It's my day off from work and I have absolutely nothing to do. So YAY. Thank you Elly! I'll do the best I can, but my genetics class is kind of far behind me.

8) When a bird is said to be masking something, what does that mean? Also, give an example.

 

A. split for another color or variety - green x blue would get green babies but the babies would still be carrying the blue gene and could pass it to their off spring

 

 

 

9) What dominant varieties change appearance when they have two genes for the trait?

spangle, pied, yellowface

 

 

10) What does it mean when a bird is said to be split?

This is fun.

 

1) Can a recessive pied be bred from a pair of dominant pieds?

 

Yes

 

 

 

2) Can a dominant pied be bred from a pair of recessive pieds?

 

No

 

 

 

3) There are no known dominant varieties with red eyes. Is this statement true or false?

 

True

 

 

 

4) Is it possible for a bird to be visually carrying the color gray, violet, dark factor, sex-linked, dominant and recessive traits all at the same time?

 

Yes

 

 

 

5) The yellow face on a yellow face blue is considered to be a dominant trait. What is the white face on a green considered to be?

B. does not exist

 

 

6) Name four varieties for each of the following.

 

Dominant Recessive Sex-linked

 

Dominant:Yellowface, Grey, DOminant Pied, Violet

Recessive:Fallow, Greywing, Clearwing, Rec. Pied

Sex-Linked: Lutino, Albino,opaline, clearbody

8) When a bird is said to be masking something, what does that mean? Also, give an example.

 

B. preventing the true visual color or variety to be seen

example: You have a green opaline that is recessive pied. The entire body of the bird is yellow (because of the rec. pied gene). THat would mean yellow is masking opaline.

1. Spangle

2. yf.

3. pied

4. violet

nope going to see if anyone else wanted a shot at it ;)

Can I play? :D I guess not, huh. It helps if you don't know the answers or have them at your fingertips. :wub:
