In oats, the color of the chaff is determined by a two-gene interaction. When a true-breeding black plant was crossed to a true-breeding white plant, the F 1 generation was composed of all black plants. When the F 1 offspring were crossed to each other, the ratio produced was 12 black to 3 gray to 1 white. First, construct a Punnett square that accounts for this pattern of inheritance. Which genotypes produce the gray phenotype Second, at the level of protein function, how would you explain this type of inheritance
