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?
Assume that plant height is determined by a pair of alleles at each of two loci (A and a, B and b) that are additive in their effects. Further assume that each allele represented by an uppercase letter contributes 6 feet to height and that each allele represented by a lowercase letter contributes 2 foot to height. If a plant with genotype Aabb is crossed to a plant with genotype aaBb, what heights are expected in the progeny? 1/216ft : 1/2 12ft 1/4 16ft : 1/2 12ft : 1/4 8ft 1/4 20ft : 1/2 16ft : 1/4 12ft 1/4 24ft : 1/2 20ft : 1/4 16ft 1/2 20ft : 1/2 16ft

From a presumed testcross of 2 plants of genotype Aa x aa (in which A represents red and a represents white petals on a plant) we get 5000 red petal plants, and 5400 white petals plants. Using the Chi-squared test, what chi-squared value do we get for this?
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.
Wheat kernel color is an additive trait controlled by two genes, gene A and gene B. The A1 and B1 alleles add 1 unit of color to the kernels. The A2 and B2 alleles add 0 units of color to the kernels.

In birds, wingspan is determined by two genes, one with complete dominance of one allele over the other, one with additive effects. Birds with genotype aabb has 16 cm long wingspan, whereas those with AABB has 20 cm long wingspan. A cross between AABB and aabb parents produced F1 with 19cm wingspan. Crossing the F1s produced F2 with the following phenotypes (in cm): NOTE: In a normal distribution of values, 68% of them will fall within the range of the mean less one standard deviation and the mean plus one standard deviation. Compute for: a. compute for number of classes b. compute for the range c. compute for the interval
A corn plant with this genotype AABBCCDD is 72cm tall which is crossed with plant aabbccdd which is 24cm tall. All F1 averaged 48cm in height. (Each effective allele contributes 6cm to the base). How tall are these individuals? Indicate the contributing alleles for AaBbCcDd, aaBbccdd, AABbCcDD, aabbCcDd, AABbCcDd with solution.
