Colored aleurone in the kernels of corn is due to the dominant allele R. The recessive allele r, when homozygous, produces colorless aleurone. The plant color (not kernel color) is controlled by another gene with two alleles, Y and y. The dominant Y allele results in green color, whereas the homozygous presence of the recessive y allele causes the plant to appear yellow. In a testcross between a plant of unknown genotype and phenotype and a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits, the following progeny were obtained: colored, green 88colored, yellow 12colorless, green 8colorless, yellow 92Explain how these results were obtained by determining theexact genotype and phenotype of the unknown plant, including the precise association of the two genes on the homologs (i.e., the arrangement).
