Question

44

In questions 42 to 44, you have two true-breeding strains of pea plants with white
flowers. Crossing these two strains yields an F1 generation that only has purple
flowers. Self-crossing these purple flowered plants yields the following ratio of
progeny with purple and white flowers: 9 purple: 7 white.
42. How many genes in this cross are involved in determining flower color?
A. 0
В. 1
С. 2
D. 3
Е. 4
43. What fraction of the purple-flowered F2 progeny do you expect to produce only
purple progeny when self crossed?
