9. Happy with their results so far, the strawberry breeder crosses a strawberry plant with small red berries with a plant that produces large black berries. All of the offspring of this cross (the F,) had small red berries. a. Give the genotype of each parent: Parent 1 Parent 2 b. Draw a Punnett square to illustrate an F, × F, cross. Assume independent assortment of alleles during meiosis.

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
Refer to problem 2. Assume a third gene has alleles C and c. For each genotype listed, what allele combinations will occur in gametes, assuming independent assortment? a. AABBCC b. AaBBcc c. AaBBCc d. AaBbCc
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?

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?
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.
