Acolorimeter is an instrument used for chemical analysis by comparing a liquid’s color with standard colors. in an experiment, a scientist used two calorimeters and noted the readings. the first colorimeter showed consistent readings that were five points lower than the actual reading. the second colorimeter provided readings that were the same as the actual reading. which two statements are implications of these readings?

In sweet pea, gene c is responsible for color production and gene p is responsible for the purple color pigment. both of them are located on two different loci on different chromosomes. the flowers will be purple only when the plant has the genotypes as c_p_. no color will be produced with genotypes: ccpp, ccpp, ccpp, ccpp. thus, gene c controls the expression of gene p. what pattern of inheritance is exhibited here? a. pleiotropy b. epistasis c. multiple alleles
