Question

The patterns on the leaves in clover plants are controlled by a single gene. There are seven different alleles for this gene that form a dominance series. One allele encodes an absence of a pattern and is recessive to the other six alleles, each of which produces a unique pattern. All heterozygous genotypes show complete dominance.
-how many different patterns are possible under this system? -How many genotypes could produce each phenotype? -How can you explain a field of clover that has all possible leaf patterns, but the vast majority o plants have no pattern?

Explanation / Answer

The arrangement of veins in a leaf is called the leaf pattern.

1.Possible types are two - Reticulate and Parallel

2. 2 genotypes

3. Such a field would be composed of leaves that have recessive genes (homozygous) and therefore, no pattern.
