Two true-breeding Triffid strains (poison stingers and no stingers) are crossed. All F1 progeny have poison stingers. The F1 is selfed to produce an F2. A scientist carefully collects samples of F2 plants that have poison stingers. She does not collect any plants without poison stingers. What proportion of the plants that she collected will be true-breeding? Instructions Enter a number between 0 and 100, for example: 33 If you think the correct answer is a fraction, round to the closest whole number Do not enter anything else other than the number. Do not add '%' or 'percent' or anything else, just the number

A cross was made between two strains of plants that are agriculturallyimportant. One strain was disease-resistant but herbicide-sensitive;the other strain was disease-sensitive but herbicide-resistant. Aplant breeder crossed the two plants and then allowed the F1 generation to self-fertilize. The following data were obtained:F1 generation: All offspring are disease-sensitive andherbicide-resistantF2 generation: 157 disease-sensitive, herbicide-resistant57 disease-sensitive, herbicide-sensitive54 disease-resistant, herbicide-resistant20 disease-resistant, herbicide-sensitiveTotal: 288Formulate a hypothesis that you think is consistent with the observeddata. Test the goodness of fit between the data and your hypothesisusing a chi square test. Explain what the chi square results mean

The garden flower Salpiglossis sinuata (paintedtongue) comes in many different colors. Severalcrosses are made between true-breeding parentalstrains to produce F1 plants, which are in turn selffertilized to produce F2 progeny.Parents F1 phenotypes F2 phenotypesred × blue all red 102 red, 33 bluelavender × blue all lavender 149 lavender, 51 bluelavender × red all bronze 84 bronze, 43 red, 41 lavenderred × yellow all red 133 red, 58 yellow, 43 blueyellow × blue all lavender 183 lavender, 81 yellow, 59 bluea.

In a cross between true-breeding yellow and truebreeding lavender plants, all of the F1 progeny arebronze. If you used these F1 plants to produce anF2 generation, what phenotypes in what ratioswould you expect?

Summer squash exist in long, spherical, or disk shapes. When atrue-breeding long-shaped strain was crossed to a true-breedingdisk-shaped strain, all of the F1 offspring were disk-shaped. Whenthe F1 offspring were allowed to self-fertilize, the F2 generationconsisted of a ratio of 9 disk-shaped to 6 round-shaped to 1 longshaped. Assuming the shape of summer squash is governed by twodifferent genes, with each gene existing in two alleles, propose amechanism to account for this 9:6:1 ratio
