When a white guinea pig is crossed to a yellow guinea pig, all the progeny are cream-colored. From a cross of two such F1’s, the F2 showed 32 white, 66 cream, and 30 yellow guinea pigs. How is this trait inherited? _______________ Identify the genotype of the white guinea pig. ________ Identify the genotype of the yellow guinea pig. ________ Identify the genotype of the cream-colored guinea pig. ________ Identify the genotypes and the corresponding phenotypes of the F2 progeny. Give the genotypic ratio. __________________ Give the phenotypic ratio. ___________________
In corn, a colored aleurone is due to the presence of an R allele; r/r is colorless. Another gene controls the color of the plant, with g/g being yellow and G_being green. A plant of unknown genotype is test-crossed, and the following progeny plants were obtained. Colored green 89 Colored yellow 13 Colorless green 9 Colorless yellow 92 What was the phenotype and genotype of the plant used for the test cross? A. Colorless green - rG/rg B. Colorless yellow - rg/rg C. Colored yellow - Rg/rg D. Colored green - RG/rg
In the tomato, yellow flowers (Y) is dominant to white flowers (y). A true-breeding yellow flowered strain is crossed with a true-breeding white flowered strain.A. If the F1 generation is self crossed, what will be the genotypes and phenotypes of the progeny and in what portions are they expected? B. If an F1 plant were crossed with a plant from true-breeding white flowered strain, what will be the genotypes and phenotypes of the progeny and in what portions are they expected?
A. You cross a true-breeding sunflower, with yellow flowers and black seeds, with another true-breeding sunflower, with white flowers and green seeds. All of the F1 generation have yellow flowers and green seeds. Create allele symbols and genotypes for these genes and create a representation of this cross, which is consistent with the stated premises. Show your work. B. Upon completing an F1xF1 cross of the yellow flower, green seed sunflowers, you observe the following phenotype classes of offspring in the F2: 250 Yellow flowers and black seeds; 250 white flowers and green seeds; 500 yellow flowers and green seeds. A test cross of the yellow flower, green seed F1 generation generates the following offspring: 500 white flowers and green seeds; 500 yellow flowers and black seeds. Do these observations taken together, of the F1, F2, and test cross offspring, respectively, represent violations of Mendel's first law, Mendel's second law, or both? Explain your answer.
The A locus and the D locus are so tightly linked that norecombination is ever observed between them. If Ad/Ad is crossed with aD/aD and the F1 is intercrossed,what phenotypes will be seen in the F2 and in whatproportions?
When true-breeding mice with brown fur and short tails (BBtt) were crossed to true-breeding mice with white fur and long tails (bbTT), all the F1 offspring had brown fur and long tails. The F1 offspring were then crossed to mice with white fur and short tails (bbtt). The fur gene and the tail length gene are 7 cM apart. Part a Which of the following F2 offspring are recombinant? (Select all that apply.) a) White fur, short tail b) Brown fur, long tail c) You need more information to answer this question. d) White fur, long tail e) Brown fur, short tail Part b Using the information given in Part a, if there were 400 mice in the F2 generation, how many do you expect would have white fur and long tails? a) 25 b) 186 c) 14 d) 372 e) 28 f) 75
To determine the recombination frequency between body color and wing genes in flies, you perform several crosses where you cross an F1 having red body and smooth wings with a yellow-bodied, crinkle-winged fly. You get the following results. What is the distance between the genes for body color and wing surface in map units?
What is the most likely order of the linked genes R, S, and T if the distance between R and S is 22 cM, the distance between S and T is 8cM, and the distance between R and T is 14 cM? A. R S T B. T R S C. Cannot be determined D. S T R
In the tomato, three genes are linked on the same chromosome. Tallis dominant to dwarf, skin that is smooth is dominant to skin that ispeachy, and fruit with a normal rounded tomato shape is dominantto oblate (flattened) shape. A plant that is true-breeding for thedominant traits was crossed to a dwarf plant with peachy skin andoblate fruit. The F1 plants were then testcrossed to dwarf plants withpeachy skin and oblate fruit. The following results were obtained: 151 tall, smooth, normal33 tall, smooth, oblate11 tall, peach, oblate2 tall, peach, normal155 dwarf, peach, oblate29 dwarf, peach, normal12 dwarf, smooth, normal0 dwarf, smooth, oblate Construct a genetic map that shows the order of these three genesand the distances between them?

You have a pure breeding plant with red flowers, yellow seeds and red-veined leaves. You cross this with another pure breeding plant that has white flowers, pink seeds and yellow leaf veins. All of the offspring (F1) have white flowers, yellow seeds and orange leaf veins. Assuming all three loci are independently assorting, use this information to answer the following question: If two F1 offspring are crossed with each other and 1000 F2 are obtained, approximately how many offspring should have orange leaf veins? a. 1000 b. 750 c. 500 d. 250 e.
