Considering pea plants like the ones Mendel studied, you will be crossing plants based on two characters: seed pod color and seed shape. • Seed pod color: yellow seed pods are dominant and green seed pods are recessive. • Seed shape: round seeds are dominant and wrinkled seeds are recessive. If a homozygous yellow, heterozygous round seed parent is crossed with a green, heterozygous round seed parent, what would be the predicted phenotypic ratio of their offspring? Define the letters for each trait. Set up the problem. Complete the Punnett Square and indicate your answer, showing all of your work.

More Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment Determine the possible genotypes of the following parents by analyzing the phenotypes of their children. In this case, we will assume that brown eyes (B) is dominant to blue (b) and that right-handedness (R) is dominant to left-handedness (r). a. Parents: brown eyes, right-handed brown eyes, right-handed Offspring: 3/4 brown eyes, right-handed 1/4 blue eyes, right-handed b. Parents: brown eyes, right-handed blue eyes, right-handed Offspring: 6/16 blue eyes, right-handed 2/16 blue eyes, left-handed 6/16 brown eyes, right-handed 2/16 brown eyes, left-handed c.

Crossing Pea Plants: Mendels Study of Single Traits Stem length in pea plants is controlled by a single gene. Consider the cross of a true-breeding long-stemmed variety to a true-breeding short-stemmed variety in which long stems are completely dominant. a. If 120 F1 plants are examined, how many plants are expected to be long stemmed? Short stemmed? b. Assign genotypes to both P1 varieties and to all phenotypes listed in (a). c. A long-stemmed F1 plant is self-crossed. Of 300 F2 plants, how many should be long stemmed? Short stemmed? d. For the F2 plants mentioned in (c), what is the expected genotypic ratio?
More Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment Consider the following cross in pea plants, in which smooth pea shape is dominant to wrinkled, and yellow pea color is dominant to green. A plant with smooth yellow peas is crossed to a plant with wrinkled green peas. The offspring produced peas that were all smooth and yellow. What are the genotypes of the parents? What are the genotypes of the offspring?
Crossing Pea Plants: Mendels Study of Single Traits An unspecified characteristic controlled by a single gene is examined in pea plants. Only two phenotypic states exist for this trait. One phenotypic state is completely dominant to the other. A heterozygous plant is self-crossed. What proportion of the progeny of plants exhibiting the dominant phenotype is homozygous?
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?
Three recessive traits in garden pea plants are as follows: yellowpods are recessive to green pods, bluish green seedlings are recessiveto green seedlings, creeper (a plant that cannot stand up) isrecessive to normal. A true-breeding normal plant with green podsand green seedlings was crossed to a creeper with yellow pods andbluish green seedlings. The F1 plants were then crossed to creeperswith yellow pods and bluish green seedlings. The following resultswere obtained: 2059 green pods, green seedlings, normal151 green pods, green seedlings, creeper281 green pods, bluish green seedlings, normal15 green pods, bluish green seedlings, creeper2041 yellow pods, bluish green seedlings, creeper157 yellow pods, bluish green seedlings, normal282 yellow pods, green seedlings, creeper11 yellow pods, green seedlings, normal Construct a genetic map that indicates the map distances betweenthese three genes?
A pea plant is heterozygous for three genes (Tt Rr Yy), whereT = tall, t = dwarf, R = round seeds, r = wrinkled seeds, Y = yellowseeds, and y = green seeds. Tall, round, and yellow are the dominanttraits. What is the probability that an offspring from self-fertilizationof this plant will be tall with wrinkled, yellow seeds?
Do a punnet square to find the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 generation when a plant that is homozygous recessive for pod color and heterozygous for pea shape is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for pod color and homozygous dominant for pea shape. Dominant for pod color = G (green) Recessive for pod color = g (yellow) Dominant for pea shape = R (round) Recessive for pea shape = r (wrinkled) P1: GG X Rr Gg X RR
You carry out a trihybrid cross (a cross in which the parental plants differ for three characters) between a tall pea plant with round, yellow seeds (TT RR YY) and a short pea plant with wrinkled, green seeds (tt rr yy). The parental plants are homozygous for all of the three characters. They are crossed to produce the F1 generation. Tall, round, and yellow are the dominant traits for each character. What will be the phenotypes of the F1 generation?
In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant over white flowers (p). If a homozygous dominant plant is crossed with a homozygous recessive plant, what proportion of the F1 offspring will have purple flowers? If you let the F1 generation self-pollinate, what proportion of the F2 plants will have white flowers?
In guinea pigs, short hair (L) is dominant to long hair (l), and the heterozygous conditions ofyellow coat (CY) and white coat (CW) give cream coat. A short- haired, cream guinea pig is bredto a long-haired, white guinea pig, and a long-haired, cream baby guinea pig is produced. Whenthe baby grows up, it is bred back to the short-haired, cream parent. What phenotypic classes, andin what proportions, are expected among the offspring?
