Jack-O-Lantern Inheritance Biology I

This group of organisms is the F2 generation of a penta-hybrid cross involving unlinked traits. Your task as a class is to determine: 1. what the five variable characters are; 2. the pattern of inheritance demonstrated by each character; 3. the probable genotype the produces each phenotype.

Choose from this list of inheritance patterns: Simple dominant/recessive Incomplete dominance Codominance Sex-linked inheritance Epistasis, with one gene masking another

Your written lab assignment is to be completed on your own and is due at the end of lab today: 1. Draw the true-breeding parents that produced this F2 generation (the grandparents of the F2 offspring). Yes Im asking you to sketch the phenotype of the parents. 2. Assign alleles for each trait and give the genotypes of the parents.
