MAKE CONNECTIONS The ABO blood type locus hasbeen mapped on chromosome 9. A father who has typeAB blood and a mother who has type O blood have achild with trisomy 9 and type A blood. Using this information, can you tell in which parent the nondisjunctionoccurred? Explain your answer. (See Figures 14.11and 15.13.)

What would this indicate? - Suppose you were to obtain a Chi-square value of 4.60 or lower in your data analysis (with 2 degrees of freedom). What would this indicate? - A heterozygous white-fruited squash plant is crossed with a yellow-fruited plant, yielding 200 seeds. Of these, 110 produce white-fruited plants while only 90 produce yellow-fruited plants. Are these results statistically significant?

- Neep help ASAP. A red flowered plant was crossed with a blue flowered plant and produced all purple flowered plants. When the purple flowered plants were crossed with each other they produced 5 red plants, 5 blue plants, 20 deep purple plants, 20 light lilac plants, and 30 purple plants How many genes are involved in the color production? Assume that red color is caused by an A allele and blue color by a B allele and determine the likely genotype of the plants in the F2 generation.arrow_forwardQ1. How many genes are there in contig1? Q2. what are the names of these genes? Q3. Which gene ha the largest span (i.e, the largest distance between the start and the end of the gene)?arrow_forward10. In pea plants, seed shape and seed color are controlled by genes located on different chromosomes. Seeds may be round (R) or wrinkled (r), with the allele for round seeds being dominant. Alleles for seed color are yellow and green, with the green allele (y) recessive to the yellow (Y) allele. If you cross an individual that is homozygous round and yellow with an individual that is homozygous for wrinkled and green, what is the genotype of the F1 individuals? Set up a Punnett square for the dihybrid cross.arrow_forward
- 3)Mendel found that crossing wrinkle-seeded (rr) plants with homozygous round-seeded(RR) plants produced only round-seeded plants. What genotype ratio and phenotyperatio can be expected from a cross between a wrinkle-seeded plant and a heterozygousplant for this characteristic?arrow_forward24) When mendel performed mono-hybrid crosses with opposing traits (i.e. purple and white flowers), what did he find in the F1 generation? He found an intermediate phenotype that had not been seen before in all of the F1 generation He found that one of the traits was absent from the F1 generation He found that one of the traits was only present in 25% of the F1 generation He found that each trait was found in 50% of the F1 generationarrow_forwardWhich is one of the seven characteristics that Mendel observed in pea plants? flower size seed texture leaf shape stem colorarrow_forward
