Step 1: Identify the alleles and their corresponding phenotypes. The problem states that red flower color is represented by 'W' and white flower color by 'w'. It also states that the heterozygous plant (Ww) is pink flowered. This indicates incomplete dominance. Phenotypes and Genotypes: • Red flower: WW • Pink flower: Ww • White flower: ww a) What will be the flower colour of the F$_1$ generation? The cross is between a red flowered plant and a white flowered plant. Parental (P) genotypes: Red (WW) $\times$ White (ww) To find the F$_1$ genotypes, we cross the parental genotypes: $$ \text{P: WW} \times \text{ww} $$ Gametes from WW: W Gametes from ww: w $$ \text{F}_1: \text{Ww} $$ All F$_1$ individuals will have the genotype Ww. According to the problem, Ww results in a pink flower color. The flower colour of the F$_1$ generation will be: $\boxed{\text{Pink}}$ b) What will be the flower colour of the F$_2$ generation after selfing F$_1$? The F$_1$ generation consists of pink flowered plants (Ww). Selfing F$_1$ means crossing F$_1$ individuals with each other: Ww $\times$ Ww. Step 1: Perform the F$_1$ self-cross (Ww $\times$ Ww). We can use a Punnett square: | | W | w | |-------|-------|-------| | W | WW | Ww | | w | Ww | ww | Step 2: Determine the genotypes and corresponding phenotypes for the F$_2$ generation. From the Punnett square, the F$_2$ genotypes are: • 1 WW • 2 Ww • 1 ww Now, match these genotypes to their phenotypes: • WW: Red flower • Ww: Pink flower • ww: White flower So, the F$_2$ generation will have: • 1 Red flowered plant • 2 Pink flowered plants • 1 White flowered plant The flower colours of the F$_2$ generation will be: $\boxed{\text{Red, Pink, and White}}$ That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
