In a plant species, the following pathways contribute to seed color. The wild-type phenotype of seed color is red.

• A recessive mutation of gene A leads to white color pigment.

• A recessive mutation of gene B leads to a transparent outer layer and the color of the seed is based on the color of the endosperm.

• The two genes are present on two different chromosomes.

• Often, a yellow or white colored seed has red spots.

Based on the above information, the following statements were made:

A. The probability of getting red-colored seeds from a dihybrid cross involving two heterozygous mutants is 9/16.

B. The mutation in gene B could have been caused by a transposable element.

C. A plant producing red seeds would breed true for the seed color.
