Ok. Thank you so much. So the Royal Palm is homozygous. Good to know. Your knowledge of the genetics and alleles is amazing.There are only 2 color genes that are sex linked. The Narragansett gene (n) and the brown gene (e). It only works if the tom is the one that is homozygous for those color genes. If it is the hen, it doesn't work because the hen can only pass her sex linked color gene on to her male offspring.
Only the male can pass his sex linked color gene on to his female offspring..
