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 Y allele 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? Show all work including Punnett square and explanation. Record your answer as a whole number rounded to one decimal place.

In garden pea plants, axial flower location is dominant (A) to terminal flower location (a). If a plant that is heterozygous for axial flower location is crossed with a plant that has terminal flower location, what is the genotypic ratio of the offspring?
Sometimes, two alleles are neither dominant nor recessive, therefore, both alleles are expressed separately in a heterozygous individual. This is called codominance. Which of the following is an example of codominance? a In guinea pigs, black hair is dominant over white hair. A homozygous black guinea pig is crossed with a homozygous white guinea pig. The first generation of offspring are black. b If you cross a plant with blue flowers with a plant with yellow flowers, the offspring will have blue flowers with yellow spots. c If you cross a rhododendron plant with red flowers with a rhododendron plant with white flowers, the offspring will have pink flowers. d A white female cat mates with a brown male cat. The resulting offspring are orange.
In Elves, curled toes (T) is dominant to flat toes (t). If an Elf that is heterozygous were crossed with an Elf that is homozygous recessive, what possible offspring could there be in the F1 generation?
In watermelons, the green colour gene (G) is dominant over the striped colour gene (g), and round shape (R) is dominant over long shape (r). A heterozygous round green colour (GgRr) watermelon plant is crossed with another heterozygous round green colour (GgRr) plant. Determine the expected phenotypic ratio of the F1 generation.
Parakeets can have white, blue, green or yellow feathers. Feather color in parakeets is determined by two different genes Y and B. YYBB, YYBb, YyBB, or YyBb is green; yyBB or yyBb is blue; YYbb or Yybb is yellow; and yybb is white. A green parakeet with genotype YYBB is crossed with a white parakeet. Which of the following would be expected? green offspring yellow offspring blue offspring A and B A, B, and C
In cocker spaniels, solid coat color is dominant over spotted coatcolor. If two heterozygous dogs were crossed to each other, whatwould be the probability of the following combinations of offspring?A. A litter of five pups, four with solid fur and one with spotted fur.B. A first litter of six pups, four with solid fur and two with spotted fur, and then a second litter of five pups, all with solid fur.C. A first litter of five pups, the firstborn with solid fur, and thenamong the next four, three with solid fur and one with spottedfur, and then a second litter of seven pups in which the firstborn is spotted, the second born is spotted, and the remainingfive are composed of four solid and one spotted animal.D. A litter of six pups, the firstborn with solid fur, the second bornspotted, and among the remaining four pups, two with spottedfur and two with solid fur
In chickens, rose comb (R) is dominant to single comb (r). What types of offspring would be expected from a white rooster who is heterozygous rose combed who is crossed with a single-combed Andalusian blue hen.
In butterflies, blue wings (B) are dominant over yellow wings (b), and stripes (S) are dominant over no stripes (s). These genes for these two characteristics assort independently. A homozygous butterfly with yellow wings and no stripes is crossed with a homozygous butterfly that has blue wings and stripes. Afterward, individuals from this F1 generation were crossed obtaining a total of 272 butterflies as follows: 135 blue-winged butterflies with stripes, 55 blue with no stripes, 57 yellow with stripes, and 25 yellow without stripes. What is the X2 value
The alleles for flower colour in snapdragons show incomplete dominance (RR = red, RW = pink, WW = white). If a red and a pink flower are crossed, what are the possible genotype and phenoytype ratios of their offspring?
