    In a certain plant species, inheritance of fruit size is controlled by four genes, each of which has two alleles that show incomplete dominance and each of which contributes equally to an individual’s phenotype. Plants with the largest fruits have the genotype AABBCCDD, while those with the smallest fruits have the genotype aabbccdd. a) How many possible genotypes for fruit size are there in this species? b) Based on genotype alone (ignoring environmental factors), how many possible phenotypes for fruit...

    Two independently assorting genes help determine fruit color in squash. At the first locus, the W allele codes for a dominant white phenotype, whereas the w allele allows colored squash. At the second locus, the allele Y codes for a dominant yellow phenotype, and the allele y codes for a recessive green phenotype. The interaction between these two genes is an example of dominant epistasis, with the W locus acting as the epistatic locus and the Y locus acting as...

    please answer two question below thankyou e) 9; 9 3. In another plant species, the presence and type of hairs on the plant are controlled by epistatic interaction between two independently assorting genes. Gene C determines whether the plant has hairs (dominant) or not (recessive); Rene D determines whether the hairs are straight (dominant) or curly (recessive). In a cross between a straight-haired plant and a curly- haired plant, 1/4 of the offspring have no hairs. 3/8 have straight hairs,...
