1) In some species of pea plant, pea colour is determined by one pair of alleles and pea shape by another - the genes are on different chromosomes. A plant grown from a round green pea was self-pollinated. The following numbers of offspring were obtained: 95 green round, 28 white round, 30 green wrinkled, 11 white wrinkled. a) What is the ratio of the phenotypes in the offspring? b) In each pair of alleles, colour and shape, which allele is dominant and which recessive? c) what was the genotype of the parent(s)? Use a diagram to show how this explains the phenotype ratio of the offspring.

In pea plants, the "L" allele, which indicates smooth seeds, is dominant over the "l" allele, which indicates rough seeds, and the "A" allele, which indicates yellow color, is dominant over the "a" allele, which indicates green color. If a yellow smooth pure variety is crossed with a green wrinkled pure variety. • What is the genotype and phenotype of the first filial generation (F1)? • Indicate the phenotypes of the second generation (F2) and the proportion of each of them that results from the self-fertilization of F1 plants.
A mapping experiment in strawberries shows that the genes for color and plant height are separated by 16cM. In a cross between a heterozygous plant (CcHh) and a homozygous recessive plant, what percent of offspring would inherit a chromosome carrying cH from the heterozygous parent.... 1. if the heterozygous parent’s alleles are in repulsion? _________________ 2. if the heterozygous parent’s alleles are in coupling? _________________
In classical Mendelian genetics, how can one check the genotype of a parent (A) expressing the characters of a dominant allele? Select one: a. By performing a back cross with a recessive homozygote parent (B). If the A parent is homozygote for the dominant allele, then all the individuals from the F1 will display the dominant character. If the parent A was, instead, a heterozygote, then 50% of the F1 progeny will express the recessive character (homozygote recessive) and 50% the dominant one (heterozygotes). b. It is impossible to check such genotype without using specific molecular assays. c. By performing a back cross with a dominant homozygote parent (B). If the A parent is homozygote for the dominant allele, then all the individuals from the F1 will display the dominant character.
In rabbits grey hair is dominant to white & black eyes are dominant to red. -Cross 2 parents who are both heterozygous for both traits. 1st Question to answer ---- How many of the offspring could have grey hair & black eyes? 2nd Question to answer ---- How many of the offspring could have grey hair & red eyes? 3rd Question to answer ---- How many of the offspring could have white hair & black eyes? 4th Question to answer ---- How many of the offspring could have white hair & red eyes?
Do a Punnett square for a cross between a homozygous red-eyed female (XR XR ) and a white-eyed male (Xr Y). What would be the genotypes of the female F1 flies? ____ phenotype? ______ What would be the genotypes of the male F1 flies? ___ phenotype? _______ Do a Punnett square for the F2 results if one of the F1 females mated with one of the F1 males. *To show results of sex-linked traits: Divide phenotypes into males and females first, keep results as fractions (or %). List the phenotypes, with the corresponding genotype (in parentheses) next to each phenotype. Males: Females: A sex-linked trait in humans: hemophilia = blood clotting disorder. Normal clotting (XN) is dominant to hemophilia (Xn). Do a Punnett square for a normal clotting (homozygous dominant) woman and a man with hemophilia.
What are the possible phenotypes of the offspring of a short (recessive) pea plant with axial flowers (dominant heterozygous) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous) with terminal flowers. If 100 pea plants are produced, how many would have each of the possible phenotypes?
In flies, assume black (B) is dominant and green (b) is recessive for abdomen color, and straight (S) is dominant and bent (s) is recessive for antenna shape. Assume also that these genes are found on the same chromosome. If single mutants for each of these genes (green abdomen x bent antenna) are crossed with one another, and you then testcross the resulting offspring, you get the following numbers of each phenotype: black, straight 17 green, bent 12 black, bent 337 green, straight 364 What is the map distance between B and S? You must show and clearly label ALL work
In Drosophila, a cross was made between a yellow-bodied male with vestigial wings and a wild-type (WT) female(brown body and normal wings). The F1 generation consisted of WT males and WT females. The F1 males and females were crossed, and the F2 progeny consisted of 16 yellow males with vestigial wings, 48 yellow males with WT wings, 15 brown males with vestigial wings, 49 WT males, 31 brown females with vestigial wings, and 97 WT females. Based on these results, explain the inheritance of the two genes (i.e. autosomal or sex-linked, dominant or recessive).
Let us suppose that two long-winged flies were crossed and that 77 long-winged and 24 short-winged specimens were counted in the offspring. a. Will the short-winged character be dominant or recessive?B. What will the genotypes of the parents be?C. What is the observed genotype ratio?
In jellyfish, let's say that long tentacles are produced by a sex-influenced allele that is dominant in males and recessive in females. Let B1 = long and B2 = short. Which of the following correctly diagrams a cross between a female with long tentacles and a male with short tentacles? O B1B1XX X B1B2XY O B1B2 XX X B1B2 XY O females with long tentacles do not exist, so this cross is impossible O B1B1 XX X B2B2 XY O X(B1) X(B2) x X(B2) Y
In snapdragons, red flower color (R) is incompletely dominant over white flower color (r), so that the heterozygote has pink flowers. A red snapdragon is crossed with a white snapdragon, and the F1 are intercrossed to produce F2. What is the genotype and phenotypes of the F1 and F2, along with their expected proportions? If the F1 are backcrossed to the white parent, what will be the expected genotype and phenotype of the offspring? If the F1 are backcrossed to the red parent and the resulting progeny are intercrossed, what is the expected proportions of genotypes and phenotypes in the progeny?
In tomatoes, red fruit is dominant to yellow fruit, and purple stems are dominant to green stems. Thegenes encoding these traits are on different homologous chromosomes. The progeny from a matingconsisted of 305 red fruit, purple stem plants; 328 red fruit, green stem plants; 110 yellow fruit,purple stem plants; and 97 yellow fruit, green stem plants. What would be the genotypic and phenotypic outcome if each parent was self-fertilized?
