I've been trying to follow the blue rose path from this genetics doc since v1.
I've got purple x seed yellow and purple x hybrid white, supposedly at least, and one of these crosses keeps giving me pink roses. HOW!?
seed yellow: rr-YY-WW-ss
hybrid yellow: rr-YY-Ww-ss
seed white: rr-yy-Ww-ss
hybrid white: rr-Yy-Ww-ss
purple: rr-yy-ww-ss
hybrid purple: rr-Yy-WW-ss
pink: R*-yy-**-S*
So my crosses are supposedly:
yellow x purple: rr-YY-WW-ss x rr-yy-ww-ss
white x purple: rr-Yy-Ww-ss x rr-yy-ww-ss
HOW am I getting R*-yy-**-S*? Where is the R gene coming from? How is it possible? If my yellows carried a dominant R gene, they'd be orange! Which flower is not what I assume it to be: the purple, the white, or the yellow? I'm tearin my hair out and howlin at the moon, please help.
