1. During his study of the rare Idlewild Lady Slipper (a wild orchid), Dr. Jorge Whiteback discovered several variants of the typical "wild-type" phenotype. He found two varieties of lady slippers at different elevations: a lady slipper variety found in the valley with red flowers and a lady slipper found at higherelevations with white flowers. When Dr. Whiteback did controlled crosses between lady slippers with red flowers and lady slippers with white flowers, all the offspring of this cross had pink flowers. After allowing pinkflowering lady slippers to self-fertilize, the next generation of plants had 112 red flowering plants, 218 pink flowering plants, and 108 white flowering plants.1a) What mode of inheritance would best explain the results of Dr. Whiteback's crosses?b) How many genes and how many different alleles of these gene(s) are determining flower coloraccording to your mode of inheritance?c) Define alleles using the appropriate notation for your answer in (a) and use that…

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) How many i) genes and ii) how many alleles are involved in determining height in this plant? b) What is the contribution of each dominant allele to the phenotype in cm? c) 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? d) The F1 from (b) is then crossed to give an F2.
