In onions, presence of gene C causes production of an enzyme which catalyzes the production of bulb-color pigment. Gene K prevents this enzyme from functioning, thus preventing enzyme production. The two genes are inherited independently. A true breeding colored variety is crossed with a white one of genotype ccKK. (a) what are the expected
In onions, presence of gene C causes production of an enzyme which catalyzes the

colored variety is crossed with a white one of genotype ccKK. (a) what are the expected
genes C and K controls the specific color for bulbs, R giving red and r, yellow bulbs. If the
true-breeding colored variety are homozygous for R and the white ones homozygous for r,
what would be the phenotypic ratios in the F1 and F2 of the above cross?
