Phenotypic ratio: 1:4:6:4:1
Punnett square: Below in the explanation box
Frequency distribution: In the attached files
Explanation:
<u>Available data</u>:
- The kernel color in wheat is a continuous trait determined by two additive diallelic genes
- The red kernels are determined by two genes and two dominant alleles (R1R1R2R2)
- The white kernels are determined by two recessive alleles at the same two genes (r1r1r2r2)
- R1 and R2 alleles are dominant over r1 and r2, respectively
1st Cross: a true-breeding red plant with a true-breeding white plant
Parentals) R1R1R2R2 x r1r1r2r2
Gametes) R1R2, R1R2, R1R2, R1R2
r1r2, r1r2, r1r2, r1r2
F1) 100% R1r1R2r2
2nd Cross: F1 progeny are selfed
Parentals) R1r1R2r2 x R1r1R2r2
Gametes) R1R2, R1r2, r1R2, r1r2

F2) Genotype:
- 1/16 R1R1R2R2 (dark red)
- 2/16 R1R1R2r2 (red)
- 1/16 R1R1r2r2 (light red)
- 2/16 R1r1R2R2 (red)
- 4/16 R1r1R2r2 (light red)
- 2/16 R1r1r2r2 (very light red)
- 1/16 r1r1R2R2 (light red)
- 2/16r1r1R2r2 (very light red)
- 1/16 r1r1r2r2 (white)
Phenotype:
- 1/16 R1 R1 R2R2, dark red phenotype
- 4/16 R1r1R2R2 + R1R1Rr2, red phenotype
- 6/16 R1r1 R2r2 + r1r1R2R2 + R1R1r2r2, light red phenotype
- 4/16 R1r1 r2r2 + r1r1R2r2, very light red phenotype
- 1/16 r1r1r2r2, White phenotype phenotype
