2) A researcher crossed a heterozygous yellow seed plant (Yy) and a recessive green seedplant (yy). Draw a Punnett Square and determine the genotype and phenotype ratios ofthe offspring.
2.In dogs, there is a hereditary deafness caused by a recessive allele, d. A kennel owner has a male dog that she wants to use for breeding purposes if possible. The dog can hear, but the owner is unsure of the genotype. She does a testcross (crosses it to a homozygous recessive dog), and two of the five offspring are deaf. This means that the male dog A.has the genotype DD B.has the genotype Dd C.is still of unknown genotype since there were offspring of both deaf and hearing phenotypes. D.has the genotype dd

3. A couple just had a baby, who has type-O blood. Upon learning the baby’s blood type, the father becomesinfuriated and accuses the mother of cheating on him. The mother has type-A blood and the father has type-Bblood. Knowing that the allele for type-O is recessive, answer the following questions.a. What is the relationship between the IA, IB, and i alleles?b. Is the father right? Or is he falsely accusing the mother? Explain. Include the genotypes of the parentsand the genotypes of their potential children.
1. In pea plants, purple flower color is dominant over white flower color. If you had a purple flowered plant, its genotype could be either PP or _______? A. Pp B. pp C. PP 2. To figure out which genotype your purple plant had, you could do a test cross and mate it with a __________ plant? A. White Flower B. Purple Flower 3. If any of the offspring were white, that would tell you that your mystery purple plant had the genotype __________? A. Pp B. PP C. pp
1. A mother with blood type A has a child with blood type O, and she claims that Mister X is the father. Mister X denies that he could possibly be the father, because he has blood type B. If you were the judge presiding over this case, which of the following arguments would you find most convincing? a. Mr. X could be the father if his blood genotype is IBIB, and the mother’s blood genotype is IAIA b. Mr. X cannot be the father because a child with blood type O cannot have a parent with blood type B c. Mr. X could be the father if his blood genotype is IBi, and the mother’s blood genotype is IAi d. Mr. X cannot be the father because a parent with blood type B cannot have a child with blood type O e. Mr. X cannot be the father because the human ABO blood types are sex-linked traits 2.

What is the phenotype of each of her parents? Genotype? b. What is the chance that the teenager has Marfan syndrome?
Design an Experiment Imagine that you are a breeder of Labrador retriever dogs. Labs can be black, chocolate brown, or yellow. Suppose that a yellow Lab is donated to you and you need to know its genotype. You have a range of dogs with known genotypes. What cross would you make to determine the genotype of the donated dog? Explain how the resulting puppies show you the Labs genotype.
A testcross is a way to determine ________. a. phenotype b. genotype c. dominance
A farmer raises black and white chickens. To his surprise, when the first generation of eggs hatch all the chickens are black with white speckles throughout their feathers. What should the farmer expect when the eggs laid after interbreeding the speckled chickens hatch? All the offspring will be speckled 75% of the offspring will be speckled, and 25% will be black 50% of the offspring will be speckled, 25% will be black, and 25% will be white 50% of the offspring will be black and 50% of the offspring will be white.
