Biyometri ve Genetik Anabilim Dalı, Dışkapı-Ankara/TÜRKİYE - İn this study, relationship between a simple autosomal dominant yellow (Y) and a simple autosomal ressesive dotted white (tdw) plumage color genes was subjected to genetical analysis. Consequently, autosomal dominant Y gene is also dominant to dtw gene (Y> + > dtw). Keywords : Japanese quail, Plumage color, Yellow, Dotted White
