DRAW IT Ø Pea plants heterozygous for flower position and stem length (AaTt) are allowed to self-pollinate, and 400 of the resulting seeds are planted. Draw a Punnett Square for this cross. How many offspring would be predicted to have terminal flowers and be dwarf? (See Table 14.1.)

- list all gamets that could be made by a pea plant heterozygous for seed colour, seed shape and pod shape(Yy, Rr, Ii) what size punnett square would you need to determine offspring of self pollination of this hybridarrow_forwardTall plant (D) is dominant to dwaf (d), and purple flower color (W) is dominant to white flower color (w). In order to determine the genotype of a tall plant with purple flowers, you decide to conduct a test cross. What should be the genotype of the plant you use to carry out the test cross?arrow_forwardA cross is made between a pea plant that is RrYy and one that isrrYy. What is the predicted outcome of the seed phenotypes?a. 9 round, yellow : 3 round, green : 3 wrinkled, yellow :1 wrinkled, greenb. 3 round, yellow : 3 round, green : 1 wrinkled, yellow :1 wrinkled, green c. 3 round, yellow : 1 round, green : 3 wrinkled, yellow :1 wrinkled, greend. 1 round, yellow : 1 round, green : 1 wrinkled, yellow :1 wrinkled, greenarrow_forward
- Character Seed Shape Round (R) Wrinkled (r) Seed Color Yellow (Y) Green (y) Pod Shape Inflated (I) Constricted (i) If a plant that is heterozygous for all theses characters is crossed with a plant homozygous dominant for seed shape and seed color and heterozygous for pod shape, what proportion of the offspring would you expect to be as follows: 1. Homozygous dominant for the three characters. (Answer in fraction) ____ 2. Recessive for the three characters. (Answer in fraction) _________ 3. Heterozygous dominant for the three characters. Answer in fraction) _______arrow_forwardA horticulturist runs a test cross with an offspring (F1 generation) purple plant from Question 8. The phenotypic frequencies of the resulting offspring are 50% white and 50% purple. What is the true genotype of this offspring (F1 generation) purple plant?arrow_forwardWe cross two short, non-purple F2 plants. What ratio of the progency will be short and non-purple in the F3 generation? 9/16 16/16 1/16 3/-6arrow_forward
- A Tt plant is crossed to a tt plant. What is the expected ratio of phenotypesfor offspring from this cross?a. 3 tall : 1 dwarfb. 1 tall : 1 dwarfc. 1 tall : 3 dwarfd. 2 tall : 1 dwarfarrow_forwardA pea plant that is (RrYy) is allowed to self-fertilize. Round seed(R) is dominant to wrinkled (r), and yellow seed (Y) is dominant togreen (y). What is the probability of producing the following groupof five seeds: two round, yellow; one round, green; one wrinkled,yellow; and one wrinkled, green?arrow_forwardA) Describe the data you collect from the Purple 1 x Purple 2 cross. Predict the genotype of each of the parent plants. Explain your predictions using data from the experiment. (Again, you may need to use data from other crosses!) B) Consider the offspring, the next generation (F1), from the Purple 1 x Purple 2 cross. What is the probability of a green stem plant? How do you know this? C) What is the probability in the F2 generation of a green stem offspring? Use a Punnett square(s) and quantitative data to explain your thinking. Upload your Punnett square(s).arrow_forward
- A male plant with genotype AaBBCcDdee was crossed with one heterozygous for all thegenes. (a) what is the probability of getting a pollen with ABcDe genes? (b) of producing anovum with three dominant and two recessive genes? (c) of getting a progeny with samephenotype as the female parent? (d) of progeny with exactly same genotype as the femaleparent? (e) If instead of the above male, the cross was with one heterozygous for all thegenes, what proportion of the offspring will have three dominant phenotypic traits. (f) willbe genotypically like the parents?arrow_forwardfigure shows the results of a dihybrid cross involving seed shape and seed color. Q. What proportion of the round and yellow F2 progeny from this cross is homozygous at least at one locus?arrow_forwardA parent pea plant with the genotype Ttrr produces offspring in which half are tal and round and half are short and round. What’s the genotype of the other parent?arrow_forward
