If is it sex-linked, than it is on one of sex chromosomes, as it can have also woman, it must be on X ch.
So, you have like
xx (color blind woman must be homozygotic, as it is recesive) x XY
so basically you can get
xX and xY, so you will always get color blind boy and healthy girl (but which has one allel for color blindness, so half of their children will too etc.)

So, color blind child 50%
color blind son 100%
color blind daughter 0%
😉 I hope so 🙂

I see, what’s your problem, now.

you are right, if you take Xb/XB as one nonbreakable thing! The gene is on X chromosome, so you are basically interested in whether there is or is not the X chromosome and which version, so you can basically take it only as xx x XY, OK?

A cross breeder amateur is trying to get some crested canaries. He bought a couple of crested ones and coupled them. he obtained 21 eggs, among which 11 were crested and 4 were normal (without crest) , the others didnt hatch.
however, he changes the breeders but doesnt get any better results with other crested canaries couples: some eggs never hatch and the other give birth to crested canaries or to normal ones.
1) Are the crested canaries homozygous or heterozygous ? justify
i think it is heterozygous
2) Admitting that the crested character and the normal one are governed by only one couple of alleles, indicate whether there is dominance of an allele over the other or co dominance between the two alleles.
i didnt understand the question
3) write the genotypes of normal and crested canaries
Genotypes of normal: N//N
Genotypes of crested: C//n
4) Knowing that it is impossible to find crested canaries, if self crossed, that generate some exclusively crested canaries, search for a real explanation that some eggs never hatch ( the quarter on average)
i have no idea on this one
i need help in this problem as fast as possible
thxxx 🙂

Apparently, the homozygous crested stuff is lethal, so about 1/4 does not hatch, 2/4 are crested (heterozygotes) and 1/4 is back normal.
Just don’t know, why at the genotype of crested you have C?

So as u answered, u mean that the crested canaries are heterozygous.
wat did u mean abt the genotype , they are wrong
do u have any idea about part 2 and 4 or can u ask anyone that can help
thx alot

OK, and now try to write it in English, OK? I’m not a decoding machine to read this :-/

just to add on the girl will be hetrozygous and a carrier

i think it’s 11:4 i.e. 3:1 ratio
the concern about hatching or not hatching will be governed by another allele or gene.

the crested ones are hetrozygous alright

now the allele for the crested one is dominant.
codominance is when both the alleles are dominant
if have allele for white and red coat codominant get a pink coat
while ioncomplete dominance will lead to spotted animal or one with patches.

3.
crested: N n and N N
normal: n n
key: where N stand for the crested allel and n stands for the normal allele

Yeah, I wrote it there above 🙄

okay i understood but concerning parts b , c and d. does anyone have an idea about them

ok, concerining part b if the crested canaries is dominant so we have dominance of allele over the other .in part d , wat can we say more specifically and precise?/
