4. Loci a, band c are linked. A series of testcrosses yields the following information: alleles A and B recombine with a and bin 4% of the offspring; B and c recombine with band c in 34% of the offspring; and A and c recombine with a and c in 30 % of the offspring. Draw a map showing the relative locations of these three loci and the distances (in m.u.) between them.

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?
In cats, the genotype AA produces tabby fur color; Aa is also a tabby, and aa is black. Another gene at a different locus is epistatic to the gene for fur color. When present in its dominant W form (WW or Ww), this gene blocks the formation of fur color and all the offspring are white; ww individuals develop normal fur color. What fur colors, and in what proportions, would you expect from the cross AaWw Aa Ww?
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?
4) The round pea seed allele (R) is dominant, while the wrinkled pea seed allele (r) isrecessive. A heterozygous round-seeded pea plant is crossed with a wrinkle-seeded peaplant. Use a Punnett Square to solve the following: a. Determine the predicted genotype ratio of the offspring. b. Determine the predicted phenotype ratio of the offspring. c. If this cross produced 50 plants, how many plants would you predict would bewrinkle-seeded pea plants? please if punnet square needed write down the P G and F1 also thanks
1. a) If you were at risk of a fatal disease such as Huntington’s disease and only the 95% accurate preliminary genetic test was available, would you take the test? After all, 95% of the time the test would tell you whether you would eventually get Huntington’s disease or whether you did not have to worry about getting this disease. b) The linkage distance between the DNA sequence used in the test and the actual Huntington’ disease locus was 5%. In a large sample of the Venezuelan family, what percentage of people would inherit the DNA sequence but not the Huntington’s allele (i.e. be a false positive test for Huntington’s)? What percentage of that large Venezuelan family would not inherit the DNA sequence but would inherit the Huntington’s allele (i.e., be a false negative test for Huntington’s)?
8. In guinea pigs, the allele for black fur (B) is dominant over the allele for white fur (b). Similarly, the allele for straight hair (H) is dominant over the allele for having rough hair (h). Pure breeding rough haired guinea pigs with black fur were crossed with pure breeding straight haired guinea pigs with white fur. a. State the genotype and the phenotype of the F1 individuals produced as a result of this cross.b. Two F1 offspring were mated together. Calculate the expected ratio of phenotypes in the F2 generation.c. Show the completed Punnett square below.
7. In rabbits, a locus involved in the control of coat colour may be occupied by any of fouralleles: Full colour (C), Sepia (ck), Cream (cd), or Albino (ca). A geneticist counted the numberof Full colour (C), Sepia (ck), Cream (cd) and Albino coat offspring resulting after crossesbetween Sepia (ck) and Cream (cd) coloured coated parents. The results were as follows.• Full colour (C): 152• Sepia (ck): 53• Cream (cd): 39• Albino (ca): 6Mendelian inheritance of this trait predicts that the ratio of Full colour (C) to Sepia (ck) to Cream(cd) to Albino (ca) should be 9:3:3:1. Do the experimental results support this mode ofinheritance?
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. What proportion would you expect in the F2 of each extreme phenotype? e) 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.

1) By convention, the recessive trait will determine the abbreviation used to track crosses if it is a mutant condition, since it stands out in contrast to the rest of the population. For example, if pea pods are typically green in color, a mutant condition might result in yellow pea pods; therefore, the lowercase letter ‘y’ would be used to depict the mutant state, yellow, while uppercase ‘Y’ would depict the wildtype (wt) condition, green. Remember that the mutant condition is not necessarily always recessive. 1 A) . If green is dominant wt (Y) and yellow is a recessive mutant condition (y), depict a Yy father mated with a YY mother in the Punnett. 1B) Considering the dominant allele, what colors are the parents in the cross above? Yy = _____________________ YY = _____________________ 1C) What colors are the offspring in the cross above? 1D) What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring? 1E) What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring? (Remember, the genotypic ratio is based…
