Question

Key to problems 1 and 2

     Y_ = yellow endosperm                                   

      yy = white endosperm

Both C_ and R_ must be present for pigment in aleuron.

Pr_    produces purple aleuron.

    prpr   produces red aleuron.

CI_ inhibits all pigment in the aleuron.

E1:

Endosperm

P1     CCrrprpryy x ccRRprpryy

What are the phenotypes of the parents?

What is the genotype and phenotype of the F1?

What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios in the F2 offspring?

        Explain your genetic model.

Key to problems 1 and 2

Explanation / Answer

The phenotype of parents is No pigment with yellow endosperm.

The genotype of F1 CCRRprpryy, ccrrprpryy, CcRrprpryy, phenotypes are Red aleuron yellow endosperm, No pigment yellow endosperm, Red aleuron yellow endosperm.
