Most of the individuals of a certain wildflower population have yellow flowers, although a few are white-flowered. Crosses have demonstrated that allele for yellow flower (Y) is dominant over the allele for white (y). If two heterozygous yellow-flowered plants are crossed, what fraction of the offspring do you expect to be white? Show your solution.

Most of the individuals of a certain wildflower population have yellow flowers, although a few are white-flowered. Crosses have demonstrated that allele for yellow flower (Y) is dominant over the allele for white (y).

The bird species described in question 5 has an ornamental plumage on its head. The plumage feathers are either flexible or stiff. The allele for flexible plumage is dominant over the allele for stiff plumage. A male who is heterozygous for plumage and has silver-tipped wings mates with a female who has stiff plumage with silver-tipped wings. What types of offspring would be expected from this cross? Give the probability of each.
Suppose a species of tulip has three alleles for the gene that codes for flower color. The CR allele produces red tulips, the CB allele produces blue tulips, and the CW allele produces white tulips. Both CR and CB are dominant over CW, but CR and CB are incompletely dominant with each other, so CRCB heterozygotes have purple flowers. What is the expected phenotypic ratio in the offspring of the following crosses, in the order red : blue : purple : white? Enter your answers as the most simplified ratio (e.g. 1 : 2 : 1 : 1 instead of 2 : 4 : 2 : 2). Enter 0 if none of the offspring from a cross will be a particular color. CRCB × CBCW _____ red : ______blue : ______purple : ______white CRCB × CRCW - _______red : _____blue : _____purple : _____white CRCW × CBCW - _____red : _____blue : _____purple : _____white CRCB × CRCB - red : blue : purple : white
Which of the following F2 phenotypic ratios show codominance? Assume you are starting with a parental cross of true-breeders and the F1 offspring is self-crossed. 3:1 2:1 1:1 1:2:1 1:1:1:1
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?
In corn plants, a dominant allele Z inhibits kernel color, while the recessive allele z permits color when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant allele X causes purple kernel color, while the homozygous recessive genotype causes red kernel color. If corn plants heterozygous for both the Z and X genes are crossed, what are the chances that the offspring will have purple kernels? Enter your answer as a decimal fraction in the box (e.g. 0.25).
If a red flower is crossed with a white flower to produce an offspring with red and white petals, what is the relationship between the alleles for flower color? show your solution using punett square
A tall pea plant (homozygous dominant) is crossed to a pea plant that is heterozygous for the gene for height. Create a Punnett Square and use it to answer the following questions: What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring? What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring? Answers are written as genotype; phenotype a) 50% TT : 50% Tt; 100% tall plants b) 1 TT : 2 Tt : 1tt; 75% tall plants : 25% dwarf plants c) 1 TT : 2 Tt : 1tt; 25% tall plants : 50% medium height plants : 25% dwarf plants
In pea plants, the allele for yellow seeds is dominant to the allele for green seeds. If a plant that has heterozygous yellow seeds is crossed with one that has only homozygous green seeds, what percent of their first generation offspring would you expect to have green seeds? 50 percent 100 percent 0 percent 25 percent
Two true-breeding stocks of guinea pigs are crossed. One parent has red eyes, short tail and the other has white eyes, long tai; all F1 individuals have red eyes, short tail. If 1,000 F2 offspring resulted from the cross, approximately how many of them would you expect to have red eyes, long tail? (Assume independent assortment).
