What is quantitative trait locus (QTL)? Suppose you wanted to search for QTLs influencing fruit size in tomatoes. Describe the general structure of a QTL experiment, including the kind of tomato strains you would use, how molecular markers should be distributed in the genome, how the genetic marker alleles should differ between the two strains, and how you would use the

What is a quantitative trait locus (QTL)? Does a QTL contain onegene or multiple genes? What technique is commonly used to identify QTLs?
Seed weight in a particular plant species is determined by pairs of alleles attwo loci (a+ a− and b+ b−) that are additive and equal in their effects. Plantswith genotype a− a− b− b− have seeds that average 1 g in weight, whereasplants with genotype a+ a+ b+ b+ have seeds that average 3.4 g in weight. Aplant with genotype a− a− b− b− is crossed with a plant of genotype a+ a+ b+b+.a. What is the predicted weight of seeds from the F1 progeny of this cross?b. If the F1 plants are intercrossed, what are the expected seed weights andproportions of the F2 plants?

- A new kind of tulip is produced that develops only purple or pink flowers. Assume that flower color is controlled by a single-gene locus and that the purple allele (C) is dominant to the pink allele (c). A random sample of 1000 tulips from a large cultivated field yields 847 purple flowers (out of which 476 are heterozygous) and 153 pink flowers. If p = frequency of C allele and q = frequency of the c allele. Calculate p and q. A. p = 0.4 q = 0.6 B. p = 0.61 q = 0.39 C. p = 0.847 q = 0.153 D. p = 0.82 q = 0.18arrow_forwardRegarding the analysis of single marker STR results used in forensic science.

- The flowers of 4 o'clock plants may be red, pink or white. Reds crossed to whites only produced pink offspring. When pink flowered plants were crossed with each other, they produced 113 red, 129 white, and 242 pink. It is hypothesized that these colors are controlled by a single gene pair of incompletely dominant alleles. Is this hypothesis acceptable on the basis of a Chi-square test? Show your solutions below.
