Scientists Are Attempting to Make a Chicken Look Like a Dinosaur

Scientists are attempting to make a chicken look like a dinosaur ("dino-chicken") by using drugs or proteins to turn on certain homeotic genes in somatic cells during the development of a chicken embryo. If the scientists are successful in creating both male and female "dino-chickens," and then the "dino-chickens" mate, what type of offspring would the two "dino-chickens" have?

A) a male or female "dino-chicken"
B) a male or female normal chicken
C) You can't know for sure because of random fertilization.
