A pea plant is heterozygous for three genes (Tt Rr Yy), whereT = tall, t = dwarf, R = round seeds, r = wrinkled seeds, Y = yellowseeds, and y = green seeds. Tall, round, and yellow are the dominanttraits. What is the probability that an offspring from self-fertilizationof this plant will be tall with wrinkled, yellow seeds?

. The production of pigment in the outer layer of seedsof corn requires each of the three independently assorting genes A, C, and R to be represented by at leastone dominant allele, as specified in Problem 64. Thedominant allele Pr of a fourth independently assortinggene is required to convert the biochemical precursorinto a purple pigment, and its recessive allele pr makesthe pigment red. Plants that do not produce pigmenthave yellow seeds. Consider a cross of a strain of genotype A/A ; C/C ; R/R ; pr/pr with a strain of genotypea/a ; c/c ; r/r ; Pr/Pr.a. What are the phenotypes of the parents?b. What will be the phenotype of the F1?c. What phenotypes, and in what proportions, willappear in the progeny of a selfed F1?d. What progeny proportions do you predict from thetestcross of an F1?
In a certain species of flowering plants with a diploidgenome, four enzymes are involved in the generationof flower color. The genes encoding these four enzymes are on different chromosomes. The biochemical pathway involved is as follows; the figure showsthat either of two different enzymes is sufficient toconvert a blue pigment into a purple pigment.→ white → green → blue → purpleA true-breeding green-flowered plant is mated with atrue-breeding blue-flowered plant. All of the plants inthe resultant F1 generation have purple flowers. F1plants are allowed to self-fertilize, yielding an F2 generation. Show genotypes for P, F1, and F2 plants, andindicate which genes specify which biochemicalsteps. Determine the fraction of F2 plants with thefollowing phenotypes: white flowers, green flowers,blue flowers, and purple flowers. Assume the greenflowered parent is mutant in only a single step ofthe pathway
Mendelian ratios are modified in crosses involving autotetraploids.Assume that one plant expresses the dominant trait greenseeds and is homozygous (WWWW).

Waxy endosperm (wx), virescent seedling (v), and shrunken endosperm (sh) are all recessive mutants in corn. Waxy and shrunken are both on chromosome IX, located 18 map units apart. Virescent is on chromosome V and is not linked to the other loci. A strain of corn that is homozygous for waxy and virescent is crossed to a strain that is homozygous for shrunken endosperm. The F1 were entirely wild type. An F1 individual was then test crossed to a strain that is homozygous for waxy, virescent, and shrunken. Of 1,000 offspring, how many of the offspring will be virescent and shrunken, but not waxy? Using the information from Problem 1, how many of the offspring will be waxy, virescent, and shrunken?
Normally, wild violets have yellow petals with darkbrown markings and erect stems. Imagine you discover a plant with white petals, no markings, andprostrate stems. What experiment could you performto determine whether the non-wild-type phenotypesare due to several different mutant genes or to thepleiotropic effects of alleles at a single locus? Explainhow your experiment would settle the question.

Three recessive traits in garden pea plants are as follows: yellowpods are recessive to green pods, bluish green seedlings are recessiveto green seedlings, creeper (a plant that cannot stand up) isrecessive to normal. A true-breeding normal plant with green podsand green seedlings was crossed to a creeper with yellow pods andbluish green seedlings. The F1 plants were then crossed to creeperswith yellow pods and bluish green seedlings. The following resultswere obtained: 2059 green pods, green seedlings, normal151 green pods, green seedlings, creeper281 green pods, bluish green seedlings, normal15 green pods, bluish green seedlings, creeper2041 yellow pods, bluish green seedlings, creeper157 yellow pods, bluish green seedlings, normal282 yellow pods, green seedlings, creeper11 yellow pods, green seedlings, normal Construct a genetic map that indicates the map distances betweenthese three genes?
