One had red flowers, on yellow flowers, and one white flowers. She determined that flower color was controlled by three alleles at a single gene. Red was found to be codominant with yellow, and both alleles dominant to white. Some of the crosses she made and the resulting progeny are listed below: Progeny All red Cross Red (selfed) Yellow (selfed) White (selfed) Red x yellow Yellow x white Red x white Orange (selfed) 1 red: 2 orange: 1 yellow a.
