In a plant, stems can appear fuzzy or smooth. The allele for fuzzy (F) is dominant. These plants can also have blue (B-) or white flowers. White is the recessive trait. A cross was made between plants heterozygous for both traits. You observed 290 blue fuzzy, 80 blue smooth, 70 white fuzzy, and 40 white smooth plants. Are your observations consistent with your expectations?

You decide to breed a pair of guinea pigs, one black and one white. In guinea pigs, black fur is caused by a dominant allele (B) and white is due to homozygosity for a recessive allele (b) at the same locus. Your guinea pigs have seven offspring, four black and three white. What are the genotypes of the parents? Why is there a 1:1 ratio in this cross?
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
Considering the Mendelian traits tall (D) versus dwarf (d) and violet (W) versus white (w), consider the crosses below and determine the genotypes of the parental plants by analyzing the phenotypes of the offspring. Parental Plants Offspring tall, violet x tall, white 3/8 tall, white 3/8 tall, violet 1/8 dwarf, violet 1/8 dwarf, white Select the one best answer.

The best way to determine the genotype for a plant presenting with dominant phenotypes is by performing a test cross. Test crosses are always performed with a true-breeding plant with recessive traits. What would be the phenotype and genotype of the plant you would need to perform the test-cross with your tall, purple plant?After performing the test-cross with your unknown purple, tall plant you find that all your resulting plants are tall; half have white flowers, and half have purple flowers. What was the genotype of your original purple, tall plant?
For flower color A-bb results in red, aaB- results in blue and A-B- results in purple. There is also a color gene, C that when homozygous recessive results in white flowers. Which of the following genotypes will result in white flowers? AABBcc AaBbCc aaBbCC AabbCc
After crossing a tall plant with purple flowers (TtPp) and a dwarf plant with white flowers (ttpp), you obtain the following offspring counts. Assuming independent assortment, what is the expected number of offspring that are short plants with purple flowers? Please round your answer to the nearest integer. phenotype count tall, purple 245 short, purple 252 tall, white 251 short, white 252
During his study of the rare Idlewild Lady Slipper (a wild orchid), Dr. Jorge Whiteback discovered several variants of the typical “wild-type” phenotype. He found two varieties of lady slippers at different elevations: a lady slipper variety found in the valley with red flowers and a lady slipper found at higher elevations with white flowers. When Dr. Whiteback did controlled crosses between lady slippers with red flowers and lady slippers with white flowers, all the offspring of this cross had pink flowers. After allowing pink flowering lady slippers to self-fertilize, the next generation of plants had 112 red flowering plants, 218 pink flowering plants, and 108 white flowering plants. part a)What mode of inheritance would best explain the results of Dr. Whiteback’s crosses? part b)How many genes and how many different alleles of these gene(s) are determining flower color according to your mode of inheritance? c) Define alleles using the appropriate notation for your answer in (a)…

A farmer is interested in a novel colour pattern in beans. This trait is controlled by a single autosomal gene (Gene G) with two alleles. The G-allele results in a striped bean, while the recessive g-allele causes a brown bean. The farmer has a plant that has striped beans. Can you suggest how the farmer can determine the genotype (GG or Gg) of his bean plant in a single cross? Describe this cross and provide details on how you would interpret the results
) In a dihybrid cross, a true breeding short white flowered plant is crossed with a non-true breeding tall purple flowered plant. Both tall and purple are dominant traits. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring generation and what are the ratios of each? For full credit, you must show all work.
Many of the color varieties of summer squash are determined by two different interacting genes A and B: AA or Aa gives white colored squash, aaBB or aaBb gives yellow squash, and aabb produces green squash. A plant producing white squash is crossed with a plant producing green squash. One half of the offspring produces white squash; the other half produces green squash. What is the genotype of the parent plant producing white squash? AAbb AABB AaBb Aabb AaBB
When traits show complete dominance, the genotype can be revealed by a test cross. In the example of tall and dwarf plants (Figure) why is it necessary to use the dwarf parent? In general, why is it necessary to use a parent that is homozygous recessive?
