The allele for pea comb (P) in chickens ...

The allele for pea comb (P) in chickens is completely dominant to the allele for single comb (p) . The alleles for black feather colour (B), and white feather colour (B') show codominance, so that BB' individuals possess blue feathers.

A

`9//16`

B

`3//16`

C

`1//16`
