Suppose that a compound attractive to pollinators is produced by a plant in a pathway encoded by genes one (O) and two (T). You have obtained two pure lines of plants, one that produces the compound and one that does not (OOTT and oott, respectively). You cross them to obtain F1 plants that are heterozygous at both loci. (a) Use a branch diagram to visualize the possible outcomes of a cross between two F1 plants. (b) Calculate the expected proportion of offspring that will produce the attractant if this is a case of duplicate recessive epistasis. (c) What is the expected proportion of offspring that will produce attractant if this is a case of duplicate dominance?

A researcher crosses two white-flowered lines ofAntirrhinum plants as follows and obtains the followingresults:pure line 1 × pure line 2↓F1 all whiteF1 × F1↓F2 131 white29 reda. Deduce the inheritance of these phenotypes; useclearly defined gene symbols. Give the genotypes ofthe parents, F1, and F2.b. Predict the outcome of crosses of the F1 with eachparental line.

In corn plants, a dominant allele (I) inhibits kernel colour, but the recessive allele (i) permits colour when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant gene P causes purple kernel colour, and the homozygous recessive genotype pp causes red kernels. If plants that are heterozygous at both loci are crossed, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the F1 generation?

In the rare rainbow rose, it has been shown that flower color is controlled by 2 genes. No one knows how the 2 genes are related and several hypotheses have emerged to explain how they interact to produce flowers with purple, yellow, and green pedals. You cross purple and green flowering plants, and find that F1 are all yellow colored. You allow F1 to self-fertilize and this produces 222 purple, 222 yellow and 222 green flowers. The 2 most popular theories are: a co-dominance relationship or an epistatic relationship between the 2 genes. Your team deduces that if co-dominance should result in 216 purple, 220 yellow and 230 green. Where as, an epistatic relationship should result in 250 purple, 200 yellow, and 216 green.   1-Which hypothesis is correct? a- Co-dominace  b- Epistatic  and The odds the theory  you selected is correct  is (less or greater) than (10%,25%,50%,90%)
