In a wildflower species, flowers occur in three colors: orange, red, and white. The color is determined by two genes that are independently assorting. The genotype that
produces white must include T_. The presence of twot alleles allows orange or red flowers to occur. The alleles at the hypostatic locus are R (red) and r (orange).
A pure-breeding orange plant is mated with a pure-breeding white plant to produce F1 plants. When the F1 plants self-pollinate to produce the F2 generation, the F2 plants
occur in the ratio 12 white: 3 red: 1 orange.
Part a) What are the genotypes of the pure breeding orange plant and pure-breeding white plant?
Part b) What is the genotype and phenotype of the F1 plants?
Part c) What is/are the genotype(s) of the red F2 plants?
Part d) Is this an example of dominant or recessive epistasis? Explain.
