patterns of inheritance cgp

Question 1

explain why the results suggest that the genes that control seed colour and shape are autosomally linked (high proportion of coloured full and colourles shrunken)

Answer 1

there are more coloured full and colourless shrunken than expected. this suggests that the heterozygous parent plant produced mostly CS and cs gametes. The alleles are inherited together

Question 2

give 2 examples of a phenotypic trait in plants that is determined only by the environment

Answer 2

-e.g. chlorosis (where a plant doesnt produce enough chlorophyll and turns yellow) is causes by environmental factors such as lack of minerals in soil
