In a dihybrid cross of two heterozygous individuals, you expect a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio in the offspring, but observe a ratio of 9:7. What is the most likely explanation? O Codominance O It is a sex-limited trait Simple Mendelian inheritance O Incomplete penetrance O Epistatic interaction of the two genes

Assuming complete dominance, crosses between two dihybrid F1 pea plant, which are offspring from a cross AABBaabb, result in F2 phenotype ratios of ________. a. 1:2:1 b. 3:1 c. 1:1:1:1 d. 9:3:3:1
Variations on a Theme by Mendel A characteristic of snapdragons amenable to genetic analysis is flower color. Imagine that a true-breeding red- flowered variety is crossed to a pure line having white flowers. The progeny are exclusively pink-flowered. Diagram this cross, including genotypes for all P1 and F1 phenotypes. What is the mode of inheritance? Let F = red and f = white.

Variations on a Theme by Mendel Pea plants usually have white or red flowers. A strange pea-plant variant is found that has pink flowers. A selfcross of this plant yields the following phenotypes: 30 red flowers 62 pink flowers 33 white flowers What are the genotypes of the parents? What is the genotype of the progeny with red flowers?
A single allele gives rise to the HbS form of hemoglobin. Individuals who are homozygous for the allele HbS/HbS develop sickle-cell anemia Section 9.5. Heterozygous individuals HbA/ HbS have few Symptoms. A couple who are both heterozygous for the HbS allele plan to have children. For each of the pregnancies, determine the probability that their child will be: a. homozygous for the HbS allele b. homozygous for the normal allele HbA c. heterozygous: HbA/HbS
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?
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. Parents: brown eyes, right-handed blue eyes, left-handed Offspring: 1/4 brown eyes, right-handed 1/4 brown eyes, left-handed 1/4 blue eyes, right-handed 1/4 blue eyes, left-handed
Three genes in fruit flies affect a particular trait, andone dominant allele of each gene is necessary to get awild-type phenotype.a. What phenotypic ratios would you predict amongthe progeny if you crossed triply heterozygous flies?b. You cross a particular wild-type male in successionwith three tester strains. In the cross with one testerstrain (AA bb cc), only 1/4 of the progeny are wildtype. In the crosses involving the other two testerstrains (aa BB cc and aa bb CC), half of the progeny are wild type. What is the genotype of thewild-type male?
