Plumage color in canaries is in part controlled by 2 unlinked genes that display epistasis:
Gene A codes for an enzyme involved in the manufacture of the dark pigment melanin. A recessive allele that displays a
complete dominance pattern of inheritance fails to produce melanin.
Gene B is a patterning gene, whose protein product interacts with gene A epistatically. It too has a recessive allele that
prevents the expression of gene A, resulting in a yellow feather, regardless of the allele present for gene A. Gene B acts in a
co-dominant fashion, where in heterozygous individuals the dominant allele is expressed in some feathers, while the recessive
allele is expressed in others.
You take a true-breeding green canary and cross it with a yellow canary of unknown genotype. After many crosses of
these two parents you obtain many dozen offspring of which some are green and some are pied. No offspring are yellow, and
your sample size of offspring is large enough to convince you that these two parental canaries have genotypes that are not
able to produce yellow offspring.
Knowing how plumage color is inherited in canaries, and knowing the outcome of this cross, what is the genotype of the yellow
parent?
