The ruffed chicken has an under-chin wattle. A smooth wattle (S) is dominant over a wrinkled wattle (s). A red wattle (HR) is incompletely dominant with a white wattle (HW) so that an individual with HRHW will have a pink wattle.  A chicken with a wrinkled red wattle is mated to a homozygous chicken with a smooth white wattle. What is the genotype and phenotype of the chicks?

4. The ruffed chicken has an under-chin wattle. A smooth wattle (S) is dominant over a wrinkled wattle (s). A red wattle (HR) is incompletely dominant with a white wattle (HW) so that an individual with HRHW will have a pink wattle.  A chicken with a wrinkled red wattle is mated to a homozygous chicken with a smooth white wattle. What is the genotype and phenotype of the chicks? 

4. The ruffed chicken has an under-chin wattle. A smooth wattle (S) is
dominant over a wrinkled wattle (s). A red wattle (H") is incompletely
dominant with a white wattle (H") so that an individual with H*HW will have a
pink wattle. A chicken with a wrinkled red wattle is mated to a homozygous
chicken with a smooth white wattle. What is the genotype and phenotype of
the chicks? [4 points]
