Posted March 28, 200619 yr First round. Three chicks are cobalt recessive pied and the forth is a green recessive pied. Dad is a cobalt recessive Pied and mum is a Green Cinnamonwing. How is this so???? The second round has five chicks what could they be?? Nerwen... I know you know, lets see how the others go. There is only one answer to the first question!
March 28, 200619 yr :(Laughing out loud): We must be on a brainwave Daz. I was just thinking of making a quiz like this.
March 28, 200619 yr both are carrying the recessive pied gene mum and dad blue is recessive so both parents are carrying the blue gene & 1 dark factor to make the cobalt coloring the green recessive pied is a type 2 pied (blue and yellow make green) These are my answers for the first question The 2nd question: - bear with me I have to break it down gene by gene I haven't learned to combine it all together. Cinnamon Gene: babies would be 100% normals, males will be split for cinnamon gene 50% blues 50% greens Recessive Pied Gene: 50% pieds 50% split for pied gene Dark Factor Gene - not sure if this is right 50% would have the 1 dark factor (making a cobalt or darker green) 50% would not have any dark factor gene (making sky blue or regular green) Edited March 28, 200619 yr by lovey
March 28, 200619 yr First round. Three chicks are cobalt recessive pied and the forth is a green recessive pied.Dad is a cobalt recessive Pied and mum is a Green Cinnamonwing. How is this so???? My first instinct would be to say that dad is a double factor dominant pied since all the chicks came out pied. If he doesn't have iris rings, I wonder if a bird could be both dominant and recessive pied - since they are different mutations. I don't know. If he is definately recessive, than mom must also be split for recessive pied.. but still only a 50% chance of chicks being recessive.. maybe they beat the odds a bit on the first clutch. The mother is split for blue as well. The second round has five chicks what could they be?? They could be more blue or green recessive pieds.. as well as blue normals and green normals. Males would be split for cinnamon.
March 28, 200619 yr Author okay The Male's Phenotype (what he looks like) is a recessive colbalt pied. His Genotype (what hi genes are) is a Single Dark Factor Blue mutant 1 recessive pied. (so far as I know from the breeding) The Female's Phenotype is a Green Cinnamonwing.... What is her Genotype????? This is the question. lovey the term "type 2" usually refers to a yellow face gene. Green is the wild gene which other mutations act upon to change the phenotype. If there is no mutant genes acting upon the wild gene you get a green bird with Budgies.
April 1, 200619 yr Author Sorry all okay to get recessed Chicks from a mating of Recessed and Normal the normal must be split to recessed. So the Cinnamonwing is split to recessed pied. If we cross a normal/recessed x Recessed pied We should get 50% Normal/recessed pieds and 50% Recessed Pieds. As the female is a cinnamon wing We should get cocks that are split to cinnamon and normal hens. So unless the Recessed pied is split to Cinnamon we shouldn't get Cinnamon Hens...... But this is Phoebe. A female from the first clutch.... A Cinnamonwing recessed pied... The male was split to cinnamon. So the final out come should be Cinnamon Reccessed Pied Hens Well I have 5 chicks from that pair. The oldest is 17 days with the youngest being 8 days. The oldest is a recessed pied. so is the next oldest but the others I am not sure of...yet Oh the possible outcome 25% - Cinnamon, Recessive Pied, Split Blue 25% - Recessive Pied, Split Cinnamon, Split Blue 25% - Cinnamon, Split Recessive Pied, Split Blue 25% - Normal Green, Split Cinnamon, Split Recessive Pied, Split Blue Edited April 1, 200619 yr by daz
April 1, 200619 yr To me, it looks like you have at least 2 more white recessive pieds(The next biggest ones....so the 2nd, and the 3rd born), and a normal green (the 4th born)....then the youngest baby is to hard to tell....yet Kirby
April 1, 200619 yr I say the two oldest are recessive (which you said) the next two look like normals a blue then a green. And yes the youngest is too early to see. By the way you left normal blue of your possible outcomes.
April 2, 200619 yr Author oooppss your right. . I think the normals are blues but we will wait to see. I'll post more photos next week.
June 20, 200718 yr oooppss your right. . I think the normals are blues but we will wait to see. I'll post more photos next week. Gee Daz, Thats a long week & we still have`nt any photos :(Laughing out loud): :feedbirds:
