13. Imagine that a plant with red flowers is bred to one with white flowers and when they make fruits, the seeds are collected and grown into new plants. The new plants, when old enough, have only pink flowers. Which plants are the parental generation? Which are the first filial generation? If the pink-flowered plants are interbred with each other and the resulting seeds planted, what would that generation be called? 14. Assume the plants in Question 13 are like those in Figure 16-9. What is the genotype of the plants with red flowers? Those with white flowers? Those with pink flowers? When a plant with red flowers makes pollen grains, will they all carry the Rallele? Will any carry the r allele? Or will half have R and half have r? Will any of the pollen grains be Rr? Explain your answer.

1)A researcher crossed a homozygous yellow seed plant (YY) and a heterozygous yellowseed plant (Yy). Draw a Punnett Square and determine the genotype and phenotyperatios of the offspring. please explain it simple and no copypastes thanks
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
Nine-banded armadillos almost always give birth to four offspringthat are genetically identical quadruplets. Explain how you thinkthis happens.
In a homozygous plant round seeds ( R) are dominant over wrinkled seeds ( r): Draw a Punnett square to show gametes and offspring when both the plants have heterozygous round seeds (Rr).
3. The inheritance of petal color in some plant species is alleged to be codominant. A group of pure (homozygous) white carnations were deliberately pollinated with pollen from pure red carnations. Fertilized seeds were collected, and after germination and growth of this F1 generation, they were allowed to freely pollinate one another. The color of the flower on each plant in the F2 generation was tallied. 239 red, 307 white, and 615 pink plants were recorded. Apply a ?2 analysis to determine the statistical validity of the assumed inheritance pattern. Show every step in your thought process along with all relevant calculations and written support. HINT: For this problem, you should DEFINITELY construct the two Punnett squares to reveal the phenotypes of the F1 and F2 generations. Please answer very soon will give rating surely
3. You perform a cross between two true-breedingstrains of zucchini. One has green fruit and the otherhas yellow fruit. The F1 plants are all green, butwhen these are crossed, the F2 plants consist of9 green : 7 yellow.a. Explain this result. What were the genotypes of thetwo parental strains?b. Indicate the phenotypes, with frequencies, of theprogeny of a testcross of the F1 plants.c. Describe the epistasis interactions observed.d. Suppose that the dominant alleles specify functional enzymes, and the recessive alleles are nonfunctional. Propose a biochemical pathway thatcould explain the gene interactions.e. Is it possible to cross two different pure-breedingyellow zucchini strains and obtain all green progeny? What would be the genotypes of the parentsand progeny? f. Assuming that wild-type zucchini are green, howwould you describe the phenomenon that occurredin the F1 of part (e)?
5. You are handed a mystery pea plant with tall stems and axial flowers and asked to determine its genotype as quickly as possible. You know that the allele for tall stems (T) i dominant to that of the dwarf stems (t) and that allele for axial flowers (A) is dominant to that for terminal flowers (a). (a) What are all the possible genotypes of your mystery plant? (b) Describe the one cross you would do, out of your gardens, to determine the exact genotype of your mystery plant. (c ) While waiting for the results of your cross, you predict the result of each possible genotype listed in part a. How do you do this? Why is this not called "performing a cross"? (d) Explain how the results of your cross and your predictions will help you learn the genotype of your mystery plant.
