According to Mendel’s second law, in the crossing between homozygous individuals concerning two pairs of nonlinked alleles, AABB x aaBB, what are the genotypical and phenotypical proportions in F1 and F2?
What could be the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for a typical mendelian trait showed in the picture?
In Mendel’s 1866 publication as shown in Figure 1-4, he reports 705 purple-flowered (violet) offspring and 224 white-flowered offspring. The ratio he obtained is 3.15:1 for purple: white. How do you think he explained the fact that the ratio is not exactly 3:1?

- Mendel performs a cross using a true-breeding pea plant with round, yellow seeds and a true-breeding pea plant with green, wrinkled seeds. What is the probability that offspring will have green, round seeds? Calculate the probability for the F1 and F2 generations.arrow_forwardIn general terms, genes found on the same chromosome are linked, and will appear to defy Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment. This law states that alleles (Links to an external site.) for different traits (Links to an external site.) are transmitted (Links to an external site.) to offspring (Links to an external site.) independently of one another. Functionally, this means that in a dihybrid testcross, in which a heterozygote is crossed to a double homozygous recessive individual, the expected 1:1:1:1 ratio will not be obtained. Instead, lower than expected numbers of non-parentals will result, because these non-parental flies are the result of recombination during synapsis. Interestingly, and functionally important in this exercise, synapsis only occurs in female fruit flies, requiring that the heterozygote in any study of linkage must be the female. Determining the relative positions of linked genes on a chromosome can be accomplished by calculating the frequency of…arrow_forwardWhat part of this punnett square represents Mendel's Law of Segregation?
