In the common daisy, the genes A/a and B/b represent two pairs of alleles acting on flower color. A and
B are required for color. The alleles of these two genes show recessive epistasis. The two gene pairs
together thus show duplicate recessive epistasis.

AAbb, colorless
B.
aaBB, colorless
C.
AaBb, colored
D.
AaBb, colorless
E.
aabb, colored

3 colored : 1 colorless
B.
9 colored : 7 colorless
C.
9 colorless : 7 colored
D.
15 colorless : 1 colored
E.
15 colored : 1 colorless
19.
A certain disease is caused by homozygosity of the g allele (G is the corresponding wild-type allele).

21.
In some plants, a purple pigment is synthesized from a colorless precursor. In a cross between two
parental plants, one purple and the other colorless, an F1 generation was produced that was all purple. The
F2 produced from the F1 had 775 purple, 200 red and 65 colorless plants. What mode of inheritance and
phenotypic ratio do these results suggest?

C.
Codominance, 1:2:1 phenotype ratio
D.
Recessive epistasis, 9:3:4 phenotype ratio
