- Suppose a plant breeder is interested in growing flowers with white variegated leaves. She reads that the gene controlling the white variegation trait is carried on the chloroplast DNA and shows maternal effect.

What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring?arrow_forwardTwo different genes control the expression of kernel colour in Mexican black corn: black pigment gene B and dotted pigment gene D. Gene B influences the expression of gene D. The dotted phenotype appears only when gene B is in the homozygous recessive state. A colourless variation occurs when both genes are homozygous recessive. What would be the phenotypic ratio of a test cross with a plant heterozygous for both traits? Your response must include a Punnett square with appropriate nomenclature. Show the ratio as whole numbers in their lowest form and their corresponding phenotypes.arrow_forward
