Datura stramonium (the Jimsonweed) expresses flower colors of purple and white and pod textures of smooth and spiny. The results of two crosses in which the parents were not necessarily true breeding are shown below.Assuming that true-breeding strains of all combinations of traits are available, what single cross could you execute and carry to an F₂ generation that will prove or disprove your hypothesis? Assuming your hypothesis is correct, what results of this cross will support it?

Open Question
In a unique species of plants, flowers may be yellow, blue, red, or mauve. All colors may be true breeding. If plants with blue flowers are crossed to red-flowered plants, all F₁ plants have yellow flowers. When these produced an F₂ generation, the following ratio was observed:9/16 yellow: 3/16 blue: 3/16 red: 1/16 mauveIn still another cross using true-breeding parents, yellow-flowered plants are crossed with mauve-flowered plants. Again, all F₁ plants had yellow flowers and the F₂ showed a 9:3:3:1 ratio, as just shown.Describe the inheritance of flower color by defining gene symbols and designating which genotypes give rise to each of the four phenotypes.
