In a mystical bird species, birds with the dominant allele C are white, whereas birds homozygous for the recessive allele c are colored. This species also have a second locus that acts as a modifier gene if the bird is colored. If birds are colored and are G- at the second locus, they will be yellow. If they are colored and gg at the second locus, they will be green. You cross a double heterozygous bird and a double homozygous recessive (CcGg x ccgg). What percentage of the offspring will be white, and what percentage will be yellow?

The genetic profile of the embryos in a population is indicated in the table below. Following natural selection, the deleterious phenotype disappears and only a portion of the population reaches adulthood. Think about the values needed to complete the table, this will help you find the values needed for this question and the following two. What is the frequency of allele A in the reproductive adults?
