can you please help? In a wildflower species, flowers occur in three colors: orange, red, and white. The color is determined by two genes that are independently assorting. The genotype thatproduces white must include T_. The presence of twot alleles allows orange or red flowers to occur. The alleles at the hypostatic locus are R (red) and r (orange).A pure-breeding orange plant is mated with a pure-breeding white plant to produce F1 plants. When the F1 plants self-pollinate to produce the F2 generation, the F2 plantsoccur in the ratio 12 white: 3 red: 1 orange.Part a) What are the genotypes of the pure breeding orange plant and pure-breeding white plant?Part b) What is the genotype and phenotype of the F1 plants?Part c) What is/are the genotype(s) of the red F2 plants?Part d) Is this an example of dominant or recessive epistasis? Explain.

It is given that the T- encodes white color. Whereas RR or Rr encodes red color in presence of tr…

In corn plants, a dominant allele (K) allows kernel colour and a recessive allele (k) inhibits kernel colour when homozygous. On a different chromosome, the dominant gene P causes purple kernel colour and the homozygous recessive genotype causes red kernel colour.A true breeding white corn plant was crossed with a purple corn plant, yielding 50% red corn plants and 50% purple corn plants.What are the genotypes of the parental corn plants? Select one: a. KKPp kkpp b. KkPP kkPP c. kkPp KkPp d. KKPP kkPp
If a homozygous green leaf is represented by YY and a homozygous yellow leaf is represented by yy, what is the correct phenotype of the following alleles: YY, Yy, yy, Yy (in order)?

In garden peas, one pair of alleles controls the height of the plant, and a second pair of alleles controls flower color. The allele for tall (D) is dominant to the allele for dwarf (d), and the allele for purple (P) is dominant to the allele for white (p). A tall plant with purple flowers crossed with a tall plant with white flowers produces 3/8 tall purple, 1/8 tall white, 3/8 dwarf purple, and 1/8 dwarf white. What is the genotype of the parents? a. Dd Pp x Dd pp b. DD Pp x dd pp c. DD Pp x dd Pp d. Dd Pp x Dd Pp e. Dd pp x dd Pp
In a certain plant, the orange flower allele (Y) is dominant to the yellow flower allele (y). An allele that prevents flower color pigment formation (W) results in white flowers irrespectively of the Y and y alleles, and is dominant to an allele (w) that allows flower color formation. What is the expected proportion of phenotypes in the offspring of a cross between two dihybrid white-flower plants? 1/3 white flowers, 1/3 orange flowers, 1/3 yellow flowers 9/16 white flowers, 3/16 orange flowers, 3/16 yellow flowers, 1/16 orange-yellowish flowers 12/16 white flowers, 3/16 orange flowers, 1/16 yellow flowers 6/8 white flowers, 1/8 orange flowers, 1/8 yellow flowers 1/2 white flowers, 1/4 orange flowers, 1/4 yellow flowers
In Labrador dogs, coat color is controlled by the genotypes of two genes. In one gene, the dominant allele, B, produces black fur, and the recessive allele, b, produces brown fur. However, if a second gene possesses two recessive alleles, ee, the dog produces yellow fur, regardless of the genotype of the first gene. If two dogs that are heterozygous for both genes, BbEe mated, what would be the frequency of the three phenotypes, black, brown, and yellow?
If two alleles of a gene are codominant, and an individual that is homozygous for one allele is crossed with an individual that is homozygous for the other: Group of answer choices epistasis is occurring. the two cancel each other out, and there is no phenotype in the offspring. offspring should only show phenotypes associated with the allele from the female parent. offspring should show phenotypes with full expression of both alleles.
In peas, tall (T) is dominant to short (t), red flowers (R) is dominant to white flowers (r), and wide leaves (W) is dominant to narrow leaves (w). A tall plant that has red flowers and wide leaves is crossed to a short plant that has white flowers and narrow leaves. The resulting progeny are shown in the table. tall, red, wide 381 tall, white, wide 122 short, red, wide 118 short, white, wide 379 Total= 1000 What is the genotype of the tall plant that has red flowers and wide leaves?
In a population of pea plants, there are two variations for flower colors-- purple and white. The allele for purple is dominant, but the white allele is recessive. If a test-cross is performed and 1000 plants are coiunted, approximately how many plants will have white flowers?
In rabbits, the dominant allele B causes black fur and the recessive allele b causes brown fur; for an independently assorting gene, the dominant allele R causes long fur and the recessive allele r causes short fur. A homozygous rabbit with long, black fur is crossed with a rabbit with short, brown fur, and the offspring are intercrossed. In the F2, what proportion of the rabbits with long, black fur will be homozygous for both genes? Show drawings and solution.
in a certain plant, when individuals with blue flowers are crossed with individuals with blue flowers, only blue flowers are produced. plants with red flowers crossed with plants with red flowers sometimes produce only red flowers, although other times they produce either red or blue flowers. when plants with red flowers are crossed with plants with blue flowers, sometimes only red flowers are produced; other times either red or blue flowers are produced. which of the following is true? Red is incompletely dominant Red is recessive Red is dominant Red is codominant Blue is dominant
In rabbits, the dominant allele B causes black fur and the recessive allele b causes brown fur; for an independently assorting gene, the dominant allele R causes long fur and the recessive allele r (for rex) causes short fur. A homozy-gous rabbit with long, black fur is crossed with a rabbit with short, brown fur, and the offspring are intercrossed. In the F2, what proportion of the rabbits with long, black fur will be homozygous for both genes? Is there a faster way to do this than to write every genotype out?
In genetics, the dash symbol (–) is a “wild card” that stands for either the dominant allele or the recessive allele; for example, A– means the individual has either the genotype AA or Aa. Two genes that undergo independent assortment affect coat color in Duroc pigs. Each gene has two alleles, one of which is dominant for coat color. Genotypes of the form A– B– are red, those of the form A– bb and aa B– are sandy, and genotype aa bb is white. What ratio of red:sandy:white is expected from the cross Aa Bb x Aa Bb?
