What is the general term for this type of genetic cross (when a parent is mated with another that has all recessive traits)? b. Are these genes linked? c. If these genes are linked, identify the parental genotypes and the recombinant genotypes.

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
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?
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
A heterozygous individual has a _______ for a trait being studied. a. pair of identical alleles b. pair of nonidentical alleles c. haploid condition, in genetic terms
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?
1. How many different types of gametes can be produced by an individual with the genotype Yy Ww Pp ee Bb? 2. If an individual with the genotype Yy Ww Pp ee Bb is crossed with another individual with the same genotype, what proportion of offspring will be homozygous recessive at all genes? 3. If an individual with genotype Yy Ww Pp ee Bb is crossed with an individual with the same genotype, what proportion of offspring will have the dominant phenotype for the four heterozygous loci?
1. A woman who is heterozygous for the brown eye and blue eye alleles marries a man with blue eyes. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the children? a) What is the genotypic ratio of the above cross (Write number next to genotype)? ___________________________________________________________________ b) What is the phenotypic ratio of the above cross?

1. What is the difference between genotype and phenotype? 2. A black guinea pig is mated to a white guinea pig, and they produce 12 black offspring. Then, the same white guinea pig is mated to a different black guinea pig, and they produce 7 black and 5 white offspring. What is the best explanation for the difference between these two matings? In your answer, you must include the genotypes for the parents and offspring of each cross. 3. In 1981, a stray black cat with unusual curled-back ears was adopted by a family in California. Suppose you were the person who owned the first “curl” cat, and wanted to develop it into its own breed. How would you determine whether the allele for curled ears is dominant or recessive? Why does it make a difference for breeders whether an allele for a trait is dominant or recessive?
1. While hiking your find a wild growing pea plant with purple flowers. You know that purple pea flowers are dominant to white pea flowers, but from looking at the plant, you cannot be certain if it is homozygous dominant or heterozygous. Explain the cross you could set up to determine the genotype of the wild pea plant and which results would indicate it is heterozygous versus homozygous. 2. Using skin color as an example of a multifactorial trait, explain why skin color produces a wide range of possible phenotypes within the human population.
