In a cross involving polygenic inheritance, three (3) gene pairs control plant height. The shortest andtallest plants are 12 cm and 24 cm, respectively. What height should all F1s display if the shortest andtallest plants were crossed, assuming environmental factors are the same?
What is a reciprocal cross? Suppose that a gene is found as a wildtype (functional) allele and a recessive mutant (nonfunctional)allele. What would be the expected outcomes of reciprocal crossesif a true-breeding normal individual was crossed to a true-breedingindividual carrying the mutant allele? What would be the results ifthe gene is maternally inherited?
A plant with red flowers is crossed with a plant with white flowers and the resulting offspring have pink flowers. What type of inheritance pattern does this describe? If two plants with pink flowers are crossed, what will be the resulting phenotypes and in what ratio? Show punnet squares if needed

A plant with red flowers is crossed with a plant with white flowers and the resulting offspring have pink flowers. What type of inheritance pattern does this describe? If two plants with pink flowers are crossed, what will be the resulting phenotypes and in what ratio?
A tall pea plant with axial flowers was crossed to a dwarf plantwith terminal flowers. Tallness and axial flowers are dominanttraits. The following offspring were obtained: 27 tall, axial flowers;23 tall, terminal flowers; 28 dwarf, axial flowers; and 25 dwarf,terminal flowers. What are the genotypes of the parents?
In pea plants, flower color is determined by one gene with two alleles, with the allele coding for purple flowers (P) being dominant to the allele coding for white flowers (p). If two purple-flowered offspring resulting from a cross between homozygous dominant and white-flowered parents are crossed, what percentage of the progeny are expected to have the dominant phenotype?
In pea plants, tall(T) is dominant over short (t). What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of a cross between a TT and a TT plant?
A homozygous round seeded plant is crossed with a homozygous wrinkled seeded plant. What are the genotypes of the parents? _
The tiny blue-eyed Mary flower is often one of the first flowers seen in the spring in some regions of the United States. The flower is normally blue, but sometimes a white or pink flower variation is found. The following data were obtained after several crosses. A student claims that these flower colors are an inherited trait, and the F1 and F2 phenotypes of the flowers arising from the pink and white cross can best be explained by epistasis, where another gene product influences phenotype expression. This data supports this claim because in order to produce a __________ (pink, white, or blue) flower, a gene for a switch that 'turns on' the color gene would be recessive, meaning it has a mutation that causes it to be 'off'. In order to express a color, this switch needs to be in the dominant form. The color gene is a structural gene that has two variants: a dominant trait, ______ (pink, white, or blue) and a recessive _______ (pink, white, or blue) variety.
The gene for tall is dominant over dwarf in the garden pea plant. If a heterozygous tall plant is crossed with a dwarf plant what would be the genotype and the phenotype of the offspring?
