31 Most birds have a coloured pigment in their feathers, but in a few individuals, pigment is absent
and the birds are albinos.
Albinism occurs when a bird is homozygous recessive for the gene which creates the coloured
pigment.
If two albino birds mated, what describes the appearance of their offspring?
A
all albino
all coloured
32 In an animal, the allele for straight fur is dominant to the allele for curly fur.
A pair of these animals mate and have nine offspring with straight fur and three with curly fur.
F represents the allele for straight fur and f represents the allele for curly fur.
