6. Assume height in a particular plant to be determined by 2 pairs of unlinked polygenes, each effective allele contributing 5 cm. to a base height of 5 cm. The cross AABBX aabb is made. Solution What are the heights of each parent? What height is to be expected in the F1 if there are no environmental effects? What is the expected phenotypic ratio in the F2? If each pair of alleles exhibited complete dominance instead of an additive effect, what would be the answers in letters a to c?

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
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.
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?
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?
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. 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. Use the following information to answer the question: Parental cross is RrYy x RrYy Seed Shapes are R-round, r-wrinkled Seed colors are Y-yellow, y-green Based on the information given, what is the phenotype ratio of the offspring of this cross? 2. A pea plant heterozygous for height and seed color (TtYy) is crossed with a pea plant heterozygous for height but homozygous recessive for seed color (Ttyy). If 80 offspring are produced, how many are expected to be tall and have yellow seeds? 3. What is the chromosome theory of inheritance? How does this theory explain Mendel's results? 4. A cross between two organisms heterozygous for two different genes (AaBb) results in a 9:3:3:1 phenotype ratio among the offspring. Is the offspring's genotype ratio the same? Explain your answer.…
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…
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.
3. You perform a cross between two true-breedingstrains of zucchini. One has green fruit and the otherhas yellow fruit. The F1 plants are all green, butwhen these are crossed, the F2 plants consist of9 green : 7 yellow.a. Explain this result. What were the genotypes of thetwo parental strains?b. Indicate the phenotypes, with frequencies, of theprogeny of a testcross of the F1 plants.c. Describe the epistasis interactions observed.d. Suppose that the dominant alleles specify functional enzymes, and the recessive alleles are nonfunctional. Propose a biochemical pathway thatcould explain the gene interactions.e. Is it possible to cross two different pure-breedingyellow zucchini strains and obtain all green progeny? What would be the genotypes of the parentsand progeny? f. Assuming that wild-type zucchini are green, howwould you describe the phenomenon that occurredin the F1 of part (e)?

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 .
