Red Coloration in Wheat Seeds Is a Complex Trait Influenced

question 44

True/False

Red coloration in wheat seeds is a complex trait influenced by three unlinked genes, each with two different alleles A and a; B and b; C and c. This Punnett square shows the results of a mating between two plants that are both heterozygous at all three loci. The intensity of the red color phenotype is influenced by only one of the gene products.
