Two pairs of traits are segregating in a cross. Two parents produce 156 progeny that fall into 4 phenotypes. The numbers of offspring in the 4 phenotypes are 89, 31, 28, and 8. What are the genotypes of the two parents?
Several alleles affect traits of roses, such as plant form and bud shape. Alleles of one gene govern whether a plant will be a climber (dominant) or shrubby (recessive). All F1 offspring from a cross between a true-breeding climber and a shrubby plant are climbers. If an F1 plant is crossed with a shrubby plant, about 50 percent of the offspring will be shrubby; 50 percent will be climbers. Using symbols A and a for the dominant and recessive alleles, make a Punnett- square diagram of the expected genotypes and phenotypes the cross between the F1 offspring and the shrubby plant.
Consider a cross to investigate the pea pod texture trait, involving constricted or inflated pods. Mendel found that the traits behave according to a dominant/ recessive pattern in which inflated pods were dominant. If you performed this cross and obtained 650 inflated-pod plants in the F2 generation, approximately how many constricted-pod plants would you expect to have? 600 165 217 468
In peas, the allele Le produces tall plants and the allele le produces dwarf plants. The Le allele is dominant to le. If a tall plant is crossed with a dwarf, the offspring are distributed about equally between tall and dwarf plants. What are the genotypes of the parents?
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.

1. Construct a pedigree chart of the trait traced in the situation below.2. The pedigree chart must be constructed with the names and genotypes at the bottom of every individual in the chart.If it is autosomal: Always use the first letter of the dominant trait to represent the dominant allele. For example, if the dominant trait is red, so the allele R-red, while r-yellow. For example, if the person is homozygous dominant for curly hair, we write CC as his genotype. If sex-linked, do not forget to write the parents’ chromosomes (XX-female, XY-male), with their corresponding superscripts (dominant or recessive). The superscript must be based on the first letter of the disorder. For example, the mother is a carrier of hemophilia (which is x-linked recessive), so we write XHXh. If the father has hemophilia, we write XhY. Put the pedigree chart using code properly. The situation is given below: Trait: NeurofibromatosisThe dominant form is neurofibromatosis, caused by the production of…

Two pure breeding lines, one with pink petals and another with white petals were collected and the following crosses were made, with results shown in the table below: parents F1 F2 blue x white blue 101 blue, 33 white blue x pink blue 192 blue, 63 pink pink x white blue 272 blue, 121 white, 89 pink A. Define the allele symbols that can be used and show the genotype of parents, F1 and F2. B.
