Answer letter D only

In an autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis L.), the gene controlling stigma color is very
near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominant to g for
red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous red autotetraploid
strain.
a. What is the genotype of the F,?
b. Show the types of gametes the F.'s may be expected to form and derive the expected proportion
of each.
c. What phenotypic ratio of green to red is expected if:
The Fi's are intercrossed?
i.
ii.
The F,'s are crossed with red plants
d. If the G locus were 50 or more map units from the centromere, what types and proportions of
gametes would the F1 be expected to produce? Derive the expected F2 phenotypic ratio.
