A meadow is home to a population of plants of a particular species. Among these individuals are 125 plants that have red flowers and 375 plants that have white flowers. The allele of the flower color gene that produces red flowers (R) is completely dominant over the white flower color allele (r). If a plant with red flower color is crossed with a plant that produces all white flowers, what is the probability that the offspring will include plants that have white flowers? Group of answer choices a. 50% chance b. 75% chance c. 0% chance d. 25% chance e. There is not enough information to say

Your parents are studying the evolution of the pumpkin size to make the best patch in your city. After doing some crosses and genotyping some individuals, you determined that the number of individuals homozygous dominant for the largest pumpkin allele is 98, 80 are heterozygous for medium size, and 20 are homozygous recessive for small size. What is the allele frequency for the homozygous dominant allele? Please round up and your final answer should have four decimal points.
A tall pea plant (homozygous dominant) is crossed to a pea plant that is heterozygous for the gene for height. Create a Punnett Square and use it to answer the following questions: What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring? What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring? Answers are written as genotype; phenotype a) 50% TT : 50% Tt; 100% tall plants b) 1 TT : 2 Tt : 1tt; 75% tall plants : 25% dwarf plants c) 1 TT : 2 Tt : 1tt; 25% tall plants : 50% medium height plants : 25% dwarf plants
What is the chi-square value of the pumpkin population? round up and use four decimal points After doing some crosses and genotyping some individuals, you determined that the number of individuals homozygous dominant for the largest pumpkin allele is 98, 80 are heterozygous for medium size, and 20 are homozygous recessive for small size.
In garden peas, one pair of alleles controls the height of the plant, and a second pair of alleles controls flower color. The allele for tall (D) is dominant to the allele for dwarf (d), and the allele for purple (P) is dominant to the allele for white (p). A tall plant with purple flowers crossed with a tall plant with white flowers produces 3/8 tall purple, 1/8 tall white, 3/8 dwarf purple, and 1/8 dwarf white. What is the genotype of the parents? a. Dd Pp x Dd pp b. DD Pp x dd pp c. DD Pp x dd Pp d. Dd Pp x Dd Pp e. Dd pp x dd Pp
In a population of 100 pea plants, there are two variations for flower colors-- purple and white. After counting, the number of white plants were 36 plants. What would be the frequency of purple allele (p)?
In a population of beans that is mostly diploid, there are an assortment of them: black, white, orange, red, green, fuchsia, brown, yellow. What is the maximum number of alleles present in one bean?
The bird species described in question 5 has an ornamental plumage on its head. The plumage feathers are either flexible or stiff. The allele for flexible plumage is dominant over the allele for stiff plumage. A male who is heterozygous for plumage and has silver-tipped wings mates with a female who has stiff plumage with silver-tipped wings. What types of offspring would be expected from this cross? Give the probability of each.
If a red flower was mated with white flower, they produced a pink flower, what could you say about the relationship between the alleles of the red and white flowers? show your solution using punnet square
`You have a purebreeding line of blue frogs and a purebreeding line of red frogs. You cross them and all the F1 frogs are purple. You cross two of the F1 frogs to one another and get 1/4 red offspring, 1/4 blue offspring and 1/2 purple offspring. What phenotypic ratio would you get if you crossed a purple frog to a red frog? Group of answer choices A. 1/2 purple, 1/2 red B. 1/2 purple, 1/2 blue C. 3/4 purple, 1/4 red D. 1/2 blue, 1/2 red
In plants known as “morning glory”, the allele for the dominant red-flower color is incompletely dominant over the allele for white-flowers. A gardener allows several heterozygous pink-flowered morning glory plants to self pollinate and produce 200 seeds. He planted the 200 seeds. He let them grow and produce flowers. How many of these morning glory plants have white flowers? a. 50 b. 75 c. 100 d. 25
In a container/tub, place 50 pieces of red paper, 50 pieces of pink paper, and 50 pieces of white paper. Let us assume that each color is the phenotypic expression of the genotypes homozygous dominant AA (red), heterozygous Aa (pink), and homozygous recessive aa (white). Without looking, randomly pick 20 pieces of paper from your container/tub and assume that those individuals died upon picking, thus will be removed from your population. a. What will happen to your genotypic and allelic frequencies if 10 white individuals leave your gene pool and 10 red individuals immigrated to your gene pool? b. What will happen to your genotypic and allelic frequencies if by accident, all 33 red (AA) individuals were wiped out by a catastrophe?
