Imagine that you are performing a cross involving seed color in garden pea plants. What traits would you expect to observe in the F1 offspring if you cross true-breeding parents with green seeds and yellow seeds? Yellow seed color is dominant over green. a. only yellow-green seeds b. only yellow seeds c. 1:1 yellow seeds:green seeds d. 1:3 green seeds:yellow seeds
The F1 flies described in question 1 were mated with brown-eyed flies from a true-breeding line. What phenotypes would you expect the offspring to have? (a) all with red eyes (b) all with brown eyes (c) half with red eyes and half with brown eyes (d) red-eyed females and brown-eyed males (e) brown-eyed females and red-eyed males
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?
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
Tall tomato plants are produced by the action of a dominant D allele and dwarf plants by its allele. recessive d. The hair shaft is produced by a dominant H gene and the hairless shaft by its recessive allele h.A test cross was applied to a dihybrid plant and the following results were obtained;b. High-hairy 125c. High non-hairy 115d. Hairy dwarfs 117e. Non-hairy dwarfs 123 a. Diagram the cross indicating the genotype of each parent.b. What are the expected phenotypic proportions showing their absolute frequency?c. Do these loci segregate independently?d. Because?
Assume the height in a particular plant is determined by two pairs of unlinked polygenes, each effective allele contributes 5cm to a base height of 10cm.a. What are the heights of each parent?b. What height is to be expected in the F1 if there are no environmental effects?c. What is the expected phenotypic ratio in the F2
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. 810 round seedsb. 810 wrinkled seedsc. 405:395 round seeds:wrinkled seedsd. 610:190 round seeds:wrinkled seeds
In watermelons, bitter fruit (B) is dominant over sweet fruit (b), and yellow spots (S) are dominant over no spots (s). The genes for these two characteristics assort independently. A homozygous plant that has bitter fruit and yellow spots is crossed with a homozygous plant that has sweet fruit and no spots. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. a. What are the phenotypic ratios in the F2? b. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the bitter, yellow-spotted parent, what phenotypes and proportions are expected in the offspring? c. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the sweet, unspotted parent, what phenotypes and proportions are expected in the offspring?
Three genes in fruit flies affect a particular trait, and at least one dominant allele of each gene is necessary to get a wild-type phenotype. a. What phenotypic ratio would you predict among the progeny if you crossed triply heterozygous flies? b. You cross a particular wild-type male in succession with three tester strains. In the cross with one tester strain (AA bb cc), only 1/4 of the progeny are wild type. In the crosses involving the other two tester strains (aa BB cc and aa bb CC), half of the progeny are wild type. What is the genotype of the wild-type male? (Pls help asap!!)
a)1 The allele for tall pea plants is dominant over the allele for short pea plants. If two heterozygous plants are crossed, what will the genotypic and phenotypic ratios be? b)2 Purple flowers are dominant over white flowers, and green pods are dominant over yellow pods in pea plants. What would the probability be of producing a pea plant with white flowers and yellow pods from parent plants that are heterozygous for each trait? c)3 Red eyes are dominant on fruit flies but an x-linked recessive allele will produce white-eyed flies. If a pure breeding red-eyed female mates with a white-eyed male, what is the probability of white eyes in the F1 generation?
In summer squash, white fruit color (W) is dominant over yellow fruit color (w) and disk-shaped fruit (D) is dominant over sphere-shaped fruit (d).. If a squash plant true-breeding for white, disk-shaped fruit is crossed with a plant true-breeding for yellow, sphere-shaped fruit, what will the phenotypic and genotypic ratios be for: a. the F1 generation? b. the F2 generation? You must show the Punnett Square for the F2 generation!
Two organisms, AABBCCDDEE and aabbccddee, are mated to produce an F1 that is self-fertilized. If the capital letters represent dominant, independently assorting alleles: (a) how many different genotypes will occur in the F2? 3^5=243(AaBbCcDdEe) (b) what proportion of the F2 genotypes will be recessive for all five loci? (c) would you change your answers (a and/or b) if the initial cross occurred between AAbbCCddee X aaBBccDDEE parents? (d) would you change your answers (a and/or b) if the initial cross occurred between AABBCCDDEE X aabbccddEE parents?
