The text outlines some of the problems Frederick William I encountered in his attempt to breed tall Potsdam Guards. a. Why were the results he obtained so different from those obtained by Mendel with short and tall pea plants? b. Why were most of the children shorter than their tall parents?
Imagine that you are performing a cross involving seed color in garden pea plants. What traits would you expect to observe in the F1 offspring if you cross true-breeding parents with green seeds and yellow seeds? Yellow seed color is dominant over green. a. only yellow-green seeds b. only yellow seeds c. 1:1 yellow seeds:green seeds d. 1:3 green seeds:yellow seeds
Sunflowers with flowers 10 cm in diameter are crossed with a plant that has 20-cm flowers. The F1 plants have flowers 15 cm in diameter. In the F2 generation, 4 flowers are 10 cm in diameter and 4 are 20 cm in diameter. Between these are 5 phenotypic classes with diameters intermediate to those at the extremes. a. Assuming that the alleles that contribute to flower diameter act additively, how many genes control flower size in this strain of sunflowers? b. How much does each additive allele contribute to flower diameter? c. What size flower makes up the largest phenotypic class?
Figure 8.10 In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white (p), and yellow peas (Y) are dominant to green (y). What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes for a cross between PpYY and ppYy pea plants? How many squares would you need to complete a Punnett square analysis of this cross?
Use a Punnett square to predict the offspring in a cross between a dwarf pea plant (homozygous recessive) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous). What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring?

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

Assume that the length of a type of cucumber at maturity is controlled by two genes (A and B), each of which has two alleles. The A and B alleles each add 3 inches of cucumber growth, while the a and b alleles add only 1 inches. If a plant with genotype Aabb is crossed to a plant with genotype AaBb, what ratios of lengths are expected in the progeny? 1/8-12”, 3/8-10”, 3/8-8”, 1/8-6” 1/2-8”, 3/8-6”, 1/8 4” 1/8-10”, 3/8-8”, 3/8-6”, 1/8-4” 1/2-12”, 3/8-10”, 1/8 8” 1/2-10”, 3/8-8”, 1/8 6”
Assume the height in a particular plant is determined by two pairs of unlinked polygenes, each effective allele contributes 5cm to a base height of 10cm.a. What are the heights of each parent?b. What height is to be expected in the F1 if there are no environmental effects?c. What is the expected phenotypic ratio in the F2
Assume that plant height is determined by a pair of alleles at each of two loci (A and a, B and b) that are additive in their effects. Further assume that each allele represented by an uppercase letter contributes 6 feet to height and that each allele represented by a lowercase letter contributes 2 foot to height. If a plant with genotype Aabb is crossed to a plant with genotype aaBb, what heights are expected in the progeny? 1/216ft : 1/2 12ft 1/4 16ft : 1/2 12ft : 1/4 8ft 1/4 20ft : 1/2 16ft : 1/4 12ft 1/4 24ft : 1/2 20ft : 1/4 16ft 1/2 20ft : 1/2 16ft
