You find that all four flower color genes map to the second
chromosome, and perform complementation tests with deletions for each
gene. You obtain the following results:
(mutant a = blue, mutant b = white, mutant c = pink, mutant d = red)

1. Below is a pedigree of a rare trait that is associated with a variable number
repeat. PCR was performed on individuals using primers flanking the VNR,
and results are shown on the agarose gel below the pedigree.

A. (5 points) What is the mode of inheritance?
B. (10 points) Fill in the expected gel lanes for II.1, II.5, III.2, III.3 and III.4
C. (5 points) How might you explain the gel results for II.4?
To study genes that create the purple flower color in peas, you isolate 4 amorphic mutations. Each results in a flower with a different color, described
mutant a = blue
mutant c = pink
mutant b = white
mutant d = red
A. In tests of double mutants, you observe the following phenotypes:
mutants a and b = blue
mutants b and c = white
mutants c and d = pink
Assuming you are looking at a biosynthetic pathway, draw the pathway indicating which step is affected by each mutant.
B. What is the expected flower color of a double mutant of a and c?
