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?
Hemophilia and color blindness are both recessive conditions caused by genes on the X chromosome. To calculate the recombination frequency between the two genes, you draw a large number of pedigrees that include grandfathers with both hemophilia and color blindness, their daughters (who presumably have one chromosome with two normal alleles and one chromosome with two mutant alleles), and the daughters sons. Analyzing all the pedigrees together shows that 25 grandsons have both color blindness and hemophilia, 24 have neither of the traits, 1 has color blindness only, and 1 has hemophilia only. How many centimorgans (map units) separate the hemophilia locus from the locus for color blindness?
In a diploid plant species, an F1 with the genotype Mm Rr Ss is test crossed to a pure breeding recessive plant with the genotype mm rr ss.

A purple flowering, smooth seed dihybrid plant (genotype PpSs) is test crossed with a white flowering, wrinkled seed plant (genotype ppss). These produce progeny in the following numbers of four phenotypes: 24:76:74:26 (purple flower + smooth seed coat: purple flower + wrinkled seed coat: white flower + smooth seed coat: white flower + wrinkled seed coat). a) What is the genotype of the original dihybrid plant? Specify which alleles are on each chromosome of the purple flowering, smooth seed plant (i.e. AB/ab or Ab/aB). b) How many map units separate the colour and seed coat genes? Show your calculations.

Match the term with the correct definition or example Product of a cross between true breeding plants that make yellow peas and true breeding plants that make green peas. A description of the alleles present in an individual at one or more loci. Example: MM or Mm or mm. Example: 11q1. 4-q2. 1", meaning it is on the long arm of chromosome 11, somewhere in the range from sub-band 4 of region 1 to sub-band 1 of region 2. Under a microscope, these look exactly the same. The centromere, banding, long arm, short arm, overall length, gene locations, and order of genes are exactly the same. However, nucleotide sequences in genes on the two chromosomes can differ. the unit of heredity, the sequence of nucleotides in the exon regions specifies the sequence of amino acids in a particular polypeptide Brown allele in eye color Red eye in fruit flies Ability to synthesize alcohol dehydrogenase in fruit flies…
