Essay
Feather color in chickens is the result of an incompletely dominant gene. The gene responsible for black feathers (B) when homozygous results in a muted color called "Andalusian blue" if combined with an allele for white feathers (b). When the white allele occurs in homozygous conditions, a white phenotype results. A gene affecting comb shape (R), which results in a comb called a "rose" comb, is completely dominant over (r), which in homozygous conditions results in a comb called "single." A mating between a black single rooster and white rose hen results in a number of chicks, all of which have identical phenotypes.
