3) Researchers discovered that Primula Petal flower color can be controlled by two genes, which control the production of a pigment called malvidin (creating blue-colored flowers). If malvidin is not produced, flowers will be white.A homozygous dominant white-flowered plant crosses with a recessive white-flowered plant. All F1 plants are white-flowered. Then in F1xF1, both white-flowered and blue-flowered plants are produced. Include a brief background of the particular neo-Mendelian phenomenon.
Q1) Explain what are the roles of the two genes, and what is the ratio of F2 phenotype.
Q2)If the question is related to a real-life example in nature, you should explain what the phenotypes are you looking at, and the explanation of how the phenotypes are affected by the gene interaction.
Q3.Why does it deviate from the normal Mendelian ratios?
