Answer:

a. blue and featherless

Explanation:

  • Feathers (F) are dominant to no feathers (f)
  • Blue body (B) is dominant to white body (b)

If we testcross a dihybrid, we are crossing a homozygous recessive individual with a heterozygous individual.

Recombination is a rare event in meiosis, so the more abundant offspring are always the parentals, and the less abundant offspring are the recombinant ones.

In this case, bf/bf and BF/bf are the parentals and Bf/bf and bF/bf are the recombinants.

The option a. Blue and featherless (Bf/bf) offspring are the recombinant babies.
