A male Tiggydon is homozygous recessive for both wacky wings (w) and flashy feathers (f). He is crossed with a female who is homozygous dominant (normal wings and normal feathers) for both traits. What are the genotypes of these exotic birds? (female - male)

wf X WF = Ww Wf wF Ff

Explanation:

From the above crossing, it is expedient to note that the all the exotic genotype offspring are females dominating by having normal wings, feathers over the recessive males although 2 offspring will be heterozygous while 2 will be homozygous as it was crossed above
