In corn, purple kernels are dominant to red kernels. However, if alleles for another gene are both recessive, the kernel is neither purple nor red regardless of the alleles at that gene.
In corn, purple kernels are dominant to red kernels. However, if alleles for another gene are both recessive, the kernel is neither purple nor red regardless of the alleles at that gene. So instead of producing the standard 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio for the interaction of two genes, a ratio of 9 purple : 4 colorless : 3 red is produced. For ten points, name the type of gene interaction that this is an example of, which is defined as a condition when a gene at one locus affects the expression of a gene at another locus.
