Edited by Nerwen

Oh my how fun, I remember when I joined this site you were doing something similar (helping Lin) and it was so foreign, now I have an opportunity to get it right...will start working.

  • Author

Thought you would answer :D

 

Yes I think I should start a lesson up again, I wonder what mutation I haven't covered.

I'm eagerly awaiting my book Nerwen! And then the questions will start!

In the pair number 4, which shade of blue is the cock??

fixed it made him cobalt

Edited by Nerwen

Hi Nerwen!

 

Here you have my answer:

 

Pair One

Single Factor Yellowface normal cock with Single Factor Yellowface opaline hen.

 

Resp:

 

25% Normal split for Opaline Cock, Normal Hen

50% Single Factor Yellowface split for Opaline Cock, Single Factor Yellowface Hen.

25% Double Factor Yellowface split for Opaline Cock, Double Factor Yellowface Hen.

 

Pair Two

Grey spangle cock split cinnamon with Green clearwing hen split blue.

 

 

Resp:

 

100% Spangles, more specifically:

 

50% Grey Spangle/Clearwing Cock.

25% Grey Spangle/Clearwing Hen.

25% Grey Spangle Cinnamon /Clearwing Hen.

 

Pair Three

Green normal cock split blue with Green normal hen split blue.

 

Resp:

 

25% Green Normal Hen and Cock

50% Green Normal split for Blue Hen and Cock

25% Blue Normal Hen and Cock

 

Pair Four

Recessive pied cobalt cock with mauve split recessive pied hen

 

Resp:

 

25% Normal Cobalt split for Recessive Pied Hen and Cock.

25% Normal Mauve split for Recessive Pied Hen and Cock.

25% Cobalt Recessive Pied Hen and Cock

25% Mauve Recessive Pied Hen and Cock

 

 

Pair Five

Lutino cock split blue with yellowface type two blue hen

 

Resp:

 

The Cock can’t be split for Blue. Blue is dominant to Lutino, so if he had both genes, he would have to be a Blue split for Lutino.

 

Pair Six

Dominant pied spangle green cock split blue split ino with Opaline spangle blue hen

 

Resp:

 

You would have to tell us if they are single or double factor spangles, because that has an influence on the result, for instance:

 

Spangle (SF) × Spangle (SF)

25% Spangles (DF)

50% Spangles (SF)

25% Normal

 

Spangle (DF) × Spangle (DF)

100% Spangles (DF)

 

And there is a second problem with pair six. The Cock can’t be Green and at the same time split for blue and split for Ino. If he received from one of his parents the Green gene, and from the other the Blue gene, both these genes would be dominant to the Ino gene, so what I’m saying is that, none of the parents could be giving him one dominant gene and one recessive gene (either giving green/ino or blue/ino).

I'll try to put it together for this one.. trying to figure out the math -- let me know if this looks right ::

And there is a second problem with pair six. The Cock can’t be Green and at the same time split for blue and split for Ino.

I don't see a problem with your original Nerwen. If you had a lutino male with a blue female, offspring males would be green split to blue and -ino. I've never heard of blue being dominant to -ino before.

Edited by HurdyBirdy

I aggree, You can have a male green split to blut split to ino. But you can't have a blue male split to green.

  • Author

:hap: I thought it easier just to change them.

 

If you want to talk about it post a new thread so we don't confuse people here.

I forgot to put blue for the first one..

 

Pair One

Single Factor Yellowface normal cock with Single Factor Yellowface opaline hen.

 

25% Double Factor Yellowface

50% Single Factor Yellowface

25% Normal Blue

Males will be split for opaline.

Hi HurdyBirdy!

 

I've never heard of blue being dominant to -ino before.

 

 

In Pair Five, there was a Lutino cock split blue, and I think that would be impossible, because of this:

 

“Like all the other known sex-linked genes in budgerigars, the Ino gene behaves as a recessive gene, thus for the individual to appear as a visual Albino, then if the bird has two X chromosomes then both X chromosomes must possess the Ino gene - since only the cock has the XX genotype, then only the XiXi genotype will appear as Albino, and XiX or XX will appear as Normal (non-Albino).”

 

This I found in this site:

 

www.Budgerigars.co.uk

 

 

So I concluded that if this cock had Xi (being Ino) and X (being blue), the Ino would act as recessive to Blue, and this Budgie could only be Blue split for Ino.

 

Am I wrong here?

 

As for Pair Six you were right and I was wrong when I thought that Green split for blue and split for Ino would be impossible. Your example was quite to the point.

 

Uffff… this is complicated stuff!! :rip:

They are not carried on the same chromosome. :rip:

Lutino cock split blue with yellowface type two blue hen

 

okay this is what I state first and after your answer changed it before thinking the matter over. I believe this is possible. Here is why:

 

Green is dominant to blue and so a bird only need one gene for it to show. Lutino is a bird with a green (normal) gene and the ino gene. The ino is a different gene to the blue gene and can be carryed (split) like any other recessive gene.

so you know I am working on this, I have 2 more to go. I have to say I am NOT as detials as the above answers (just a novice) feeling way over my head, but trying. :P

They don't have to be detailed to be correct :P

...okay you get chicks..;):P

 

:wub: sorry :D

(Laughing out loud), you just made me feel better.

Will get my answers on today..I didn't have to to figure the other two over the weekend.

okay, here we go, probably doesn't make sense :P but it did to me. I went over my answer and over them (and I figure if I keep going over them I will just keep changing my answers which could drive a person insane) I apolgize if some of it is not genetic terms or "bird genetic" terms are not completely correct.

Like I said I was not as detailed as most and as Daz said :blink: either way it is a budgie.
