You have some corn plants and are interested in analyzing the inheritance of corn color (yellow vs blue) and have pure breeding strains. What is the first thing you should try do? do crosses to figure out if the trait shows dominance, incomplete dominance, sex linkage, etc. do a cross to see which color is dominant assume that blue is dominant to yellow and start doing crosses assume that yellow is dominant to blue and start doing crosses

A walnut comb rooster is mated to three hens. Hen A, which has a walnut comb, has offspring in the ratio of 3 walnut to 1 rose. Hen B, which has a pea comb, has offspring in the ratio of 3 walnut to 3 pea to 1 rose to 1 single. Hen C, which has a walnut comb, has only walnut comb offspring. What are the genotypes of the rooster and the three hens?
Imagine that you are performing a cross involving seed color in garden pea plants. What traits would you expect to observe in the F1 offspring if you cross true-breeding parents with green seeds and yellow seeds? Yellow seed color is dominant over green. a. only yellow-green seeds b. only yellow seeds c. 1:1 yellow seeds:green seeds d. 1:3 green seeds:yellow seeds
Professor John decided to breed bunnies during stay-at-home because why not. She performed the following cross:Parents:brown fur, gray nose x white fur, gray noseOffspring:3/8 white fur, gray nose1/8 white fur, white nose3/8 brown fur, gray nose 1/8 brown fur, white noseBased on the phenotypes of the offspring, what are the genotypes of the parents? Make sure you define your genotypes (ie B is brown fur, b is white fur)
In certain plants, the tall trait is dominant to the short trait. If a heterozygous plant is crossed with a homozygous short plant, what is the percentage that the offspring will be short? a. 100% b. 50% c. 25% d. 0%
In the Pea plants studied by Gregor Mendel, green pod colour is dominant over yellow pod colour. You have grown the same species in your garden and the plant is producing only green pods. You were guaranteed by the garden store that it was homozygous (pure-breeding) but you are not completely sure. Show how you can find out.
In MONSTERS having TEETH (T) is DOMINANT and NO TEETH (t) is RECESSIVEYou have a monster with teeth and would like to breed it to start a monster theme park. Monsters without teeth are more costly to care for because they need special food and they aren’t scary enough to work in your park, so you want to make sure you produce only monsters WITH TEETH.Tell the genotype of the monster you should use to do a test cross with your toothed monster. ________What is its PHENOTYPE? ____ _______________Show the results of test crossing BOTH OF THESE POSSIBLE PARENT GENOTYPES:
A roan bull is crossed to a white cow. The first 2 offspring turned out to be roan and white calves. Roan is a color obtained when cattle are heterozygous for the gene for red and white hairs. How is this trait inherited? _______________ Identify the genotype of the roan bull. ___________ Identify the genotype of the white cow.___________ Give the genotypic ratio. ___________________ Give the phenotypic ratio. ___________________ Show the Punnett square
Short is recessive to tall. Green pods are dominant to yellow as inflated pods are dominant to constricted pods. A pure-bred tall plant with green and inflated pods is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for all of the traits. Calculate the probability of getting a plant seedling that is recessive for all of the traits. What is the probability of getting a tall plant with green and inflated pods?
You cross a pea plant with the genotype AaBbCcDd with a pea plant that is AABbCCdd. What is the probability that you get an offspring with the genotype AaB_C_dd? Show your work
The gene for hair color in rabbits has two alleles: Q and q. Q is dominant and codes for brown hair and q is recessive and codes for white hair. Draw out the Punnett square for a genetic cross where one parent is heterozygous and the other parent is white-haired. What are the phenotypic and genotypic ratios? draw
In some plants, purple flower color is dominant to white flower color. If a plant that is homozygous dominant for purple flowercolor is crossed witha plant that h as homozygous recessive, what percentage of the offsprings will have white flowers? 1) 0% 2) 50% 3) 25% 4) 100%
A gardener pertorms a mononybra cross on two heterozygous orange-fruitea tomato plants. Plants expressing the recessive phenotype yield yellow tomato fruits. What percentage of the offspring will produce yellow tomatoes? A:75% B:50% C:100% D:25%
