In snapdragons, red flower color (R) is incompletely dominant over white flower color (r). The hybrids or heterozygous plants (Rr) are pink in color. a) Show the genotype for a white flower and for a red flower. b) If a red-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant, what are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 generation plants? c) What genotypes and phenotypes will be produced in the F2 generation? d) How did the genotypic and phenotypic ratio compare to each other in this incomplete dominance cross? e) What would the phenotypic ratio have been if this had been complete dominance? f) What kind of offspring can be produced if a red-flowered plant is crossed with a pink-flowered plant? g) What kind of offspring is/are produced if a pink-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant?
In watermelons, bitter fruit (B) is dominant over sweet fruit (b), and yellow spots (S) are dominant over no spots (s). The genes for these two characteristics assort independently. A homozygous plant that has bitter fruit and yellow spots is crossed with a homozygous plant that has sweet fruit and no spots. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. a. What are the phenotypic ratios in the F2? b. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the bitter, yellow-spotted parent, what phenotypes and proportions are expected in the offspring? c. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the sweet, unspotted parent, what phenotypes and proportions are expected in the offspring?
In a test cross, an individual dominant for a certain trait ( whether homozygous or heterozygous is unknown) is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual. A plant with spherical seeds is crossed with another plant. If the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring are 100% heterozygous and 100% dominant, what were the genotypes of the parents? (hint: try multiple crosses until you find what works) If the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring are 50% heterozygous spherical seeds and 50% wrinkled seeds, what were the genotypes of the parents?
In mice, black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b).A test cross was performed on a black mouse. Which of the following conclusions about the genotypes of the parental mice is the ONLY possibility for the given outcomes? Select one: a. If any of the offspring have white fur, the parental black mouse genotype is heterozygous. b. If all the offspring have white fur, the parental black mouse genotype is homozygous c. If all the offspring have black fur, the parental black mouse genotype is homozygous. d. If any of the offspring have white fur, the parental white mouse genotype is heterozygous.
In cats, the gene for calico (multicolored) cats is both sex-linked and codominant. Due to a phenomenon known as dosage compensation, females that receive a B and an R gene have black and orange splotches on white Males can only be black or orange, but never calico. a. What would a calico cat’s genotype be? b. Show the cross of a female calico cat with a black male. What percentage of the kittens will be black and male? c. What percentage of the kittens will be calico and male? d. What percentage of the kittens will be calico and female? e. Show the cross of a female black cat with a male orange cat. f. What percentage of the kittens will be calico and female? What color will all the male cats be?
A) In these plants, green leaf color is dominant to yellow leaf color. You are given a plant with green leaves and are asked to determine its genotype. What type of cross will you perform? B) The results of this cross are: 50% green leaf plants and 50% yellow leaf plants. What is the genotype of the green leaf plant you were given?
In cucumbers, orange fruit color (R) is dominant over cream fruit color (r). A cucumber plant homozygous for orange fruit is crossed with a plant homozygous for cream fruit. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. Q. Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents, the F1, and the F2.
Petunia flower color is governed by two alleles, but neither allele is truly dominant over the other. Petunias with the genotype RR are red-flowered, those that are heterozygous (RW) are pink, while those with the (WW) genotype have white flowers. This is an example of incomplete dominance. a. If a white-flowered plant is crossed with a red-flowered plant, what is the genotypic ratio of the F1. b. What is the phenotypic ratio of the F1. c. If two of the F1 offspring were crossed, what phenotypes would appear in the F2?. d. What would be the genotypic ratio in the F2 generation?
A true breeding plant that produces elongated fruits is crossed to a true breeding plant that produces round fruits. The offspring of this cross all have oval-shaped fruit. Which of the following is true? A. This involves two genes, one that controls the length of the fruit and one that controls the width. B. This long allele is epistatic over the short allele. C. The long allele is dominant over the short allele. D. The long allele is incompletely dominant over the short allele.
The presence of freckles is a dominant trait. Cross a homozygous freckled man with a homozygous nonfreckled woman. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring? a.
