  1. 9A_B_:3aaB_:3A_bb:1aabb   (3/4)A_+1/4aa) (3/4B_+1/4bb)
    Due to two loci segregating for two different traits which are not linked with dominance gene action at each loci.

  2. 9 purple:7white ratio is due to complementary epistasis with dominance gene action at each locus and genes at two unlinked loci interacting to influence a single trait.

  3. 15 purple:1 white ratio is due to duplicate epistasis with dominance gene action at each locus and genes at two unlinked loci interacting to influence a single trait.

  4. (1/2A+1/2a) = 1/4 AA + 1/4Aa + 1/4aA + 1/4aa
    (1/2A+1/2a)2 = 1/4 AA + 1/2 Aa + 1/4aa
    This is an array of zygotes formed by gametes uniting.  We are expanding a gametic array to derive the proportions of zygotes.

  5. (1/2Aa + 1/2aa) = 1/4 (two Aa)
    (1/2Aa + 1/2aa)2 +1/2(one Aa and one aa)
    (1/2Aa + 1/2aa)2
    + 1/4 (two aa)
    This is an array of families with two offspring formed by expanding a zygotic array to derive the proportions of each type of family.
