Chapter 15.5, Problem 2CC
Reciprocal crosses between two primrose varieties, A and B. produced the following results: A female × B male → offspring with all green (nonvariegated) leaves; B female × A male → offspring with patterned (variegated) leaves. Explain these results.

shows the results of a dihybrid cross involving seed shape and seed color. a. What proportion of the round and yellow F2 progeny from this cross is homozygous at both loci? b. What proportion of the round and yellow F2 progeny from this cross is homozygous at least at one locus?
A plant believed to be heterozygous for a pair of allelesB/b (where B encodes yellow and b encodes bronze) wasselfed, and, in the progeny, there were 280 yellow and120 bronze plants. Do these results support the hypothesis that the plant is B/b?

- 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.

The members of the F1 generation were crossed to produce the F2 generation. Of the F2 plants, Brassica juncea had 60 tall and 20 dwarf plants, while Brassica oleracea had 100 tall and 20 dwarf plants. Use chi-square analysis to analyze these results.arrow_forwardIn sweet peas, the synthesis of purple anthocyanin pigment in the petals is controlled by two genes, B and D.

- When two plants belonging to the same genus but different species are crossed, the F1 hybrid is more viable and has more ornate flowers. Unfortunately, this hybrid is sterile and can only be propagated by vegetative cuttings. Explain the sterility of the hybrid and what would have to occur for the sterility of this hybrid to be reversed.arrow_forwardSome sweet-pea plants have purple flowers and others have white flowers. A homozygous variety of sweet pea that has purple flowers is crossed with a homozygous variety that has white flowers. All the F1 have purple flowers.
