After crossing a tall plant with purple flowers (TtPp) and a dwarf plant with white flowers (ttpp), you obtain the following offspring counts. Assuming independent assortment, what is the expected number of offspring that are short plants with purple flowers? Please round your answer to the nearest integer. phenotype count tall, purple 245 short, purple 252 tall, white 251 short, white 252
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
In a genetic cross between a homozygous tall plant with homozygous purple flowers and a homozygous short plant with heterozygous purple flowers, how many short plants will you expect in the F2 generation if you sample 36 individuals? Both tall and purple are dominant.
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 ratio 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” 1/2-10”, 3/8-8”, 1/8 6” 1/2-12”, 3/8-10”, 1/8 8” 1/8-10”, 3/8-8”, 3/8-6”, 1/8-4”
A dark-red strain and a white strain of wheat are crossed and produce an intermediate, medium-red F1. When the F1 plants are interbred, an F2 generation is produced in a ratio of 1 dark-red: 4 medium-dark-red: 6 medium-red: 4 light-red: 1 white. Further crosses reveal that the dark-red and white F2 plants are true breeding. Predict the outcome of the F1 and F2 generations in a cross between a true-breeding medium-red plant and a white plant.

A dark-red strain and a white strain of wheat are crossed and produce an intermediate, medium-red F1. When the F1 plants are interbred, an F2 generation is produced in a ratio of 1 dark-red: 4 medium-darkred: 6 medium-red: 4 light-red: 1 white. Further crosses reveal that the dark-red and white F2 plants are true breeding. (a) Based on the ratios in the F2 population, how many genes are involved in the production of color? (b) How many additive alleles are needed to produce each possible phenotype? (c) Assign symbols to these alleles, and list possible genotypes that give rise to the medium-red and light-red phenotypes. (d) Predict the outcome of the F1 and F2 generations in a cross between a true-breeding medium-red plant and a white plant
Two true-breeding varieties of maize, one 11 cm high and the other 47 cm high were crossed and the resultant F1 hybrids were then crossed to generate the F2 . In the F2 there were a total of 13,923 plants with a continuous variation in heights between the two extremes and with only 3 plants as large as 47 cm high and 5 plants of 11 cm high. What is the contribution of each dominant allele to the phenotype in cm? The F1 from (b) is then crossed to give an F2. What proportion would you expect in the F2 of each extreme phenotype?
The height of the seed head in wheat at maturity is determined by several genes. In one variety, the head is just 9 inches above the ground; in another, it is 33 inches above the ground. Plants from the 9-inch variety were crossed to plants from the 33-inch variety. Among the F1, the seed head was 21 inches above the ground. After self-fertilization, the F1 plantsproduced an F2 population in which 9-inch and 33-inch plants each appeared with a frequency of 1/256. (a) How many genes are involved in the determination of seed head height in these strains of wheat? (b) How much does each allele of these genes contribute toseed head height? (c) If a 21-inch F2 plant were crossed to a 9-inch plant, how often wouldyou expect 18-inch wheat to occur in the progeny?
An inbred strain of plants has a mean height of 24 cm. A second strain of the same species from a different geographic region also has a mean height of 24 cm. When plants from the two strains are crossed together, the F1 plants are the same height as the parent plants. However, the F2 generation shows a wide range of heights; the majority are like the P1 and F1 plants, but approximately 4 of 1000 are only 12 cm high and about 4 of 1000 are 36 cm high. (a) What mode of inheritance is occurring here? (b) How many gene pairs are involved? (c) How much does each gene contribute to plant height? (d) Indicate one possible set of genotypes for the original P1 parents and the F1 plants that could account for these results. (e) Indicate three possible genotypes that could account for F2 plants that are 18 cm high and three that account for F2 plants that are 33 cm high.
