Want to know:
In a pathway controlling flower color, a functioning copy of gene A is needed to produce enzyme A, which catalyzes the synthesis of red pigment. Without enzyme A, the flower only makes white pigment. A second gene, gene R, encodes a repressor protein that completely inhibts enzyme A. If a plant were to have a genotype AaRr, what color would the flower be?The flower would be white because the repressor protein is present and it is inhibiting enzyme AThe flower would be red because enzyme A is present and the repressor gene is brokenThe flower would be white because the genes for enzyme A and the repressor are broken

- In squash, color is determined by two genes that are epistatic. At the first gene, white squash (W) is dominant to colored squash (w). At the second gene, yellow (Y) is dominant to green (y).
