An incompletely dominant gene controls the color of

chickens so that BB produces black, Bb produces a slate-gray color called blue, and bb produces splashed white. A second gene controls comb shape, with the dominant gene R producing a rose comb and r producing a single comb. If a pure-breeding, black chicken with a rose comb is mated to a splashedwhite chicken with a single comb in the F2 generation, what fraction of the offspring will be blue with rose comb? a. 9/16 b. 3/8 c. 3/16 d. 1/8 e. 1/16
