Chicken Dance GIFs | TenorIt is found that in cha-cha chickens, the allele for a double comb (A) is dominant to the allele for a single comb (a). A mother with the genotype Aa and a father with the genotype Aa produce an offspring.
What is the percent chance that the offspring will have a single comb?

According to the given information, the mother has the genotype Aa and the father also has the genotype Aa. This means that both parents have one dominant allele (A) for a double comb and one recessive allele (a) for a single comb.
To determine the percent chance that the offspring will have a single comb, we need to analyze the possible combinations of alleles that the offspring can inherit.
The possible combinations of alleles that the offspring can inherit are:
1) AA - double comb
2) Aa - double comb
3) aA - double comb
4) aa - single comb
Out of these four possible combinations, only one combination (aa) results in a single comb.
Therefore, there is a 1 out of 4 chance (1/4) or 25% chance that the offspring will have a single comb.
