In cats, the genes for coat color are X- linked on separate chromosomes. Black is due to gene B and orange is due to its codominant allele, gene 0. The heterozygous condition of XB X0 results in a calico cat. An orange male is mated with a calico female. What percent of the offspring will be black males?

Assume that an incompletely dominant gene controls the feather color in chickens so that BB produces black, BW produces a slate-gray color called blue, and WW produces asplashed-white. A second gene on a separate chromosome controls comb shape, with the dominant gene R producing a rose comb and the recessive genes rr producing a single comb. A homozygous black, single comb-chicken is mated with a homozygous white, rose-comb chicken. The offspring are the allowed to breed freely among themselves. What proportion of their offspring (this would be the second filial (F2) generation) would have white feathers and single comb?
