In clover plants, the pattern on the leaves is determined by a single gene with multiple alleles that are related in a dominance series. The gene is not pleiotropic. Seven different alleles of this gene are known; an allele that determines the absence of a pattern is recessive to the other six alleles, each of which produces a different pattern All heterozygous combinations of alleles show complete dominance
a. How many different kinds of leaf patterns (including the absence of a pattern) are possible in a population of clover plants in which all seven alleles are represented? phenotype that could be represented by only a single genotype? you can identify a few plants representative of all possible pattern types. Explain this finding.
b. What is the largest number of different genotypes that could be associated with any one phenotype? Is there any
c. In a particular field, you find that the large majority of clover plants lack a pattern on their leaves, even though you can identify a few plants representative of all possible pattern types.explain this finding
