Title: What is the probability of obtaining a blue parakeet when two green heterozygous parakeets...
Post by: peaches+cream on Oct 29, 2014
Question one:
Feather colour in pararkeets is controlled by two genes. For one pigment gene, the B allel produces blue colour and the b allele does not produce any colour. For the other pigment gene, the Y allel produces yellow colour and the y allele does not produce any colour. Any genotype containing at least one B allele and one Y allele will produce a green parakeet.

Which of the following parental genotypes could produce offspring with the four colour patterns?

A. bbYY x bbyy
B. BbYY x Bbyy
C. BBYy x BbYy
D. Bbyy x bbYy

HINT: Use a punnett square to demonstrate your answer is correct. Do you need punnett squares of size 4 rows X 4 columns?

(I'm thinking that the answer is B, but I don't know if I did the work right).


Question two:
(Almost like the last question) But now it asks:
What is the probability of obtaining a blue parakeet when two green heterozygous parakeets are crossed?

A. 0
B. 9/16
C. 3/16
D. 1/4


If anyone could help me understand it would be much appriciated!!!  :)

Hey peaches+cream, it's easy to do, but just very time consuming, because you will have to create four dihybrid crosses, like:
