E. W. Lindstrom crossed two corn plants with green seedlings and obtained the following progeny: 3583 green seedlings, 853 virescent-white seedlings, and 260 yellow seedlings (E. W. Lindstrom. 1921. Genetics 6:91–110). a. Give the genotypes for the green, virescent-white, and yellow progeny. b. Explain how color is determined in these seedlings. c. Is there epistasis among the genes that determine color in the corn seedlings? If so, which gene is epistatic and which is hypostatic

Tatuo Aida investigated the genetic basis of color variation in the Medaka (Aplocheilus latipes), a small fish found naturally in Japan (T. Aida. 1921. Genetics 6:554–573). Aida found that genes at two loci (B, b and R, r) determine the color of the fish: fish with a dominant allele at both loci (B_R_) are brown, fish with a dominant allele at the B locus only (B_ rr) are blue, fish with a dominant allele at the R locus only (bb R_) are red, and fish with recessive alleles at both loci (bb rr) are white. Aida crossed a homozygous brown fish with a homozygous white fish. He then backcrossed the F1 with the homozygous white parent and obtained 228 brown fish, 230 blue fish, 237 red fish, and 222 white fish. a. Give the genotypes of the backcross progeny. b. Use a chi-square test to compare the observed numbers of backcross progeny with the number expected. What conclusion can you make from your chi-square results? c. What results would you expect for a cross between a homozygous red fish and a white fish? d. What results would you expect if you crossed a homozygous red fish with a homozygous blue fish and then backcrossed the F1 with a homozygous red parental fish?
