In venetian violets, three phenotypes occur with respect to flower color: a deep violet (almost back), a white, and a pale lavender. Two pale lavender flowered plants have been crossed. The F1 from this cross has individuals with deep violet flowers, with pale lavender flowers, and individuals with white flowers.
A. what are the parent genotypes?
B. what would the expected phenotypic ratio be in these F1 plants?
The petal color of a species of flowers is inherited along Mendelian ratios. A cross of two plants with red
flowers produces 1,068 plants with red flowers and 390 plants with yellow flowers.
A. Propose a model to explain the inheritance of red and yellow flowers.
B. Determine the probability of producing a plant with yellow flowers when a heterozygous plant with
red flowers is crossed with a homozygous plant with yellow flowers.

Select one: a. By performing a back cross with a recessive homozygote parent (B). If the A parent is homozygote for the dominant allele, then all the individuals from the F1 will display the dominant character. If the parent A was, instead, a heterozygote, then 50% of the F1 progeny will express the recessive character (homozygote recessive) and 50% the dominant one (heterozygotes). b. It is impossible to check such genotype without using specific molecular assays. c. By performing a back cross with a dominant homozygote parent (B). If the A parent is homozygote for the dominant allele, then all the individuals from the F1 will display the dominant character.arrow_forward
