Feather color in budgies is determined by two different genes that affect the pigmentation of the outer feather and its core. Y_

B_ is green; yyB_ is blue; Y_bb is yellow; and yybb is white. A green budgie is crossed to a blue budgie. Which of the following results is not possible?
all green offspring
all blue offspring
all white offspring
all yellow offspring

Answer:

C (All white offsprings)

Explanation:

Feather colour in budgies is coded for by two genes (Y and B). The allele Y is dominant over the allele y in the first gene while the allele B is dominant over the allele b.

In a combined state of the two genes;

1. When either of both genes contains a dominant allele, the phenotypic characteristics (feather colour) will be green i.e. YYBB, YyBB, YYBb, YyBb genotypes

2. When both alleles of gene Y are recessive (yy), and one or two of the alleles of gene B are dominant (Bb, BB), the phenotypic characteristics will be blue i.e. yyBB, yyBb genotypes

3. When both alleles of gene B are recessive (bb) and one or two of the alleles of gene Y are dominant (Yy, YY), the phenotypic characteristics will be yellow i.e. Yybb, YYbb genotypes

4. When both alleles of gene Y and B are both recessive (y and b), the phenotypic characteristics will be white i.e. yybb genotype

In this case where a green budgie is crossed with a blue budgie, meaning that, a budgie with either of the genotypes YYBB, YyBB, YYBb, YyBb is crossed with a budgie with either genotypes yyBB, yyBb

Both parents contains genotype that have at least one dominant allele for both genes, therefore, their offsprings cannot have all their alleles recessive.

Since white feather colour will only be phenotypically expressed if both alleles in the two genes are homozygous recessive, then all offsprings cannot have all white feathers (yybb).

What gland secretes estrogen
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: In addition to their role in producing ova, the ovaries also have the distinction of being an endocrine gland because they secrete hormones—primarily estrogen and progesterone—that are vital to normal reproductive development and fertility. The ovaries are oval shaped and about the size of a large grape.
