Consider a plant that has the "Leaf" gene (L) that causes leaves to be either smooth or wrinkled and is inherited through complete dominance. Heterozygotes of the L gene are smooth. A. What are the two alleles of the gene? B. What is the recessive phenotype? C. What is the genotype of a homozygous dominant individual? D. What gametes can a heterozygous individual make? E. Make a Punnett square to predict the percentage or fraction of recessive progeny when two heterozygous individuals are mated.

How can you determine the genotype of a plant showing the dominant phenotype of red color? A. Cross the red plant with a white plant to see how many red plants appear B. Cross the red plant with other red plants to see if any white plants appear. C. Cross the red plant with a white plant to see if any white plants appear. D. The phenotype reflects the genotype, so the plant must be homozygous for the trait.

If a chicken has black and white feathers, how could you describe the genes for feather color? If a plant has yellow flowers and is crossed with a plant with red flowers and the resulting offspring has orange flowers, what can you infer about this plant's genetics?
Suppose you have an AAaa tetraploid plant and it undergo self- fertilization. At least two copies of the dominant allele A are needed to obtain the dominant phenotype. At what frequency will progeny with the dominant phenotype appear?
Part A) You cross a fly with straight wings with a fly with curved wings to produce the F1 generation, all of which exhibit straight wings. In the F2 generation, you observe 65 straight-winged flies and 16 curved-wing flies. Based upon the results, which phenotype is recessive? Part B) You think this trait is controlled by a single gene, but the F2 numbers don’t quite match a 3:1 expected ratio. Perform a chi-square analysis to determine if the variation you observe is due to chance or not. Based upon this determination, would you keep or reject the “null hypothesis”? Show your work and explain your reasoning.
A cross between two red flower plants produces 2/3 progeny that are red and1/3 progeny that are yellow. What is the genotype of the red flower? Explain these unexpected ratios.
