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?
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?
What could be the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for a typical mendelian trait showed in the picture?
Can a monohybrid cross be used to illustrate Mendel’s principle of independent assortment?
If mendel crossed heterozygous smooth pea plants with each other, what would be the genotype and phenotype ratio of the offspring?
Over the years, Mendel experimented with more than 30,000 pea plants. Why did Mendel collect data on so many plants? Why didn’t he study just one cross? Hint: Read “What Are the Odds?” on page 124 before answering.
Mendel performs a cross using a true-breeding pea plant with round, yellow seeds and a true-breeding pea plant with green, wrinkled seeds. What is the probability that offspring will have green, round seeds? Calculate the probability for the F1 and F2 generations.
Use a Punnett square to illustrate the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of one of Mendel’s crosses.
Mendel crossed a true-breeding pea plant with green pods and a true breading pea plant with yellow pods. Assuming that green is the dominant color indicate the genotype of the parents and the phenotypic ratio of F2 generation.
In Mendel's experiments, he obtained the following results: Which phenotypes can be said to be dominant?
Why did Mendel perform "reciprocal crosses"? Someone gives you a bag of yellow peas and you plant them in the Spring. Can you predict the color of the peas that will appear in the pods on the plants grown from these peas? Would your answer be different if you had received a bag of green peas? Explain what Mendel means when he writes that the 3:1 ratio observed in the first generation from the hybrids "resolves itself" into a ratio of 2:1:1
How can you relate the two principles of Mendel to Chi-Square Values?
