Feather color in budgies is determined by two different genes Y and B. YYBB, YyBB, or YYBb is green; yyBB or yyBb is blue; YYbb or Yybb is yellow; and yybb is white. Two blue budgies were crossed. Over the years, they produced 22 offspring, 5 of which were white. What are the most likely genotypes for the two blue budgies?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The most likely genotypes for the two blue budgies would be yyBb

Explanation:

There are three options to cross two blue parakeets:

yyBB x yyBB

yyBB x yyBb

yyBb x yyBb

of the first option, the F1 genotypes will be 100% yyBB  (blue)

In the second option, the F1 budgies will be yyBB or yyBb (blue in both cases). In contrast, in the third option, the F1 genotypes will be yyBB, yyBb (blue in both cases) and yybb (white).
