In a genetic cross between plants bearing violet flowers and greésiseeds (VVGG), and white flower and yellow seeds ( vvg ), the following phenotypic distribution was obtained in the F2 progeny (assume both parents to be pure breeding for both the traits, and self-cross at F1 generation):
i) 2340 plants with violet flowers and green seeds
ii) 47 plants with violet flowers and yellow seeds
iii) 43 plants with white flowers and green seeds
iv) 770 plants with white flowers and yellow seeds
1
Same genes control both flower and seed colors
2
Genes for flower and seed colors are genetically interacting
3
Genes for flower and seed colors are present on the same chromosome
4
Flower color in this plant species is a polygenic trait
