5. In corn, kernel color is controlled by Gene K, with the dominant K allele producing colorful kernels and the recessive k allele producing colorless kernels. Likewise, plant color is controlled by Gene P, with the dominant Pallele producing green plants and the recessive p allele producing yellow plants. Suppose you cross a heterozygous corn plant with a homozygous recessive corn plant. a. Write the genotypes of the parents in the cross. b. Write the possible gametes produced by the heterozygous parent. c. Write the possible gametes produced by the homozygous parent. d. Fill in the following table: Possible heterozygote gametes Possible offspring phenotypes Possible offspring genotypes (if crossed to homozygous recessive)

5. In corn, kernel color is controlled by Gene K, with the dominant K allele producing colorful
kernels and the recessive k allele producing colorless kernels. Likewise, plant color is controlled
by Gene P, with the dominant Pallele producing green plants and the recessive p allele

recessive corn plant.
a. Write the genotypes of the parents in the cross.
b. Write the possible gametes produced by the heterozygous parent.
c. Write the possible gametes produced by the homozygous parent.
d. Fill in the following table:
Possible heterozygote gametes
Possible offspring genotypes
(if crossed to homozygous
recessive)
Possible offspring phenotypes
