Suppose you mate a black rooster with a white hen. The feathers of all the offspring are "gray," a color that is intermediate between black and white. Explain the inheritance pattern in these chickens.

The correct answer is - incomplete dominance

Explanation:

An incomplete inheritance or incomplete dominance is an inheritance pattern when the dominant allele of the particular trait is not able to completely mask the effect of the recessive allele and express the mixed or intermediate effect of both the alleles.

Since the gray color is the expression of the mix or intermediate character of both dominant and recessive alleles between black and white, incomplete dominance is the simplest way to explain the inheritance of this character.

answer; /// the correct )

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
