Red coloration in wheat seeds is a complex trait influenced by three unlinked genes, each with two different alleles A and a; B and b; C and c. This Punnett square shows the results of a mating between two plants that are both heterozygous at all three loci. The gene products from the dominant genes are additive in their influence on the red coloration.
