In a mystical bird species, birds with the dominant allele C are white, whereas birds homozygous for the recessive allele c are colored. This species also have a second locus that acts as a modifier gene if the bird is colored. If birds are colored and are G- at the second locus, they will be yellow. If they are colored and gg at the second locus, they will be green. You cross a double heterozygous bird and a double homozygous recessive (CcGg \times ccgg). What percentage of the offspring will be white, and what percentage will be yellow?
