More Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment Consider the following cross: P1: AABBCCDDEE aabbccddee F1: AaBbCcDdEe (self-cross to get F2) What is the chance of getting an AaBBccDdee individual in the F2 generation?
More Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment Consider the following cross in pea plants, in which smooth pea shape is dominant to wrinkled, and yellow pea color is dominant to green. A plant with smooth yellow peas is crossed to a plant with wrinkled green peas. The offspring produced peas that were all smooth and yellow. What are the genotypes of the parents? What are the genotypes of the offspring?
Crossing Pea Plants: Mendels Study of Single Traits An unspecified characteristic controlled by a single gene is examined in pea plants. Only two phenotypic states exist for this trait. One phenotypic state is completely dominant to the other. A heterozygous plant is self-crossed. What proportion of the progeny of plants exhibiting the dominant phenotype is homozygous?
Crossing Pea Plants: Mendels Study of Single Traits Stem length in pea plants is controlled by a single gene. Consider the cross of a true-breeding long-stemmed variety to a true-breeding short-stemmed variety in which long stems are completely dominant. a. If 120 F1 plants are examined, how many plants are expected to be long stemmed? Short stemmed? b. Assign genotypes to both P1 varieties and to all phenotypes listed in (a). c. A long-stemmed F1 plant is self-crossed. Of 300 F2 plants, how many should be long stemmed? Short stemmed? d. For the F2 plants mentioned in (c), what is the expected genotypic ratio?
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. 8lOroundseeds b. 8lOwrinkledseeds c. 405:395 round seeds:wrinkled seeds d. 610:190 round seeds:wrinkled seeds
In sweet pea plant, an allele for purple flowers (P) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for red flowers (p). An allele for long pollen grains (L) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for round pollen grain (l). Bateson and Punnett crossed a plant having purple flowers/long pollen grains with one having white/flowers/round pollen grains. All F1 offspring had purple flowers and long pollen grains. Among the F2 generation, the researchers observed the following phenotypes: 296 purple flowers/long pollen grains 19 purple flowers/round pollen grains 27 red flowers/long pollen grains 85 red flowers/round pollen grains What is the best explanation for these results?
Three genes in fruit flies affect a particular trait, andone dominant allele of each gene is necessary to get awild-type phenotype.a. What phenotypic ratios would you predict amongthe progeny if you crossed triply heterozygous flies?b. You cross a particular wild-type male in successionwith three tester strains. In the cross with one testerstrain (AA bb cc), only 1/4 of the progeny are wildtype. In the crosses involving the other two testerstrains (aa BB cc and aa bb CC), half of the progeny are wild type. What is the genotype of thewild-type male?
In chickens, some varieties have feathered shanks (legs), but othersdo not. In a cross between a Black Langhans (feathered shanks)and a Buff Rocks (unfeathered shanks), the shanks of the F1 generation are all feathered. When members of the F1 generation arecrossed to each other, the F2 generation has a phenotypic ratio of15 feathered : 1 unfeathered. Suggest an explanation for this resul
Two alleles at one locus produce three distinctphenotypes. Two alleles of two genes lead tofive distinct phenotypes. Two alleles of six geneslead to 13 distinct phenotypes. (These statementsassume that the alleles at any one locus arecodominant or incompletely dominant andthat each gene makes an equal contributionto the phenotype.)a. Derive a formula to express this relationship. (Letn equal the number of genes.)b. Each of the most extreme phenotypes for a traitdetermined by two alleles at one locus are foundin a proportion of 1/4 in the F2 generation. If twoalleles of two genes determine the trait, each extreme phenotype will be present in the F2 as 1/16of the population.In common wheat (Triticum aestivum),kernel color varies from red to white andthe genes controlling the color act additively,that is, alleles for each gene are incompletelydominant and each gene contributes equallyto the color. A true-breeding red variety iscrossed to a true-breeding white variety, and1/256 of the F2…
In radishes, color and shape are each controlled by asingle locus with two incompletely dominant alleles.Color may be red (RR), purple (Rr), or white (rr) andshape can be long (LL), oval (Ll), or round (ll). Whatphenotypic classes and proportions would you expectamong the offspring of a cross between two plantsheterozygous at both loci?
