true-breeding white and the F1 generation is all orange. He collects more data by combining an individual from this F1 orange phenotype with another true-breeding white but then discovers that the F2 generation is only half orange, with the other half white. What should he conclude about the relationship between genotype and phenotype?
For the following problem: Identify the gametes for each parent, build a Punnett Square of the probability of
offspring. Show the resulting genotype ratios and the resulting
Canvas will typically have a multiple-choice component or may be a fill-in-the-blank question related to
genotype and/or phenotype outcomes. Be prepared to address all of these details in the questions.
A plant breeder is working on producing a new color for geranium blossoms and has success in
producing orange blooms from a combination of typical red (dominant) and white (recessive)
colors. To verify the success of this phenotype he combines a true-breeding red geranium with a
true-breeding white and the F1 generation is all orange. He collects more data by combining an
individual from this F1 orange phenotype with another true-breeding white but then discovers that
the F2 generation is only half orange, with the other half white.
What should he conclude about the relationship between genotype and phenotype?
