In a flowering plant, the a$/$a ; B$/$B genotype results in yellow flowers, and the A$/$A ; b$/$b genotype gives red flowers. Wild$-$type flowers are orange and are observed in plants with genotype A$/$A ; B$/$B$.$ Two possibilities have been proposed for the biosynthetic pathways of flower color:

$$

$1.$ yellow pigment $$ red pigment $$ orange pigment

$2.$ red pigment $$ yellow pigment $$ orange pigment

$$

Propose a genetic experiment that can determine which of the two possibilities is most likely correct, and explain how you would interpret your results.
