Question

In camellia plants, flower color is controlled by a single gene with codominant alleles. A camellia plants with red flowers (RR) is crossed with a camellia plant with white flowers (WW). What are the expected phenotypes of the offspring of this cross?

Answer 1

Answer:

All the offspring will be same with hybrid phenotype i.e. red and white patch flowers.

Codominance is a condition in which both the alleles of a gene are expressed in an organism.

The best example could be the blood groups of human beings. In a person with blood group AB, both the alleles ($I^{A}\text{ and }I^{B}$) are expressed completely independent of each other.

Similarly, in camellia plant, allele R and allele W will express themselves independent of each other. Due to this, in heterozygous condition (RW) the phenotype appears as hybrid i.e. presence of red and white patched flowers.

Answer 2

Camellia plant, flow color is controlled by the single gene with codominant alleles and also camellia plant with red flower which is crossed with the camellia plant with flower.

It is one of the genue of flowering plant and it come in the family they can founded in the part of the eastern and southern part of the asia and other Himalayas.
