You are practicing geneticist who is studying flower color in sweet peas. Wild type sweet pea flowers are purple, however you obtain two different white flowered sweet pea plants from two different breeders. When you cross the plants together they produce plants with purple flowers. What can be said about the white flower alleles in the two sweet pea plants? Select ALL that apply. They occur in different genes They occur in the same gene They complement each other They do not complement each other They are epistatic. They are pleiotropic.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Complementation test is a test bin which the crossing occurs between two parents who have different mutations. The parents should be homozygous recessive for these two mutation. 

It is used to find whether mutations are in same gene or in different genes.
