Question:

In chickens, the absence of barred feathers is due to a recessive allele. A barred rooster was mated with a nonbarred hen, and all the offspring were barred. These F1chickens were intercrossed to produce F2 progeny, among which all the males were barred; half the females were barred and half were nonbarred. Are these results consistent with the hypothesis that the gene for barred feathers is located on one of the sex chromosomes?
