotype R_ pp) . A pea comb is produced when two recessive genes are present at the first locus and at least one dominant gene is present at the second (genotype rr P_) . If two recessive genes are present at the first and the second locus (rr pp) , a single comb is produced.
-Give genotypes for comb shape of the parents in the following cross: Pea crossed with single produces 1 single offspring.
A) rr PP × rr pp
B) RR Pp × rr pp
C) Rr PP × rr pp
D) Rr Pp × rr pp
E) rr Pp × rr pp
