A test cross between a plant of genotype PpSs and the tester white plant with wrinkled seed coat (ppss) gives the following numbers of progeny in four phenotypic types. 14:87:83:16 (purple flower + smooth seed coat: purple flower + wrinkled seed coat: white flower + smooth seed coat: white flower + wrinkled seed coat). a. What is the expected ratio of progeny phenotypes assuming independent assortment of alleles? b. Explain how ratios of progeny show that the two genes are linked. c. How many map units separate the purple and smooth genes? Show your calculations. d. What is the “parental” genotype of the heterozygous parent? (i.e. Which alleles of the P and S loci are present on each of the two chromosomes of the doubly heterozygous parent of this test cross?)
In tomatoes, tall plant (D) is dominant over dwarf plant (d) and smooth fruit (H) is dominant over hairy fruit (h). A farmer crosses tall plant that produces smooth tomatoes (plant A) with a dwarf and hairy fruit plant (plant B) and obtains the following results: Phenotype Offspring Tall & smooth fruit 3 Tall and hairy fruit 84 Dwarf and smooth fruit 88 Dwarf & hairy fruit 4 What is the map distance between the D and H alleles? 13.7 mu 14 mu 3.9 mu 17.2 mu 24.6 mu
. In common wheat, Triticum aestivum, kernel color is determined by multiply duplicated genes, each with an Rand an r allele. Any number of R alleles will give red, anda complete lack of R alleles will give the white phenotype.In one cross between a red pure line and a white pureline, the F2 was 6463 red and 641 white.a. How many R genes are segregating in this system?b. Show the genotypes of the parents, the F1, and the F2.c. Different F2 plants are backcrossed with the whiteparent. Give examples of genotypes that would give thefollowing progeny ratios in such backcrosses: (1) 1 red :1 white, (2) 3 red :1 white, (3) 7 red :1 white.d. What is the formula that generally relates thenumber of segregating genes to the proportion of redindividuals in the F2 in such systems?
J. W. McKay crossed a stock melon plant that produced tan seeds with a plant that produced red seeds and obtained the following results (J. W. McKay. 1936. Journal of Heredity 27:110–112). Cross F1 F2 tan ♀ × red ♂ 13 tan seeds 93 tan, 24 red seeds a. Explain the inheritance of tan and red seeds in this plant. b. Assign symbols for the alleles in this cross and give genotypes for all the individual plants.
Corn breeders obtained pure lines whose kernels turn sun red, pink, scarlet, or orange when exposed to sunlight (normal kernels remain yellow in sunlight). Some crosses between these lines produced the following results.

Fruit flies are very useful model organisms that have been used to study genetics. One mutant recessive trait in fruit flies is called "eyeless" because it causes flies to have no eyes. Cross an eyeless fly with a homozygous normal fly. a. Draw the Punnett square. b. What is the genotyoe ratio of the offspring? c. What is the phenotype ratio of the offspring? d. What genetic problem is this? (monohybrid, dihybrid or multiple allele)
A true breeding plant that produces elongated fruits is crossed to a true breeding plant that produces round fruits. The offspring of this cross all have oval-shaped fruit. Which of the following is true? A. This involves two genes, one that controls the length of the fruit and one that controls the width. B. This long allele is epistatic over the short allele. C. The long allele is dominant over the short allele. D. The long allele is incompletely dominant over the short allele.
Two pairs of genes (TTLL) are postulated to influence the size of corn in certain varieties with equal and additive effects. A tall corn variety averaging 6 feet was crossed with a dwarf corn variety averaging 2 feet. (a) If the size of the dwarf is attributed to the genotype (ttll), what is the effect of each gene that increases the size above 2 feet? (b) Diagram a cross between a large and small variety, and classify the expected F2 phenotypes.

Analyze thesedata using the x2 test to see if(a) they fit a 9:3:3:1 ratio.(b) the round:wrinkled data fit a 3:1 ratio.(c) the yellow:green data fit a 3:1 ratio.
A fungus with white spores cross fertilizes a fungus with black spores. If 10% of the progeny bear white spores while 90% of the progeny bear black spores, what must be true? A. The trait for spore color is determined by exactly one gene. B. The trait for spore color is determined by more than one gene. C. The allele for black spores is dominant over that for white spores. D. The allele for white spores is dominant over that for black spores. Photo attatched
