Suppose that a compound attractive to pollinators is produced by a plant in a pathway encoded by genes one (O) and two (T). You have obtained two pure lines of plants, one that produces the compound and one that does not (OOTT and oott, respectively). You cross them to obtain F1 plants that are heterozygous at both loci. (a) Use a branch diagram to visualize the possible outcomes of a cross between two F1 plants. (b) Calculate the expected proportion of offspring that will produce the attractant if this is a case of duplicate recessive epistasis. (c) What is the expected proportion of offspring that will produce attractant if this is a case of duplicate dominance?

Question

Suppose that a compound attractive to pollinators is produced by a plant in a pathway encoded by genes one (O) and two (T). You have obtained two pure lines of plants, one that produces the compound and one that does not (OOTT and oott, respectively). You cross them to obtain F1 plants that are heterozygous at both loci.

(a) Use a branch diagram to visualize the possible outcomes of a cross between two F1 plants.

(b) Calculate the expected proportion of offspring that will produce the attractant if this is a case of duplicate recessive epistasis.

(c) What is the expected proportion of offspring that will produce attractant if this is a case of duplicate dominance?
