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.
Imagine you are performing a cross involving seed color in garden pea plants. What Fi offspring would you expect if you cross true-breeding parents with green seeds and yellow seeds? Yellow seed color is dominant over green. 100 percent yellow-green seeds 100 percent yellow seeds 50 percent yellow, 50 percent green seeds 25 percent green, 75 percent yellow seeds
The dominant C allele of a gene that controls color in corn produces kernels with color; plants homozygous for a recessive c allele of this gene have colorless or white kernels. What kinds of gametes, and in what proportions, would be produced by the plants in the following crosses? What seed color, and in what proportions, would be expected in the offspring of the crosses? a. CCCc b. Cccc c. CcCc
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?
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.
5. Flower color is determined by the pathway below. You a crossing a true-breeding white-flowered plant thatcannot produce gene A and a true-breeding white-flowered plant that cannot produce gene B.Gene A Gene BWhite  White  Purplea. What are the genotypes of the P-generation?b. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 generation?c. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F2 generation? What is the phenotypic ratio?(Purple:White)
2. In terms of pea plant height, tall plants (T) are dominant over dwarf plants (t). Purple flowers (P) are dominant over white flowers (p). Create a Punnett square that shows all of the possible offspring that could occur from breeding the following: a.) Plant 1: Heterozygous dominant for plant height, homozygous dominant for flower color b.) Plant 2: Heterozygous dominant for plant height, homozygous recessive for flower color c.) Include the percentage/ratio of occurrence for each phenotype.
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. Incomplete dominance governs the pigment gene of a flower. A mating between heterozygotes yields the following phenotypic ratio: 10 yellow flowers, 35 pink flowers and white flowers. Which statement describes the situation? a. The flower pigment gene is defined by a pink and yellow allele. b. The heterozygotes were yellow. c. The heterozygotes were white. d. The flower pigment gene is defined by a red and a white allele. 2. Mendel's rules do not correctly predict patterns of inheritance for tightly linked genes or the inheritance of alleles that show incomplete dominance. Does this mean that his hypotheses are incorrect? A. Yes, because they are relevant to only a small number of organisms and traits. b. Yes, because not all data support his hypotheses. c. No, because he was not aware of meiosis or the chromosome theory of inheritance. d. No, it just means that his hypotheses are limited to certain conditions. 3. Discuss the inheritance of hemophilia

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
