In the Pea plants studied by Gregor Mendel, green pod colour is dominant over yellow pod colour. You have grown the same species in your garden and the plant is producing only green pods. You were guaranteed by the garden store that it was homozygous (pure-breeding) but you are not completely sure. Show how you can find out

Imagine that you are performing a cross involving seed color in garden pea plants. What traits would you expect to observe in the F1 offspring if you cross true-breeding parents with green seeds and yellow seeds? Yellow seed color is dominant over green. a. only yellow-green seeds b. only yellow seeds c. 1:1 yellow seeds:green seeds d. 1:3 green seeds:yellow seeds
The text outlines some of the problems Frederick William I encountered in his attempt to breed tall Potsdam Guards. a. Why were the results he obtained so different from those obtained by Mendel with short and tall pea plants? b. Why were most of the children shorter than their tall parents?
Use a Punnett square to predict the offspring in a cross between a dwarf pea plant (homozygous recessive) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous). What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring?
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?
Choose a trait from mendel’s sweet pea experiment and work out the problem of performing a monohybrid cross on two parents. Provide the genotype and phenotype of the parents and the F1 progeny. Then provide the the genotypes and phenotypes ratios in the f2 generations
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, What percentage will yield purple flowers?
Suppose you identify a new gene in mice. One of its alleles specifies white fur, another specifies brown. You want to see if these alleles are inherited in a Mendelian pattern, or with incomplete dominance. What crosses would give you the answer? Explain.
Mendel also studied tall and short varieties of pea plants. When he crossed tall x short plants together, the F1were tall. The tall F1 plants were self-hybridized to produce the F2. What proportion of phenotypes would be expected in the F2? 1:2:1 tall:intermediate:short 3:1 tall:short 1:1 tall:short 3:1 short:tall 1:2:1 intermediate:tall:short
you perform a cross of two heterozygous, red-eyed flies. They have 100 offspring. How many of these offspring do you predict will have red eyes? Show your work using a Punnett square. [Use letters R and r to designate the alleles]
Gregor Mendel’s pea plant experiments demonstrated that different characteristics are not necessarily inherited together. This is known as which of the following? Group of answer choices A-codominance B-genotypic disparity C-the principle of independent assortment D-the principle of segregation E-homozygote phenotype
Biology A cross to validate Mendels yellow green monohybrid cross experiment was performed with F1 offspring derived from truebreeding yellow and green parents. The F2 phenotypes observed in this reproduction of Mendels experiments were as follows Results yellow 1394 green 453 What chi square value do you calculate from this data? Selected Answer: A. 0.32 Answers: A. 0.32 B. a number less than 0.10 C. a number greater than 0.34 D. 0.13 E. 0.22
A genetic engineer is going to cross two watermelon plants to produce seeds for a spring planting. He is breeding for size, and wants to have as many watermelons with the phenotype for long shape as possible. In watermelons, the allele for short shape (R) is dominant to the allele for long shape (r). Would crossing a watermelon homozygous recessive for the trait with a watermelon heterozygous for the trait give the most long watermelons possible? Explain your answer using Punnett Squares.
