a. A variety of fruit bearing plants with the dominant allele A produces cream-coloured fruit while aa plants produce pink or red fruit. Red fruit is produced if allele B is present, and pink fruit is produced when the genotype is bb. What are the expected F2 phenotypes and proportions from intercrossing the F1 offspring of a cross between two plants with the genotype AAbb and aaBB?

Question

a. A variety of fruit bearing plants with the dominant allele A produces cream-coloured fruit while aa plants produce pink or red fruit. Red fruit is produced if allele B is present, and pink fruit is produced when the genotype is bb. What are the expected F2 phenotypes and proportions from intercrossing the F1 offspring of a cross between two plants with the genotype AAbb and aaBB?
 
b. A certain animal can have brown, red, black or gray fur. Assume that fur colour is controlled by a single gene with multiple alleles in a dominance series where black (B1) > brown (B2) > red (B3) > gray (B4). Give the genotypes of two phenotypically different heterozygotes that when crossed produce offspring with the phenotypic ratio of 1 red : 2 black : 1 brown.
