Question: A new mutant strain of the haploid fungus Neurospora was found. It showed erratic stop-startgrowth and was called "stopper" (Neurospora usually grows continuously). The stopper strain wascrossed to another mutant strain, which had a yellow color instead of the usual orange. The cross was done reciprocally, using each strain as either maternal or paternal parent. The results were as follows:
Cross 1: Parents= stopper, orange female X continuous, yellow male
Progeny= ! stopper orange, ! stopper yellow
Cross 2: Parents= continuous, yellow female X stopper, orange male
Progeny= ! continuous orange, ! continuous yellow
Show the genotypes and corresponding phenotypes of the parents and offspring from each cross to explain these results. If organelle inheritance is involved clearly indicate which gene is on an organelle and its role in determining the phenotypes.
