Question
Pepper plants of the species Capsicum annuum produce peppers of 4 different colors
(red, orange, yellow, or white). A true-beeding red pepper plant was crossed with a
true-breeding white pepper plant and all of the offspring were red. When these F1
red peppers were self fertilized they produced progeny of all four varieties in the
following ratio (9 red : 3 orange : 3 yellow : 1 white). What can you conclude about
pepper color in these plants?
there are 4 alleles of the pepper color gene
the genes for pepper color are linked
pepper color is controlled by one gene
pepper color is controlled by two genes
