A series of experiments shows that oil content in a diploid grain is influenced by five genes (a through e) with additive alleles. The highest-producingstrain has 30o% oil content; the lowest has 10%. A plant of unknown genotype has an oil content of 22%.

Figure 8.10 In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white (p), and yellow peas (Y) are dominant to green (y). What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes for a cross between PpYY and ppYy pea plants? How many squares would you need to complete a Punnett square analysis of this cross?
Imagine that you are performing a cross involving seed texture in garden pea plants. You cross true-breeding round and wrinkled parents to obtain F1 offspring. Which of the following experimental results in terms of numbers of plants are closest to what you expect in the F2 progeny? a. 8lOroundseeds b. 8lOwrinkledseeds c. 405:395 round seeds:wrinkled seeds d. 610:190 round seeds:wrinkled seeds
Assume that three loci, each with two alleles (A and a, B and b, C and c), determine the difference in height between two homozygous strains of a plant. These genes are additive and equal in their effects on plant height. One strain (aa bb cc) is 10 cm in height. The other strain (AA BB CC) is 22 cm in height. The two strains are crossed, and the resulting F1 are interbred to produce F2 progeny. Give the phenotypes and the expected proportions of the F2 progeny.
If a cross is made between two plants that are heterozygous for two traits (AaBb), then their offspring should follow the 9:3:3:1 ratio. In this case, A is the dominant allele for purple leaves, and B is the dominant allelle for curly roots. If the two parents were crossed to yield 320 progeny, approximately how many plants with purple leaves and curly roots would you expect? Group of answer choices a.180 b.225 c.25 d.50 As part of a lab experiment, you create a two-locus cross between two plants, and you expect to see a 8:4:2:2 ratio of offspring. You determine the phenotype for 160 offspring, and find the proportions 84:38:19:19. If you use a chi-square test to determine whether the offspring do indeed fit this pattern, how many degrees of freedom would the test have? Group of answer choices a.2 b.3 c.83 d.4
In an intra-species cross performed in mustard plants of two different species (Brassica juncea and Brassica oleracea), a tall plant (TT) was crossed with a dwarf (tt) variety in each of the two species. The members of the F1 generation were crossed to produce the F2 generation. Of the F2 plants, Brassica juncea had 60 tall and 20 dwarf plants, while Brassica oleracea had 100 tall and 20 dwarf plants. Use chi-square analysis to analyze these results.
Two true-breeding varieties of maize, one 11 cm high and the other 47 cm high were crossed and the resultant F1 hybrids were then crossed to generate the F2 . In the F2 there were a total of 13,923 plants with a continuous variation in heights between the two extremes and with only 3 plants as large as 47 cm high and 5 plants of 11 cm high. How many genes and how many alleles are involved in determining height in this plant?
