Which of the following do you think would cause the most detrimental phenotype?

Which of the following events is LEAST likely to occur in a cross involving epistasis by both genes?

In four o’clocks, RR plants have red flowers, Rr have pink flowers, and rr have white flowers. If r allele is a loss-of-function allele, a reasonable molecular explanation for the pink phenotype would be

True-breeding tall plants with white flowers are crossed to true-breeding dwarf plants with purple flowers. The F1 plants were tall with purple flowers. The genes that affect these traits independently assort. If the F1 plants were allowed to self-fertilize, the expected ratio of the F2 generation would be
