Two parrots have different parents. One parrot has red chest feathers, and the other parrot has yellow chest feathers. Why do the parrots have different feather colors on their chest?

• Each parrot has different feather colors because offspring from different parents will have different feather colors.

• Each parrot has different feather colors because they have different versions of the gene for feather color that connect together to make different feather colors.

• The parrots have different versions of the gene for feather color, and the genes are different colors in each parrot’s feathers.

• The parrots have different versions of the gene for feather color, which instruct for different proteins that connect in different ways to make different feather colors.
