In turkeys a dominant gene, R, produces the familiar bronze color; its recessive allele, r, results in red. Another dominant gene, H, results in normal feathers; its recessive allele, h, produces feathers without webbing, so that they resemble tufts of hairs. Two bronze turkeys with normal feathers were mated, and their offspring consisted of eight bronze with normal feathers, three bronze with hairy feathers, two red with normal feathers, and one red with hairy feathers. What were the genotypes of the parents?
Assuming that the red bird with hairy feathers is a female, what kinds of offspring would you expect, and in what proportions, if it were mated to its male parent?
