A red flowered plant was crossed with a blue flowered plant and produced all purple flowered plants. When the purple flowered plants were crossed with each other they produced 5 red plants, 5 blue plants, 20 deep purple plants, 20 light lilac plants, and 30 purple plants How many genes are involved in the color production? Assume that red color is caused by an A allele and blue color by a B allele and determine the likely genotype of the plants in the F2 generation
