The relationship between the allele P and p. Introduction: The allele is the form of a single gene present in an organism. The different combination of the alleles determines the genotype and phenotype of the organism. The allele can be of two types dominant or recessive. The dominant allele has a property to mask the effect of the recessive allele in heterozygote condition.

In zucchinis there are two genes controlling flower colour. One gene determines if pigment is produced or not (P = pigment, p = no pigment) and another gene controls the colour of the pigment (O = orange, o=yellow). Which of the following genotypes will produce Orange flowers? a) Pp Oo & PP OO b) pp Oo & pp 00 O c) pp oo & Pp oo & PP oo

Two different genes control the expression of kernel colour in Mexican black corn: black pigment gene B and dotted pigment gene D. Gene B influences the expression of gene D. The dotted phenotype appears only when gene B is in the homozygous recessive state. A colourless variation occurs when both genes are homozygous recessive. What would be the phenotypic ratio of a test cross with a plant heterozygous for both traits? Your response must include a Punnett square with appropriate nomenclature. Show the ratio as whole numbers in their lowest form and their corresponding phenotypes.

1) In the plant Salvia, two genes determine the inheritance of flower colour. For one gene, P is the allele for purple colour and p for pink. However, at least one dominant allele at the other locus is required for the colour to be expressed, Plants with the genotype aa have white flowers. Write down all possible genotypes for a) purple flowered b) pink flowered c) white flowers d) which gene, A/a or P/p is the epistatic gene and which is the hypostatic gene? e) What type of epistasis is this?
