Question 25
4 PL
A landscaping company wants to sell plants with flowers that are purple to match the
company logo. It is known that this species of plant is capable of producing both purple and
white flowers. You are tasked with ensuring no white flowers appear during propagation
scale up of the purple flower plants. Before starting, you need to know the genotype of the
plants with purple flowers and that with white flowers. It was previously established that the
purple color is due to a pigment produced by a well-known biosynthetic pathway. You
deduce that white flowers result from lack of the pigment and therefore white is recessive (p)
to purple (P). To begin the propagation program, you have a been given a flower of each
color.
What is the most efficient procedure you could use to be sure the plants you provide to the
company will produce only purple flowers? Choose the best answer from the list below.
O Inbreed plants of both colors for 6 generations
O Produce an F2 generation
O Determine if the gene for flower color has co-dominant alleles
O Produce an F1 generation
O Do a back cross
O Do a test cross
