Given that 5 phenotypes of B, R, Y, G, and W are possible for a trait, the results of crossing parents of unknown genotypes and known phenotypes are shown below. Each percentage represents the percent of progeny with each phenotype. Similar to how the alleles A, B, and O may result in four phenotypes due to combination of codominance and dominance. What is the likely inheritance model created from a combination of different types of dominances? G x G → 100% G G x R → 50% G, 50% R G x B → 40% B, 30% R, 20% G, 10% Y G x W → 25% G, 75% R G x Y → 50% G, 50% Y R x B → 50% R, 50% B R x W → 10% B, 5% R, 50% W, 25% G, 10% Y R x Y → 60% B, 40% Y R x R → 100% R B x W → 75% W, 12.5% B, 12.5% Y B x Y → 40% B, 20% W, 40% Y B x B → 40% B, 22.5% W, 12.5% R, 22.5% Y, 7.5% G W x Y → 60% Y, 40% W W x W → 100% W Y x Y → 100% Y

Question

Given that 5 phenotypes of B, R, Y, G, and W are possible for a trait, the results of crossing parents of unknown genotypes and known phenotypes are shown below. Each percentage represents the percent of progeny with each phenotype. Similar to how the alleles A, B, and O may result in four phenotypes due to combination of codominance and dominance. What is the likely inheritance model created from a combination of different types of dominances?

 

G x G → 100% G

 

G x R → 50% G, 50% R

 

G x B → 40% B, 30% R, 20% G, 10% Y

 

G x W → 25% G, 75% R

 

G x Y → 50% G, 50% Y

 

R x B → 50% R, 50% B

 

R x W → 10% B, 5% R, 50% W, 25% G, 10% Y

 

R x Y → 60% B, 40% Y

 

R x R → 100% R

 

B x W → 75% W, 12.5% B, 12.5% Y

 

B x Y → 40% B, 20% W, 40% Y

 

B x B → 40% B, 22.5% W, 12.5% R, 22.5% Y, 7.5% G

 

W x Y → 60% Y, 40% W

 

W x W → 100% W

 

Y x Y → 100% Y
