Vg-1 and wnt are used in both frogs and chicks to establish a body axis, although in chicks this is the antero-posterior axis instead of the dorso-ventral axis. What is the region of the chick embryo that is thus analogous to the Nieuwkoop center?

Two non allelic gene P and Q governed  Glume color in sorghum.

P= blakish purple          

Q = raddish purple (dependent over P gene )

If heterozygous Raddish purple were cross with homozygous brown color .What are phenotypic ratio of  progeny?
