Question
E. W. Lindstrom crossed two corn plants with green seedlings and
obtained the following progeny: 3583 green seedlings, 853 virescentwhite
seedlings, and 260 yellow seedlings (E. W. Lindstrom. 1921.
Genetics 6:91–110).
a. Give the genotypes for the green, virescent-white, and yellow progeny.
b. Explain how color is determined in these seedlings.
c. Is there epistasis among the genes that determine color in the corn
seedlings? If so, which gene is epistatic and which is hypostatic?

One type produces round and green seeds, while the other type produces wrinkled and yellow seeds. A plant breeder crossed these two types and then allowed the F1 generation to self-fertilize.

The mutants were bred in a complementation test to produce the following: Mutant 2 4 # 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 1 1 Where a "0" (zero) means clear wing offspring and a "1" (one) means wildtype (black wing offspring).
