In pea plants, flower color is determined by one gene with two alleles, with the allele coding for purple flowers (P) being dominant to the allele coding for white flowers (p). If two purple-flowered offspring resulting from a cross between homozygous dominant and white-flowered parents are crossed, what percentage of the progeny are expected to have the dominant phenotype?
A particular walnut rooster was crossed to a pea hen, and the progeny consisted of 12 walnut, 11 pea, 3 rose, and 4 single chickens. What are the likely genotypes of the parents?
In snapdragons, heterozygotes for one of the genes have pink flowers, whereas homozygotes have red (R) or white (r) flowers. When plants with red flowers are crossed with plants with white flowers, what proportion/probability of the offspring will have pink flowers? Create a Punnett square.
In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. if the male has brown eyes but has a blue-eyed child, what must his genotype be?
Two plants, both heterozygous for the gene that controls flower color are crossed. What percentage of the offspring will have purple flowers? ______What percentage will have white flowers?
A different walnut rooster was crossed to a rose hen, and all the progeny were walnut. What are the possible genotypes of the parents?
In cattle, a mixed coat color occurs in the heterozygous offspring of red (RR) and white (rr) homozygous. Which of the following crosses would produce offspring in the ratio of 1red:2 mixed:1 white?
If body-color B is dominant to green body color b what would the genotype be for a heterozygous individual be? Using the blue B and a green b body color from above create a Punit square that represents the offspring of two heterozygous parents? what is the probability that they will have a child with a green body-color If the child is green what is its genotype? Cross a green parent with a homozygous blue parent. What color will their kids be?
In four o’clock(a type of flowering plant), red color flowers exhibit incomplete dominance over white; when both exist together, the flowers are pink a) in a cross between a red flower and a white one, what is the genotype of the offspring? b) what is the genotypes ratio of the F2 generation of two of the F1 from (a) are crossed?
Use a branch diagram to determine all the phenotypes and corresponding ratios that are expected to occur among the offspring of the following Mendelian cross; d d E e F f X D D e e Ff. Assume incomplete dominance for D, E and F. Hint: are phenotypes and genotypes the same or different in this case?
What is a reciprocal cross? Suppose that a gene is found as a wildtype (functional) allele and a recessive mutant (nonfunctional)allele. What would be the expected outcomes of reciprocal crossesif a true-breeding normal individual was crossed to a true-breedingindividual carrying the mutant allele? What would be the results ifthe gene is maternally inherited?
In snapdragons, red flower color (R) is incompletely dominant over white flower color (r), so that the heterozygote has pink flowers. A red snapdragon is crossed with a white snapdragon, and the F1 are intercrossed to produce F2. What is the genotype and phenotypes of the F1 and F2, along with their expected proportions? If the F1 are backcrossed to the white parent, what will be the expected genotype and phenotype of the offspring? If the F1 are backcrossed to the red parent and the resulting progeny are intercrossed, what is the expected proportions of genotypes and phenotypes in the progeny?
