- A researcher at ASU is studying the exotic Unicorn Fairy plant. The plant has three genes of interest with the dominant alleles being T-tall, H=hairy leaves and P=purple flowers. The three genes are located in different chromosomes. A trihybrid plant is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for T and homozygous recessive for the other two genes. What is the probability of getting offspring that is tall, has hairy leaves and white flowers? 9/64 5/8 8/64 O 3/64 O 3/16arrow_forwardA plant with the genotype AAbb was crossed with one with the genotype aaBB.

Does the woman have red hair? What about their children? Create a Punnett square and determine the ratio or percentage of their offspring that have red hair. As stated in the discussion of independent assortment and dihybrids above, pea color and coat texture are independent traits in pea plants. Yellow (G) is dominant over green (g) and smooth (W) is dominant over wrinkled (w). What would the phenotypic ratios of the offspring of parents with genotypes GGww and ggwW? Show your work with a Punnett square. Review the information on Labrador retrievers above. What are the phenotypic ratios of the F1 generation offspring of two dihybrids? Make sure to match the numbers with coat colors (e.g, which number in the ration goes with which color). Use a Punnett square to determine the ratios and show your work. Make sure to state the phenotypic ratios. Finally, what color are the parents? Two other Labradors mate and…arrow_forward

A man that can roll his tongue is heterozygous for the trait marries a woman that cannot roll her tongue. They have a child. The rolling tongue is dominant to not rolling tongue. What is the man’s genotype for tongue rolling? The women? Show the Punnett square for the child’s genotype Give the probability (percent chance) that the child can or cannot roll their tongue. Oh no! The F1 and F2 generation seed packet labels were mixed around. How would we know which seeds we planted by observing the color of the leaves? (Hint: What are the genotypes of the two generations?

- In corn plants, a dominant allele (I) inhibits kernel colour, but the recessive allele (i) permits colour when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant gene P causes purple kernel colour, and the homozygous recessive genotype pp causes red kernels.

One plant is homozygous dominant for heightand color while the other is homozygous recessive for height and color. (A:tall, a:short, B:brown,b:red) The F1 plants are allowed to self-fertilize to produce an F2 generation. After conductingan experiment we get the following results:398 tall and brown plants122 tall and red plants128 short and brown plants45 short and red plants Using the Chi Square formula and table, determine if your results support the hypothesis ofindependent assortment or not.
