4. Summer squash color depends on the interaction between two genes. One gene (B) inhibits the production of color at another gene (A). If the production of color is not inhibited, then big “A” will produce yellow pigment, while little “a” produces green. Two white squash plants that are heterozygous for both genes are crossed. a. What type of inheritance is this? b. Complete the cross above. Identify what genotypes are white, yellow, and green. Include the expected phenotypic ratio (white:yellow:green).

1. While hiking your find a wild growing pea plant with purple flowers. You know that purple pea flowers are dominant to white pea flowers, but from looking at the plant, you cannot be certain if it is homozygous dominant or heterozygous. Explain the cross you could set up to determine the genotype of the wild pea plant and which results would indicate it is heterozygous versus homozygous. 2. Using skin color as an example of a multifactorial trait, explain why skin color produces a wide range of possible phenotypes within the human population.

A tall plant with smooth seeds was backcrossed to a parent that was short and wrinkled. What proportion of the progeny is expected to be heterozygous for tall and smooth? 2.
