Two unlinked genes, A and B, encode very similar enzymes involved in the production of purple flower pigments in a particular plant species. Recessive, non-functional alleles a and b are available. If the A and B genes are functionall redundant, so a single functional copy of either gene is sufficient for purple pigmentation, what proportion of the progeny of a cross between AaBb double heterozygotes is expected to have white flowers?

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?
a. Among the progeny of a self-fertilized semisterilecorn plant heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation, what ratio do you expect for progeny plantswith normal fertility versus those showing semisterility? In this problem, ignore the rare gametesproduced by adjacent-2 segregation.b. Among the progeny of a particular self-fertilizedsemisterile corn plant heterozygous for a reciprocaltranslocation, the ratio of fertile to semisterileplants was 1:4. How can you explain this deviationfrom your answer to part (a)?
In maize trisomics, n + 1 pollen is not viable. If adominant allele at the B locus produces purple colorinstead of the recessive phenotype bronze and a B b btrisomic plant is pollinated by a B B b plant, whatproportion of the progeny produced will be trisomicand have a bronze phenotype?
In the fruit fly, recessive mutations in either of two independently assorting genes, brown and purple, prevent the synthesis of red pigment in the eyes. Thus, homozygotes for either of these mutations have brownish-purple eyes. However, heterozygotes for both of these mutations have dark red, that is, wild-type eyes. If such double heterozygotes are intercrossed, what kinds of progeny will be produced, and in what proportions?
This is a pedigree for a dominant trait caused by gene A in humans. Shaded symbols show individuals affected with the trait; non-shaded individuals are normal (aa). Among the progeny arising from the marriage of individual III-1, what proportion would be expected to show the trait? Among the progeny arising from the marriage of individual III-6, what proportion would be expected to show the trait?
A homozygous strain of corn that produces yellow kernels is crossed with another homozygous strain that produces purple kernels. When the F1 are interbred, 197 of the F2 are yellow and 153 are prurple. Give the genotypes of the yellow and purple F2 and propose a genetic model that explains the inheritance of these kernel colors in corn.
Three autosomal recessive mutations in yeast, all producing the same phenotype (m1, m2, and m3), are subjected to complementation analysis. Of the results shown below, which, if any, are alleles of one another? Predict the results of the cross that is not shown—that is, m2 * m3. Cross 1: m1 * m24 F1: all wild-type progeny Cross 2: m1 * m34 F1: all mutant progeny
In tomatoes, tall (D) is dominant over dwarf (d) and smooth fruit (P) is dominant over pubescent fruit (p), which is covered with fine hairs. A farmer has two tall and smooth tomato plants, which we will call plant A and plant B. The farmer crosses plants A and B with the same dwarf and pubescent plant and obtains the following numbers of progeny: Q. Explain why different proportions of progeny are produced when plant A and plant B are crossed with the same dwarf pubescent plant.
The crossing of two orange-flowering plants results in ~2/3 orange-flower progeny and ~1/3 white-flower progeny. The crossing of two orange-flowering F1 plants generates the same progeny ratios as observed for the parental cross, while the crossing of white-flowering F1 plants only produces white-flowering progeny. What is a likely explanation for these results?
In barley, a self-fertilizing species that can be crossed fertilized, two true-breeding strains with virescent leaves exist. In strain A, the trait is caused by a cytoplasmic gene. In strain B, it is caused by a recessive nuclear gene. What phenotypes would you expect among the progeny and in what proportions in each of the following: a cross between homozygous strain A and strain B reciprocal cross Self-fertilization of the F1 from a Self-fertilization of the F1 from b
In Drosophila, a cross was made between a yellowbodied male with vestigial (not fully developed)wings and a wild-type female (brown body). The F1generation consisted of wild-type males and wild-typefemales. F1 males and females were crossed, and theF2 progeny consisted of 16 yellow-bodied males withvestigial wings, 48 yellow-bodied males with normalwings, 15 males with brown bodies and vestigialwings, 49 wild-type males, 31 brown-bodied femaleswith vestigial wings, and 97 wild-type females.Explain the inheritance of the two genes in questionbased on these results.
