Today we’ve learned that Snow Geese come in two colors: white or blue/ grey. The grey coloring is from a single dominant gene. The white bird is homozygous for white. Birds of either sex can be either color. Mated pairs tend to be the same coloring but not always. ClaireAnna’s made Punet squares to see what coloring the offspring will be based on the genetics of their parents.
