Suppose that red flower color (RR or Rr) is dominant to white flower color (rr) in a petunia. A friend has a petunia plant with red flowers and wants to determine whether the plant is RR or Rr. A) What cross could you perform to help your friend determine the genotype of his petunia plant? B) How will this cross help you determine the genotype of your friend's red- flowered petunia? That is, how will the results from this cross differ if the red-flowered petu nia is RR versus Rr?

The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?

In snapdragons, red flower color (R) is incompletely dominant over white flower color (r), so that the heterozygote has pink flowers. A red snapdragon is crossed with a white snapdragon, and the F1 are intercrossed to produce F2. What is the genotype and phenotypes of the F1 and F2, along with their expected proportions? If the F1 are backcrossed to the white parent, what will be the expected genotype and phenotype of the offspring? If the F1 are backcrossed to the red parent and the resulting progeny are intercrossed, what is the expected proportions of genotypes and phenotypes in the progeny?
