In squash, fruit color is determined by one gene and fruit shape by another independently segregating gene. The white fruit allele (W) is dominant to yellow fruit allele (w) and disk shape fruit allele (D) is dominant to round-shaped fruit allele (d). A cross between a white-colored, disk-shaped squash and a white colored, round-shaped squash resulted the following offspring: 31 white, disk; 29 white, round; 9 yellow, disk; 10 yellow, round. a. What are the genotypes of the two plants that were crossed? b. Using the chi-square test, determine if your answer in letter a is acceptable. Chi computed Degree of freedom Chi tabulated Conclusion

Incomplete dominance: Draw a Punnett square for a pink snapdragon with a red snapdragon. In snapdragons, pink coloration is a result of incomplete dominance between the alleles for red and white color. What color are the flowers of the offspring? Use the paperclip icon to upload your image.
Sesame plants produce seed pods with one chamber (O) or three chambers (o), and leaves that are normal (N) or wrinkled (n). The two traits are inherited independently. Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the two parents that produced the following offspring: 304 with one-chamber pods and normal leaves; 100 one-chamber pods and wrinkled seeds; 298 with three-chamber pods and normal leaves; 103 with three chamber pods and wrinkled leaves.
Do a punnet square to find the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 generation when a plant that is homozygous recessive for pod color and heterozygous for pea shape is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for pod color and homozygous dominant for pea shape. Dominant for pod color = G (green) Recessive for pod color = g (yellow) Dominant for pea shape = R (round) Recessive for pea shape = r (wrinkled) P1: GG X Rr Gg X RR
A man with red hair (hh) reproduces with a heterozygotic woman (Hh). Does the woman have red hair? What about their children? Create a Punnett square and determine the ratio or percentage of their offspring that have red hair. As stated in the discussion of independent assortment and dihybrids above, pea color and coat texture are independent traits in pea plants. Yellow (G) is dominant over green (g) and smooth (W) is dominant over wrinkled (w). What would the phenotypic ratios of the offspring of parents with genotypes GGww and ggwW? Show your work with a Punnett square. Review the information on Labrador retrievers above. What are the phenotypic ratios of the F1 generation offspring of two dihybrids? Make sure to match the numbers with coat colors (e.g, which number in the ration goes with which color). Use a Punnett square to determine the ratios and show your work. Make sure to state the phenotypic ratios. Finally, what color are the parents? Two other Labradors mate and…
The height of a certain plant is determined by a dominant allele T corresponding to tall plants, and a recessive allele t corresponding to short (or dwarf) plants. If both parent plants have genotype Tt, compute the probability that the offspring plants will be tall. Hint: Draw a Punnett square.
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 pea plants, tall (T) is the dominant allele in plant height over short (t) and the yellow color allele (Y) is dominant over the green color allele (y) for seed color. Parents heterozygous for both traits are cross-pollinated. Determine the frequency for the four different phenotypes of the offspring. Tall plant, yellow seeds: __________ / 16 Tall plant, green seeds: _________ / 16Short plant, yellow seeds: _________ / 16 Short plant, green seeds: _______ / 16 Pure-breeding yellow (Y) canaries (a canary is a type of bird) crossed with pure-breeding blue (y) canaries make green canaries. Identify the genotypic and phenotypic ratios when you cross a green canary with a blue canary. What type of inheritance pattern is this? _______________________________________________ Genotypic Ratio: _________________________________ Phenotypic Ratio: ________________________________
Short is recessive to tall. Green pods are dominant to yellow as inflated pods are dominant to constricted pods. A pure-bred tall plant with green and inflated pods is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for all of the traits. Calculate the probability of getting a plant seedling that is recessive for all of the traits. What is the probability of getting a tall plant with green and inflated pods?

In plants known as “morning glory”, the allele for the dominant red-flower color is incompletely dominant over the allele for white-flowers.
