Question

In the common daisy, genes A and B control flower color. Both genes have a dominant allele (A or B) and a recessive allele (a or b). At least one copy of each dominant allele is required for flowers to be colorful instead of white. (Explain and Justify your answers) 

21.1)      Predict the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 progeny of a cross between two white-flowered plants, one homozygous AA and the other homozygous BB.


  1. A)   AA bb, white       
      B)   aa BB, white
      C)   Aa Bb, colorful
      D)   Aa Bb, white
      E)   aa bb, colorful
     

21.2)      Predict the phenotypic ratio of the F2 progeny of a cross between two white-flowered plants, one homozygous AA and the other homozygous BB.


  1. A)   3 colorful : 1 white         
      B)   9 colorful : 7 white
      C)   9 white : 7 colorful
      D)   15 white : 1 colorful
      E)   15 colorful : 1 white
     

21.3)      The inheritance pattern of daisy flower color provides an example of what type of gene interaction?           
            A)   additivity
            B)   recessive epistasis
            C)   reciprocal recessive epistasis
            D)   dominant epistasis
            E)   redundancy
