Question

Kernal colour in wheat is determined by two gene pairs that produce a range of colours from white to dark red depending on the combinations of alleles.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

This is true. The color of the kernel is caused by two genes referred to as R1 and R2. Each of R2 and R1 genes are made up of two alleles. When these 2 scientists called Ehle and Nilsson did a crossing of various species of wheat, these wheat were of dark red seeds and also white seeds. It was found out that the second generation gave a domination or dark red seeds to white by 3:1
