True or False
1. Feather color in Kulaki birds is inherited through simple dominant/recessive inheritance.
2. The letter Y should be used to represent the yellow feathers gene.
3. Yellow feathered birds must be homozygous.
4. Yellow feathered birds must have the genotype pp.
5. A purple feathered bird must have the genotype PP.
6. A heterozygous bird must have the genotype Pp.
7. Two purple feathered parents can produce only purple feathered babies.
8. If a homozygous dominant male is mated with a homozygous recessive female, according to the laws of genetics, there is a 0% chance that they will produce a yellow feathered baby.
9. If two heterozygotes mate, the chances of them producing a yellow feathered bird are 1 out of 4.
10. Two heterozygotes mate and the female lays 4 eggs. The first three eggs which hatch contain purple feathered birds. Therefore, the fourth egg must contain a yellow feathered bird.
