In corn, kernel color is controlled by Gene K, with the dominant K allele producing colorful kernels and the recessive k allele producing colorless kernels. Likewise, plant color is controlled by Gene P, with the dominant P allele producing green plants and the recessive p allele producing yellow plants. Suppose you cross a heterozygous corn plant with a homozygous recessive corn plant. a. Write the genotypes of the parents in the cross. b. Write the possible gametes produced by the heterozygous parent. С. Write the possible gametes produced by the homozygous parent.

Imagine you are performing a cross involving seed color in garden pea plants. What Fi offspring would you expect if you cross true-breeding parents with green seeds and yellow seeds? Yellow seed color is dominant over green. 100 percent yellow-green seeds 100 percent yellow seeds 50 percent yellow, 50 percent green seeds 25 percent green, 75 percent yellow seeds
The dominant C allele of a gene that controls color in corn produces kernels with color; plants homozygous for a recessive c allele of this gene have colorless or white kernels. What kinds of gametes, and in what proportions, would be produced by the plants in the following crosses? What seed color, and in what proportions, would be expected in the offspring of the crosses? a. CCCc b. Cccc c. CcCc
In cats, the genotype AA produces tabby fur color; Aa is also a tabby, and aa is black. Another gene at a different locus is epistatic to the gene for fur color. When present in its dominant W form (WW or Ww), this gene blocks the formation of fur color and all the offspring are white; ww individuals develop normal fur color. What fur colors, and in what proportions, would you expect from the cross AaWw Aa Ww?
In peas, the allele Le produces tall plants and the allele le produces dwarf plants. The Le allele is dominant to le. If a tall plant is crossed with a dwarf, the offspring are distributed about equally between tall and dwarf plants. What are the genotypes of the parents?
Several alleles affect traits of roses, such as plant form and bud shape. Alleles of one gene govern whether a plant will be a climber (dominant) or shrubby (recessive). All F1 offspring from a cross between a true-breeding climber and a shrubby plant are climbers. If an F1 plant is crossed with a shrubby plant, about 50 percent of the offspring will be shrubby; 50 percent will be climbers. Using symbols A and a for the dominant and recessive alleles, make a Punnett- square diagram of the expected genotypes and phenotypes the cross between the F1 offspring and the shrubby plant.
Another gene in Drosophila determines wing length. The dominant wild-type allele of this gene produces long wings; a recessive allele produces vestigial (short) wings. A female that is true- breeding for red eyes and long wings is mated with a male that has purple eyes and vestigial wings. F1 females are then crossed with purple-eyed, vestigial-winged males. From this second cross, a total of 600 offspring are obtained with the following combinations of traits: 252 with red eyes and long wings 276 with purple eyes and vestigial wings 42 with red eyes and vestigial wings 30 with purple eyes and long wings Are the genes linked, unlinked, or sex-linked? If they are linked, how many map units separate them on the chromosome?
Refer to problem 2. Assume a third gene has alleles C and c. For each genotype listed, what allele combinations will occur in gametes, assuming independent assortment? a. AABBCC b. AaBBcc c. AaBBCc d. AaBbCc
In addition to the two genes in problem 4, assume you now study a third independently assorting gene that has the alleles C and c. For each of the following genotypes, indicate what types of gametes will be produced: a. AA BB CC b. Aa BB Cc c. Aa BB cc d. Aa Bb Cc
Individuals affected by a condition known as polydactyly have extra fingers or toes. The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of this trait in one family: From the pedigree, can you tell if polydactyly comes from a dominant or recessive allele? Is the trait sex-linked? As far as you can determine, what is the genotype of each person in the pedigree with respect to the trait?
Two pairs of traits are segregating in a cross. Two parents produce 156 progeny that fall into 4 phenotypes. The numbers of offspring in the 4 phenotypes are 89, 31, 28, and 8. What are the genotypes of the two parents?
The ability of humans to taste the bitter chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a genetic trait. People with at least one copy of the normal, dominant allele of the PTC gene can taste PTC; those who are homozygous for a mutant, recessive allele cannot taste it. Could two parents able to taste PTC have a nontaster child? Could nontaster parents have a child able to taste PTC? A pair of taster parents, both of whom had one parent able to taste PTC and one nontaster parent, are expecting their first child. What is the chance that the child will be able to taste PTC? Unable to taste PTC? Suppose the first child is a nontaster. What is the chance that their second child will also be unable to taste PTC?
A heterozygous individual has a _______ for a trait being studied. a. pair of identical alleles b. pair of nonidentical alleles c. haploid condition, in genetic terms
