4.Principles of Inheritance and Variation
normal
In which one of the following, complementary gene interaction rato of $9: 7$ is observed?
A
Fruit shape in Shepherd's purse
B
Coat colour in mouse
C
Feather colour in fowl
D
Flower colour in pea
Solution
W Bateson and R C Punnett observed complementary gene interaction for flower colour in sweet pea (Lathyrusodoratus). In complementary interaction, two separate pairs of genes interact to produce the phenotype in such a way that neither of the dominant genes is expressive unless the other one is present. In $F_{2}$ generation, complementary genes produce a ratio of $9: 7$
