1. In a plant species, flower-colour is determined by the biochemical pathway shown below:
E
A
B
C
D
Colourless
purple
orange red yellow
Genes A, B, C, D, and E are independently assorting. The dominant alleles A, B, C and D encode enzymes that catalyse the corresponding
reactions indicated above. The recessive alleles a, b, c and d are non-functional and do not produce active enzymes. The dominant E allele
totally inhibits the action of gene D, while the recessive allele e has no effect.
a)
Determine the F1 and F2 phenotypes from a cross between AABBCCDDEE and AABBCCDDee plants.
b)
What proportion of the offspring of an AaBBCCDdEe x aaBBCcDdEe cross is expected to have coloured flowers?
