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. The probability of obtaining a female or male parakeet is the same as for humans. A green parakeet crossed with a white parakeet produced offspring with four different colour patterns. What is the genotype of the green parakeet?  Answer (choose between options in picture)

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.

The probability of obtaining a female or male parakeet is the same as for humans.

A green parakeet crossed with a white parakeet produced offspring with four different colour patterns.

What is the genotype of the green parakeet?  Answer (choose between options in picture)
