The purpose of the Genetics section of Aipotu is to explore the different genotypes and phenotypes of the flowers and their relationships to one another. From completing the Genetics section of Aipotu, we will have discovered all of the possible flower alleles and phenotypes and which alleles are dominant, recessive, or codominant to one another.

It was determined that no true-breeding purple flower could exist without genetic mutation of the proteins responsible for color. Without mutation, purple flowers are the result of having one copy of a blue color allele and one copy of a red color allele. Because one of each of red and blue are required for a purple flower, there can not be true-breeding purple flowers unless the genetics of the flower are changed. If a color-inducing protein was mutated to produce a purple hue, then a true-breeding purple flower could possibly exist, as both copies of a flower's color-determining genes could code for a purple color.

Aipotu Genetics

Purpose

The purpose of the Genetics section of Aipotu is to explore the different genotypes and phenotypes of the flowers and their relationships to one another. From completing the Genetics section of Aipotu, we will have discovered all of the possible flower alleles and phenotypes and which alleles are dominant, recessive, or codominant to one another.

Combined Methods/Results

Directions from Part I: Genetics were followed. Part II: Genetics - Mutation was attempted, but all attempts to mutate to a purple color protein were unsuccessful. Significant crosses, tables, and notes were recorded. As each color flower was created, it was added to the greenhouse. As each true-breeding flower of a new color was created, they were added to the greenhouse and labeled to indicate their true-breeding genetics.

Conclusion

It was determined that no true-breeding purple flower could exist without genetic mutation of the proteins responsible for color. Without mutation, purple flowers are the result of having one copy of a blue color allele and one copy of a red color allele. Because one of each of red and blue are required for a purple flower, there can not be true-breeding purple flowers unless the genetics of the flower are changed. If a color-inducing protein was mutated to produce a purple hue, then a true-breeding purple flower could possibly exist, as both copies of a flower's color-determining genes could code for a purple color.

Acknowledgments

I worked on the Genetics section of Aipotu with my homework partner Andrew Sandler in-person during the Monday 1:45-3:00 PM class period. We worked separately to discover the flower colors and came back together to work with our professor Dr. Kam Dahlquist to determine the dominance relationships between the genotypes that Andrew and I discovered.
