You inspect an ear of corn and find the following number of kernels: 461 red and starch, 142 red and sweet, 156 yellow and starchy and 53 yellow and sweet. a. What genotype did the parent corn plants probably have? b. Support your answer by working out the cross with a Punnett square
Suppose that goats have one gene that codes for color, where A is brown and a is white. The goats also have another gene that codes for height, where B is tall and b is short. If these two genes are unlinked, what is the probability that a cross between Aa Bb × Aa bb parents will produce two out of six offspring that are brown and short? Provide answer as a decimal, rather than as a percentage.
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

Two gene loci, A and B, are on separate chromosomes and alleles A and B are dominant over alleles a and b. A codes for long branches, a codes for short branches. B codes for green leaves and b codes for blue leaves. A branch diagram or a punnett square would be useful for you to work this problem. What percentage of the progeny will have short branches and blue leaves from a cross AaBb × Aabb? Group of answer choices 1/8 1/4 1/2 3/4
