What is the expected ratio of offspring with green body feathers to offspring with blue body feathers? Choose the most likely ratio.
[ "2:2", "0:4", "1:3", "3:1", "4:0" ]
To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with green body feathers or blue body feathers, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the body feather color trait. The question tells you that the b allele, which is for blue body feathers, is recessive to the B allele, which is for green body feathers. Green body feathers is the dominant allele's version of the body feather color trait. A budgerigar parakeet with the dominant version of the body feather color trait must have at least one dominant allele for the body feather color gene. So, offspring with green body feathers must have the genotype BB or Bb. There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype BB or Bb. These boxes are highlighted below. Blue body feathers is the recessive allele's version of the body feather color trait. A budgerigar parakeet with the recessive version of the body feather color trait must have only recessive alleles for the body feather color gene. So, offspring with blue body feathers must have the genotype bb. There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype bb. These boxes are highlighted below. So, the expected ratio of offspring with green body feathers to offspring with blue body feathers is 2:2. This means that, on average, this cross will produce 2 offspring with green body feathers for every 2 offspring with blue body feathers.
