A blue peacock bird has the color blue feathers and is heterozygous (Bb), but the flamingo have pink colored feathers but she is homozygous recessive (bb).They are giving birth to a baby bird. How likely is it that the baby bird gets pink feathers?
Tiffany Zhou
To express the recessive gene, the baby bird must have bb.
Since the one parent is bb, they will always pass the recessive b.
The other parent is Bb, so they have a 50% chance of each.
Therefore the child has a 50% chance of Bb and a 50% chance of bb. BB is impossible. Therefore the baby bird has a 50% chance of having pink feathers.
