There is a dwarfing allele (D) in White Leghorn chickens, which reduces body size from 5 lbs (DD, DD) to 3 lbs (DD) on average. There is also a reduction in the annual egg production from 290 eggs/year (DD), to 280 eggs/year (DD) to 220 eggs/year (DD). Egg size also goes down a bit too, but not enough to affect egg value. The frequency (q) of the dwarf gene D2 is 9pts a) Complete the table below for both body weight and annual egg production for your flock.
