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?
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.
