In tomatoes, regular leaves (L) are multilobed and serrated and potato leaves (l) are broad, smooth, and single (Image 1). Red fruit (F) is dominant to yellow fruit (f). A cross is carried out between two pure lines of tomato plants, one having regular leaves and red fruit and the other having potato leaves and yellow fruit. The F1 generation all have regular leaves and red fruit. The F1individuals are then crossed with one another. Complete a Punnett square to determine the expected F2 progeny on the basis of Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment, which states that the alleles for one gene segregate independently of the alleles for other genes during gamete formation. The information below represents two sets of data collected from the above cross.

Waxy endosperm (wx), virescent seedling (v), and shrunken endosperm (sh) are all recessive mutants in corn. Waxy and shrunken are both on chromosome IX, located 18 map units apart. Virescent is on chromosome V and is not linked to the other loci. A strain of corn that is homozygous for waxy and virescent is crossed to a strain that is homozygous for shrunken endosperm. The F1 were entirely wild type. An F1 individual was then test crossed to a strain that is homozygous for waxy, virescent, and shrunken. Of 1,000 offspring, how many of the offspring will be virescent and shrunken, but not waxy? Using the information from Problem 1, how many of the offspring will be waxy, virescent, and shrunken?

A plant geneticist is examining the mode of inheritance of flower color in two closely related species of exotic plants. The first species may have two pure-breeding lines—one produces a distinct red flower; and the other produces flowers with no color at all, or very pale yellow flowers. However, she cannot be sure. A cross of these varieties produces all pink-flowered progeny. The second species exhibits similar pure-breeding varieties; that is, one variety produces red flowers; and the other produces an albino or very pale yellow flower. A cross of these two varieties, however, produces orange-flowered progeny exclusively. Analyze the mode of inheritance of flower color in these two plant species.
