Answer: The genotype of a homozygous black bird is BB while that of a homozygous white bird is bb. The genotype of the offsprings is Bb
Explanation: A cross between a homozygous black bird (BB) and a homozygous white bird (bb) will produce four offsprings all with genotype Bb.
A homozygous black bird (BB) will manifest phenotypically as a black bird and a homozygous white bird (bb) will manifest phenotypically as a white bird while a heterozygous bird (Bb) will manifest phenotypically as bluish-gray bird.
