Garden squash plants produce white or yellow fruit. A gardener saved the seeds from yellow and white squash and planted them. The seeds of the yellow squash plants produced both white and yellow squash. However, the seeds of the white squash produced only white fruit. How can you explain? Use S for dominant gene and s for the recessive gene.

A gardener received a pea plant from her neighbor, and she wants to know its genotype. The neighbor told her it produces round peas, which is a dominant trait (R) to wrinkled peas (r). The gardener performs a test cross and observes that half of the offspring plants produce wrinkled peas. What is the genotype of the plant she received from her neighbor?) homozygous recessive, rr heterozygous, Rr homozygous dominant, RR In pea plants, the allele for round peas (R) is dominant to the allele for wrinkled peas (r). A gardener has a plant he got from his neighbor that produces round peas, but he does not know its genotype. What simple procedure could he do to determine the genotype of his new plant?) Perform a dihybrid cross—if only 1 out of 16 offspring are wrinkled, then the new plant’s genotype is RR. Perform a test cross with a plant that has an Rr genotype—if all of the offspring give round seeds, then the new plant’s genotype is Rr. Perform a test cross…
Brown fur vs white fur. Say that the alleles for fur color (brown or white) are written using the letter “B” and “b”. The dominant trait is brown, white fur color represents the recessive trait. How would you write out a homozygous dominant individual?
You're trying to figure out the genotype of the mother based on the phenotypes of the offspring. Why is it helpful to breed the mother to a male that is homozygous recessive for the genes you're interested in?
Length of fur in guinea pigs is due to a dominant trait, while short-haired guinea pigs are due to a recessive trait. Can two homozygous recessive parents produce a short-haired offspring? why or why not?
In aliens, blue skin is dominant and green skin is recessive. Round bodies are dominant and square bodies are recessive. An alien who is heterozygous for both characteristics is mated with another alien who is purebred for both recessive traits. What is the percent chance of having blue, square-bodied offspring?
When traits show complete dominance, the genotype can be revealed by a test cross. In the example of tall and dwarf plants (Figure) why is it necessary to use the dwarf parent? In general, why is it necessary to use a parent that is homozygous recessive?
In his work on pea plants, Mendel found that plant height was inherited independently of the type or color of the seed coat. This finding: Group of answer choices Explains gene linkage. Demonstrates the Law of Independent Assortment. Demonstrates the Law of Dominance and Recessiveness. Applies only to genes on the same chromosome.
A scientist predicts that the kittens born with a congenital birth defect will be 25% based on the hypothesis that it is caused be a recessive gene in that breed of cat. After surveying several litters, he found that 44 out of 128 kittens had the defect. Is his hypothesis correct? Use Chi-Square to solve
You decide to breed a pair of guinea pigs, one black and one white. In guinea pigs, black fur is caused by a dominant allele (B) and white is due to homozygosity for a recessive allele (b) at the same locus. Your guinea pigs have seven offspring, four black and three white. What are the genotypes of the parents? Why is there a 1:1 ratio in this cross?
A. Which is the affected parent? Why is it the affected parent? B. Is generation 2 dominant or recessive and Why? explanation? C. Is generation 3 dominant or recessive? Why? explanation?
Black is the dominant for color for rabbits and white is the recessive. B stands for the black allele and b represents the white allele. A white rabbit would have a genotype of bb and a black rabbit would have a genotype of BB or Bb.
A researcher studied 6 independently assorting genes in a plant. Each gene has a dominant and a recessive allele: R black stem, r red stem; D tall plant, d dwarf plant; C full pods, c constricted pods; O round fruit, o oval fruit; H hairless leaves, h hairy leaves; W purple flower, w white flower. From the cross Rr Dd Cc Oo Hh Ww (male) x Rr dd Cc oo Hh ww (female): How many different kinds of gametes can be formed from both parents? What is the frequency of obtaining a sperm cell with at 3 dominant and 3 recessive alleles? How many phenotypes are possible among the progeny? How many genotypes? What is probability of obtaining a black, dwarf, constricted, oval, hairy, purple phenotype in the progeny? What is probability of obtaining progeny with exactly same genotype as the female parent? As the male parent? If both parents were heterozygous for all genes, what is the probability of obtaining progeny with at least 2 recessive traits? From the cross in (f), will there be…
