What type of inheritance is illustrated in this cross? (2 points)

Explanation / Answer

Here the ratio of the progeny of F2 generation is nearly 9:6:1 which is the case of polymeric gene interaction in which Two dominant alleles have a similar effect when they are separate but produce an enhanced effect when they come together. The joint effect of two alleles appears to be additive or cumulative, but each of the two genes shows complete dominance, hence they cannot be considered as additive genes. In case of additive effect, genes show lack of dominance.

considering if when two dominant genes are B and P are together they produce brown color when they are separate they produce white color and its recessive part will produce pearl color in own.

which means, individual with BBPP, BBPp, BbPp andBbPP will produce a brown color, BBpp, Bbpp, bbPP, and bbPp will produce white color and bbpp will produce pearl color

a) therefore, the genotype of Parent owl will be

brown color owl = BBPP and Perl color owl = bbpp

b) genotype of F1 owl will be = BbPp

c) Genotype and phenotype of F2 generation owl will be

for brown color phenotype, genotype will be BBPP, BBPp, BbPp, and BbPP

for white color phenotype, genotype will be BBpp,Bbpp, bbPP and bbPp

for perl colour phenotype , genotype will be bbpp

d) As i said earlier its a polymeric gene interaction.
