Concept explainers
(a)
To determine:
The probability of the off springs in the F2 generation if the F1 generation’s genotype is AaBbCcDd is, (a) aabbccdd (b) AaBbCcDd (c) AaBBccDd, (d) AaBBCCdd.
Introduction:
Tetrahybrid crosses involve e the use of 4 traits in consideration that produces 16 gametes in total. The possibilities can be 256. Each parent of the F1 generation will produce 16 gametes.
To determine:
The probability of the off springs in the F2 generation with genotype aabbccdd.
(b)
To determine:
The probability of the offsprings in the F2 generation with genotype AaBbCcDd.
(c)
To determine:
The probability of the offsprings in the F2 generation with genotype AaBBccDd.
(d)
To determine:
The probability of the offsprings in the F2 generation with genotype AaBBCCdd.

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 seedsarrow_forwardImagine 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 seedsarrow_forward
- How can the order of three linked genes (A, B, and C) on the same chromosome be determined? A. Calculating the frequency of recombination between genes. B. Gene order cannot be determined by looking at the results of a cross. C. Look for parental phenotypes. D. Look for single-crossover phenotypes involving the wild-type and mutant alleles of genes A, B, and C.arrow_forwardA long-haired cat is crossed to a short-haired cat, both from purebreeding lines. All of the resulting offspring have short hair What types of offspring would result if you crossed one of the offspring to the long-haired parent? Group of answer choices A. all short B. ¼ short ¾ long C. half short and half long D. all long E. ¾ short, ¼ longarrow_forwardThe second-generation offspring of a cross between individuals who are homozygous for different alleles of a gene are called the_____ . a.

- A heterozygous individual is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual. a. Draw a Punnett square to represent this cross. b. What is the probability that an offspring will have a homozygous genotype? c. What is the probability that an offspring will have a dominant phenotype? d. What is the probability that three offspring will be produced that all carry the recessive allele but do not express the recessive phenotype?arrow_forwardIn one of Mendel’s dihybrid crosses, he observed315 round, yellow; 108 round, green; 101 wrinkled,yellow; and 32 wrinkled, green F2 plants. Analyze thesedata using the x2 test to see if(a) they fit a 9:3:3:1 ratio.(b) the round:wrinkled data fit a 3:1 ratio.(c) the yellow:green data fit a 3:1 ratio.arrow_forwardWhat is the most likely combination of genotypes for a cross between two heterozygous individuals, using these alleles; B is dominant to b? a 2BB and 2bb b 1BB, 2Bb, and 1bb c 1BB, 1Bb, and 2bb d 3BB and 1bbarrow_forward
- A plant that is homozygous for the recessive yellow pod color is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous. Which phenotype will appear MOST in the offspring? A. There will only be plants with green pods. B. There will be more plants with green pods. C. There will be more plants with yellow pods. D. Plants with yellow and green pods will appear in equal numbers.arrow_forwardIn a trihybrid cross involving three traits where the parents are AaBbCc. (a) What is the probability of them producing an offspring recessive for all three traits? (b) What is the probability of offspring with phenotype A_bbc_?arrow_forwardIn a cross between a black and a white guinea pig, all members of the F1 generation are black. The F2 generation is made up of approximately 3/4 black and 1/4 white guinea pigs. (a) Diagram this cross, showing the genotypes and phenotypes. (b) What will the offspring be like if two F2 white guinea pigs are mated? (c) Two different matings were made between black members of the F2 generation, with the following results.
