I am having some real difficulty with the last problem in my homework on this question.... In four-o ' clock plants the allele for the red flower colour has an efffect that is incompletly dominant over the effect of the white colour allele, If a cross between two plants produced 8 red, 32 pink and 5 white plants what are the phenotypes of the parents? Please help I tried going to an online tutor but the chat was closed :(
Genetic Problem?
let R = red
little r = white
Rr = pink
8 Red = RR
32 Pink = Rr
5 White = rr
because all the 3 different types of alleles show up, both parents have to be pink (ie. Rr)
Punnett Square of Parents:
R r
R RR Rr
r Rr rr
1 RED: 2 PINK: 1 WHITE
