- To study genes that create the purple flower color in peas, you isolate 4 amorphic mutations. Each results in a flower with a different color, described mutant a = blue mutant c = pink mutant b = white mutant d = red A. In tests of double mutants, you observe the following phenotypes: mutants a and b = blue mutants b and c = white mutants c and d = pink Assuming you are looking at a biosynthetic pathway, draw the pathway indicating which step is affected by each mutant.
