n camellia plants, flower color is controlled by a single gene with codominant alleles. A camellia plants with red flowers (RR) is crossed with a camellia plant with white flowers (WW). What are the expected phenotypes of the offspring of this cross?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The phenotypes of the offsprings wil be pink.

Explanation:

  • It is stated that the alleles of the gene are co-dominant.
  • Co-dominant alleles express alongside each other.
  • They do not mask the effect of each other.
  • Thus, when Camellia plants with red flowers (RR) are crossed with Camellia plants with white flowers (WW).
  • We get flowers with pink phenotypes, as pink is the colour that comes midway of red to white.
  • The genotypes of the plant will be RW.
