4) Consider the production of flower color in the Japanese morning glory (Pharbitis nil). Dominant alleles of either of two separate genes (A_bb or aaB_) produce purple petals, A_B_ produces blue petals, and homozygous recessives for both genes produce scarlet petals. Deduce the genotypes of parents and progeny in the following crosses: (Tabulate your answers). PARENTS a) blue x scarlet b) purple x scarlet PROGENY 1/4 blue: 1/2 purple : 1/4 scarlet 1/2 purple: 1/2 scarlet
