A certain species of morning glories produces flowers that are blue, red, or purple. Two pure-breeding purple lines are crossed and produce F1 progeny that all make blue flowers. The F1 are allowed to self and produce 320 F2 progeny with the following distribution: 185 blue, 115 purple, and 20 red. Which the following is NOT consistent with this information? A) Red-flowering plants are homozygous recessive for both genes. B) The pure-breeding parental parents are homozygous recessive for mutations in two different genes. C) Dominant gene interaction appears to result in a 9:6:1 ratio. D) Blue-flowering plants are either A_bb or aaB_. E) Analysis of the F1 and F2 progeny phenotypes suggests epistasis.
