2. In four-o’clocks, the allele for red flowers is incompletely dominant to the allele for white flowers, soheterozygotes have pink flowers. What ratios offlower colors would you expect among the offspringof the following crosses: (a) pink × pink, (b) white ×pink, (c) red × red, (d) red × pink, (e) white × white,and (f) red × white? If you specifically wanted to produce pink flowers, which of these crosses would bemost efficient?
Ch. 13-1 Mendel crossed a true-breeding pea plant with green pods and a true-breeding pea plant with yellow pods. All the F1 plants had green pods. Which color is recessive?
Ch. 13-8 In sweet pea plants, an allele for purple flowers (P) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for red flowers (p). An allele for long pollen grains (L) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for round pollen grains (l). Bateson and Punnett crossed a plant having purple flowers and long pollen grains with one having white flowers and round pollen grains.All F1 offspring have purple flowers and long pollen grains. Among the F2 generation, the researchers observed the following phenotypes:296 purple flowers/long pollen grains19 purple flowers/round pollen grains27 red flowers/long pollen grains85 red flowers/round pollen grainsWhat is the best explanation for these results?
Mendel performs a cross using a true-breeding pea plant with round, yellow seeds and a true- breeding pea plant with green, wrinkled seeds. What is the probability that offspring will have green, round seeds? Calculate the probability for the F1 and F2 generations.
In sweet pea plants, an allele for purple flowers. (P) is dominanl when paired with a recessive allele for red flowers (p). An allele for Jang pollen grains (L) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for round pollen grains (L). Bateson and Punnett crossed a plant having purple flowers and long pollen grains with one having white flowers and round pollen grains. All F1 offspring have purple flowers and long pollen grains. Among the F2 generation, the researchers observed the following phenotypes: 296 purple flowers/long pollen grains 19 purple /lower/ round pollen grains 27 red flowers/long pollen grains 85 red flowers/round pollen grains What is the best explanation for these results?
How would you perform a reciprocal cross for the characteristic of stem height in the garden pea?
A true-breeding rabbit with agouti (mottled, grayish brown) fur crossed with a true-breeding rabbit with chinchilla (silver) fur produces all agouti offspring. A true-breeding chinchilla rabbit crossed with a true-breeding Himalayan rabbit (white fur with pigmented nose, ears, tail, and legs) produces all chinchilla offspring. A true-breeding Himalayan rabbit crossed with a true-breeding albino rabbit produces all Himalayan offspring. Explain the inheritance of the fur colors.
5. In garden peas, green pod (P) is dominant to yellow pod (p) and tall stemmed (T) plants are dominant to short stemmed plants (t). Please give the genotypic and phenotypic ratios from the following crosses. a) Homozygous green pod homozygous tall stemmed plant crossed with a yellow pod (homozygous) short stemmed (homozygous) plant. b) Homozygous green pod homozygous tall stemmed plant crossed with a heterozygous green pod heterozygous tall stemmed plant. c) Heterozygous green pod heterozygous tall stemmed plant crossed with a heterozygous green pod heterozygous tall stemmed plant. d) Heterozygous green pod homozygous tall stemmed plant crossed with a yellow pod (homozygous) homozygous tall stemmed plant. These are dihybrid crosses. 7. In pea plants, flower colour and pollen shape are located on the same chromosome. A plant with purple flowers and long pollen (AaBb) is crossed with one that is recessive for both traits (aabb). Calculate the…
1. In pea plants, yellow peas are dominant to green peas and purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. For each of the following parental crosses, give the predicted phenotypic and genotypic ratios of the F1 generation. Make punnet squares if necessary. 1. (heterozygous purple-flowered) x (heterozygous purple-flowered) 2. (true breeding white-flowered, yellow pea) x (true breeding purple-flowered, green pea) 3. (heterozygous purple-flowered, yellow pea) x (heterozygous purple-flowered, yellow pea) 2. You have a purple-flowered pea plant. You do not know its genotype. Diagram the test-cross you would conduct to determine the plant’s genotype and what results you would expect if the plant was heterozygous and if the plant was homozygous 3. You are studying five traits in Pentids, an amazonian flying beetle. You have identified each trait as belonging to separate alleles located on separate chromosomes and have categorized those alleles as A,B,C,D, and E, respectively. After years of…
F1 hybrids between two species of cotton, Gossypium barbadenseand Gossypium hirsutum, are very vigorous plants. However, F1crosses produce many seeds that do not germinate and a high percentageof very weak F2 offspring. Suggest two reasons for theseobservations.
2. Show the cross and provide full justification in each case:a) An F1 x F1 self-fertilization gives a 9:7 phenotypic ratio in the F2. What phenotypic ratio would you expect if you test-crossed the F1? b) An F1 x F1 self-fertilization gives a 9:3:4 phenotypic ratio in the F2. What phenotypic ratio would you expect if you test-crossed the F1? c) An F1 x F1 self-fertilization gives a 15:1 phenotypic ratio in the F2. What phenotypic ratio would you expect if you test-crossed the F1?
1) Two true-breeding varieties of maize, one 11 cm high and the other 47 cm high were crossed and the resultant F1 hybrids were then crossed to generate the F2 . In the F2 there were a total of 13,923 plants with a continuous variation in heights between the two extremes and with only 3 plants as large as 47 cm high and 5 plants of 11 cm high. a) What would be the size and genotype of the F1 from a cross between a true-breeding 11 cm plant and a true-breeding 47 cm plant? b) The F1 from (b) is then crossed to give an F2. What proportion would you expect in the F2 of each extreme phenotype? c) In a cross between a 29cm plant and a 20cm plant what would be the genotypes giving the smallest number of different phenotypes? specify the phenotypes observed.
