Mengel and Kirkby  have proposed that the essential elements be classified instead according to their biochemical role and physiological function, It shows such a classification, in which plant nutrients have been divided into some basic groups these are;

a.) The first group is nutrients that are part of carbon compounds

b.) The second group is important in energy storage reactions or in maintaining structural integrity

c.) The third group has important roles in reactions involving electron transfer or redox reaction

d.) The fourth group is present in plant tissue as either free ions or ions bound

In this problem we will explore some of the many ways that mutations in two different genes can interact to produce different Mendelian ratios. Consider a hypothetical insect species that has red eyes. Imagine mutations in two different unlinked genes that can, in certain combinations, block the formation of red eye pigment yielding mutants with white eyes. In principle, there are two different possible arrangements for two biochemical steps responsible for the formation of red eye pigment. The two genes might act in series such that a mutation in either gene would block the formation of red pigment. Alternatively, the two genes could act in parallel such that mutations in both genes would be required to block the formation of red pigment.

Further complexity arises from the possibility that mutations in either gene that lead to a block in enzymatic activity could be either dominant or recessive. If the crosses is made between a wild type insect with red eyes and a true breeding white eyed strain with mutations in both genes. Such considerations yield the Pathways in parallel with recessive mutations in both genes, determine the phenotype of the F1 progeny and the expected phenotypic ratio of red to white eyed insects in the F2.
