Write the genotype for a homozygous green female

GG

Write the genotype for a cinnamon female.

gg

Write the genotype for a cinnamon male.

gg

Write the genotype for a green male.

GG

Write the genotype for a female carrier

Gg

Cross a pure dominant female with a cinnamon male.

GG x gg= Gg, Gg, Gg, and Gg 4:0 All green

How many of the offspring would be cinnamon male?

none as all the offspring is green feather
