In sweet pea plant, an allele for purple flowers (P) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for red flowers (p). An allele for long pollen grains (L) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for round pollen grain (l). Bateson and Punnett crossed a plant having purple flowers/long pollen grains with one having white/flowers/round pollen grains. All F1 offspring had purple flowers and long pollen grains. Among the F2 generation, the researchers observed the following phenotypes: 296 purple flowers/long pollen grains 19 purple flowers/round pollen grains 27 red flowers/long pollen grains 85 red flowers/round pollen grains What is the best explanation for these results?
In a plant, fruit color is either red or yellow, and fruit shape is either oval or long. Red and oval are the dominant traits. Two plants, both heterozygous for these traits, were testcrossed, with the results shown in the following table. Determine the location of the genes relative to one another and the genotypes of the two parental plants.
A sugarcane plant with yellow pollen and wavy leaves is crossed with a plant with yellow pollen andsmooth leaves. Seed are collected and germinated. The following results are obtained in the progeny:153 yellow pollen, wavy leaves145 yellow pollen, smooth leaves48 white pollen, wavy leaves 51 white pollen, smooth leavesa. For each locus (trait), assign appropriate symbols for the alleles of the genes, indicate thedominance interaction between the two alleles, and give all possible genotypes and theirassociated phenotypes.b. Give the genotypes of the parents of this cross.c. Give the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the progeny of this cross. Please use aPunnett square to visualize your cross. Thank you very much for your assistance as it is greatly appreciated, a like is guaranteed if all subquestions are answered.
Assume that three loci, each with two alleles (A and a, B and b, C and c), determine the difference in height between two homozygous strains of a plant. These genes are additive and equal in their effects on plant height. One strain (aa bb cc) is 10 cm in height. The other strain (AA BB CC) is 22 cm in height. The two strains are crossed, and the resulting F1 are interbred to produce F2 progeny. Give the phenotypes and the expected proportions of the F2 progeny.
You identify a gene that determines the size of the pods of a pea plant. To study the phenotype associated with this trait, you cross a plant that is homozygous for the “long pod” allele with a pea plant that is homozygote for “short pod” allele. When measuring the length of the pods of the parents and resulting offspring, you obtain the following data: Plant Length (cm) Homozygous (“Wide” allele) 15 cm Homozygous (“Short” allele) 4 cm Resulting cross breed 9 cm What can you conclude about this phenotype/trait? Long and short alleles are codominant Wide allele shows incomplete dominance over the short allele Wide allele shows complete dominance over the short allele Short allele shows complete dominance over the long allele The wide and short genes are linked
In a diploid plant species, an F1 with the genotype Mm Rr Ss is test crossed to a pure breeding recessive plant with the genotype mm rr ss. The offspring genotypes are as follows: Genotype Number Mm Rr Ss 687 Mm Rr ss 5 Mm rr Ss 68 Mm rr ss 196 mm Rr Ss 185 mm Rr ss 72 mm rr Ss 8 mm rr ss 679 Total 1900 1. What is the gene order of these linked genes?
A diploid plant has red flowers, heavy seeds and large leaves. The plant is a heterozygous for the following three genes:flower color (gene “F”),seed weight (gene “S”),and leaf size (gene “L”). This plant is testcrossed to a plant, which has white flowers, light seeds, and small leaves, the progeny of the testcross is as follows: 222 Red, heavy, large 228 White, light, small 224 Red, heavy, small 226 White, light, large 24 Red, light, large 26 White, heavy, small 25 White, heavy, large 25 Red, light, small Based on this results, which of the following statement is correct? Question 9 options: All three genes are on different chromosomes. Genes S and L are linked, while F assorts independently. Genes F and S are linked, while L assorts independently. Genes F and L are linked, while S assorts independently.
A variety of opium poppy with lacerate leaves was crossed with a variety that has normal leaves. All the F1 plants had lacerate leaves. Two F1 plants were then interbred to produce the F2. Of the F2 plants, 249 had lacerate leaves and 16 had normal leaves. What are the genotypes of the plants in the P (parental), F1, and F2 generations? How are lacerate leaves determined in the opium poppy? Note: You can use the symbols A and B to represent the two genes involved. (How do we know there are two?)
Tomato Plants In tomato plants, round fruit (R) is dominant to oval fruit (r). Pure breeding plants with red and round fruit (FFRR) were crossed to pure breeding plants with yellow and oval fruit (ffrr). The red and round F1 progeny were then testcrossed to plants that were homozygous recessive for both genes (ffrr) with the following results: Phenotypes Number of Offspring Red and round 2 255 Red and oval 290 Yellow and round 310 Yellow and oval 2 145 Part A: Record the phenotypes and the phenotype ratio in lowest terms. Part B: Convert the expected phenotypic ratio from Part A into the expected probability for each of the four phenotypes and record them in the table below. Calculate the probability for each of the four phenotypes observed in the cross from the data presented at the beginning of the question by dividing the number of progeny in each class by the total number of progeny and record these in the table below.
