Yellow spotted coloration in certain plants show up randomly distributed in offspring, no matter what parental crosses are made. There is also a random distribution of trait between male and female plants. Assuming that one gene is responsible for the trait, which statement could be true about this gene?

@Rushwr  Can you help me with this one?

fifib · Answer

The fact that they say it is a trait I'm thinking it could be A and sex linked

fifib · Answer

But I doubt myself since it talks about coloration

rushwr · Answer

yeah that's what I'm also thinking !

fifib · Answer

A? @Rushwr

rushwr · Answer

I was wondering if it is B ? Cuz it says that no matter who the parent was

rushwr · Answer

not sure just give me some more time to think !

fifib · Answer

Alright

fifib · Answer

I found the answer, it's B

rushwr · Answer

My answer would be B. I'm not 100% sure ! I have never ever come cross this type of a question. What I was thinking : Can you remember the yellow coloration occur in plants when we keep the plant closed not allowing the sunlight to penetrate ? (the photosynthesis practical ? ) So that was because of the chloroplast right ? SO I'm thinking B ?
