7-5. In corn a pair of genes determines leaf shape and another pair determines pollen shape. A ragged-leafed plant with round pollen was crossed to a ragged-leafed plant with angular-pollen, and the resultant progeny were classified as follows: Class Phenotypes 186 ragged-leaf round-pollen 11 IV 174 ragged-leaf angular-pollen 57 smooth-leaf round-pollen Total 63/480 smooth-leaf angular-pollen (a) Using alphabetical letters of your choice, designate the genes for the different leaf and pollen characters. (b) On the basis of the symbols given in (a) 1 provide genotypes two parents.

(a) Using alphabetical letters of your choice, designate the genes for the different leaf and pollen characters. (b) On the basis of the symbols given in (a) 1 provide genotypes two parents. (c) (forth)/(nbers) According to your hypothesis what would you have expected for each of the four classes of progeny? (d) After re viewing Chapter 8, use the chi-square method (p. 132) to test your hypothesis and indicate whether you accept or reject it.
