Feather colour in parakeets is controlled by two genes. Blue colour (B) is dominant over absence of colour (b). Yellow colour (Y) is dominant over absence of colour (y). When a Ballele and a Yallele are present, a green parakeet is produced. What is the percent probability of obtaining a yellow or blue parakeet when a heterozygous green parakeet is crossed with a white parakeet?

Parakeet
Feather colour in parakeets is controlled by two genes. Blue colour (B) is dominant over absence of colour (b). Yellow
colour (Y) is dominant over absence of colour (y). When a B allele and a Yallele are present, a green parakeet is produced.
What is the percent probability of obtaining a yellow or blue parakeet when a heterozygous green parakeet is crossed with
a white parakeet?
