What is the phenotype of the flower whose genotype is Pp

• white
• purple
• lilac 
• spotted 

In dogs, the gene for fur color has two alleles.  The dominant allele (F) codes for grey fur and the recessive allele (f) codes for black fur. The female dog is heterozygous.  The male dog is homozygous recessive. Predict  the most likely  phenotype ratio and  and genotype ratio  of their possible puppies. 

• 100% black ff
• 100% grey FF
• 50% grey Ff
• 25% grey FF

In some chickens, the gene for feather color is controlled by codominance. The allele for black is B and the allele for white is W. The heterozygous phenotype is known as erminette. What is the genotype for erminette chickens? 

• BB
• F^wF^w
• WW
• F^WF^B

If two erminette (heterozygous) chickens were crossed, what is the probability that they would have a black chick? ____%

• 0%

• 25%

• 50%

• 100%
