Alright guyss..... Im Back, for that i'm giving you a little Question

in a Desert beetween China And Mongolia, the time was the mating season for Gigantoraptor, a Female Mongolian Gigantoraptor because of the isolation, the female and the population of mongolian Gigantoraptor had Big Body and Short Feather ( BBll )

while she wander, she came across a male Western china Gigantoraptor, normally having a Small body and Long Feather ( bbLL )

the 2 of them produce offspring (F1) with 100 % Big Body and Long Feather ( BbLl )

after the offspring became adult, our offspring went to search for mate, and she found a male with the resesive Gen of her Mother, they producing the F2

QUESTION : in F2, how many percent did the offspring had Big Body and short Feather ( Bbll ) ?

submit your answer in the comment.

Uh...

Let me think...

Life cannot be contained, it breaks walls, crashes through barriers sometimes painfully, but uh... Life uh, finds a way

ELITE RAPTOR 007 - Hmm, this is a very involved question you've posed. Let me think. I'd say 25.97% are Bbll. Maybe. Possibly. Perhaps... :)

Assuming that the genotype of the F1 female's mate is bbll, and that Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is excluded, then 25% of F1's offspring are predicted to have the genotype Bbll, resulting in the phenotype for a large body and short feathers.

But if the genotype of the F1 female's mate is Bbll, and we still exclude Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium, then 37.5% of the F2 generation are predicted to have a large-body/short-feather phenotype. 25% of the total F2 generation are predicted to have the genotype Bbll, and 12.5% of the total F2 population are predicted to have the genotype BBll.

ALPHADINO65 - You certainly broke it down nicely! Math has never been my strong suit. :)
