The text outlines some of the problems Frederick William I encountered in his attempt to breed tall Potsdam Guards. a. Why were the results he obtained so different from those obtained by Mendel with short and tall pea plants? b. Why were most of the children shorter than their tall parents?
shown are the F2 results of two Mendel's monohybrid crosses. Mendel crossed 2 heterozygote parents. If he were to expect segregation to happen normally, do the results match his expectations? state a null hypothesis that you will test using chi-square analysis. Calculate the chi-square value and determine the p value for both crosses a. Full pods: 882; constricted pods: 299 (full pods are dominant over constricted) b. violet flowers: 705; white flowers: 500 (violet dominant over white)
Mendel crossed two Pea plants for plant height and flower color Tall plant (T) is dominant to Short Plant (t). Purple Flower (P) is dominant to white flower (p). Using the following information perform the dihybrid cross using punnett squares that will predict all possible genotypes of the offspring and list the number and description of the phenotypes of the offspring. A. One plant homozygous dominant for plant height and flower color crossed with another plant homozygous recessive for plant height and heterozygous for flower color.
From a presumed testcross of 2 plants of genotype Aa x aa (in which A represents red and a represents white petals on a plant) we get 5000 red petal plants, and 5400 white petals plants. Using the Chi-squared test, what chi-squared value do we get for this?
Gray seed color in peas is dominant to white. Assume that Mendel conducted a series of experiments where plants with gray seeds were crossed with each other and the following progeny were produced: 320 gray and 80 white. (a) What is the most probable genotype of each parent? (b) Based on your answer in (a) above, what genotypic and phenotypic ratios are expected in the progeny?
Rough coat (R) is dominant over smooth coat (r) in guinea pigs, and black coat (B) is dominant over white (b). This pair of contrasting traits obeys both of Mendel’s laws. If a homozygous rough black is mated with a homozygous smooth white, give the appearance of each of the following: F1; F2; offspring of F1 mated with smooth, white parent; offspring of F1mated with rough, black parent.
Assume that plant height is determined by a pair of alleles at each of two loci (A and a, B and b) that are additive in their effects. Further assume that each allele represented by an uppercase letter contributes 6 feet to height and that each allele represented by a lowercase letter contributes 2 foot to height. If a plant with genotype Aabb is crossed to a plant with genotype aaBb, what heights are expected in the progeny? 1/216ft : 1/2 12ft 1/4 16ft : 1/2 12ft : 1/4 8ft 1/4 20ft : 1/2 16ft : 1/4 12ft 1/4 24ft : 1/2 20ft : 1/4 16ft 1/2 20ft : 1/2 16ft
Mendel crossed peas having round seeds and yellow cotyledons (seed leaves) with peas having wrinkled seeds and green cotyledons. All the F1 plants had round seeds with yellow cotyledons. Diagram this cross through the F2 generation, using both the Punnett square and forked-line, or branch diagram, methods.
What could be the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for a typical mendelian trait showed in the picture?
A cross is performed between a pure-breeding pea plant with round and yellow seeds and a pure-breeding pea plant with wrinkled and green seeds. All F1 progeny have round and yellow seeds. The F1 plants are self-crossed. The following results are observed in the resultant F2 generation: 65 round and yellow, 42 round and green, 50 wrinkled and yellow, and 45 wrinkled and green. Use a Chi Square analysis to determine whether these traits follow Mendel’s law of independent assortment. Show all calculations
