Revision as of 13:42, 11 September 2019

How many different alleles are there? Which colors do they produce?

Alleles Color
CwCw white
CyCy yellow
CgCg green
CbCb blue
CrCr red

Which are dominant and which are recessive?

Dominant- Blue, Red, Green Recessive- Yellow, White

How do the colors combine to produce an overall color? For this, it may help to make a genotype-phenotype table and then try to abstract rules from that. You should be sure that you have tried all the possible combinations of the alleles you found in part (a).

Genotype Phyenotype
CgCr black
CbCr purple
CyCr orange
CwCw white
CyCy yellow
CgCg green
CbCb blue
CrCr red

Using the symbols you have developed, give the genotypes of the four starting organisms.

Organism Genotype
Green-1 CgCg
Green-2 CgCr
Red CrCw
White CwCw

Using this knowledge, construct a purple flower.

Cross Green-2 and Red

Can you construct a pure-breeding purple flower with the starting set of organisms?

No because purple occurs due to red and blue co-dominance.
