Testing Homology of Loci for Two Plumage Colors, “lavender” and “recessive white,” With Chicken and Japanese Quail Hybrids

摘要: Homology for two plumage color loci was studied by hybridization between chickens and Japanese quail. First, chicken-quail hybrids were produced from homozygous "lavender" chicken cocks "bleu" quail, all 30 had the same parental slate blue color. On other hand, no with this obtained out of 18 progeny wild-type These results show that is determined homologous in quail chickens. Second, (n = 25) hatched "recessive white" 8) or "wild-type" 17) pattern color, white feathers on ventral face colored elsewhere. indicate recessive mutations are not
