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
The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in red. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color-blind if the father is a normal man? If the father is color-blind?
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?

4. An albino corn snake is crossed with a normal-coloredcorn snake. The offspring are all normal-colored.When these first-generation progeny snakes arecrossed among themselves, they produce 32 normalcolored snakes and 10 albino snakes.a. How do you know that only a single gene is responsible for the color differences between these snakes?
1. While hiking your find a wild growing pea plant with purple flowers. You know that purple pea flowers are dominant to white pea flowers, but from looking at the plant, you cannot be certain if it is homozygous dominant or heterozygous. Explain the cross you could set up to determine the genotype of the wild pea plant and which results would indicate it is heterozygous versus homozygous. 2. Using skin color as an example of a multifactorial trait, explain why skin color produces a wide range of possible phenotypes within the human population.
