Textbook Question
Chapter 29, Problem 5EQ
F 1 hybrids between two species of cotton, Gossypium barbadense and Gossypium hirsutum, are very vigorous plants. However, F1 crosses produce many seeds that do not germinate and a high percentage of very weak F2 offspring. Suggest two reasons for these observations.

The wild-type (W) Abraxas moth has large spots on its wings, but the lacticolor (L) form of this species has very small spots. Crosses were made between strains differing in this character, with the following results:Provide a clear genetic explanation of the results in these two crosses, showing the genotypes of all individual moths.

Refer to problem 2. Determine the predicted genotype frequencies among the offspring of the following crosses:a. AABB × aaBB b. AaBB × AABb c. AaBb × aabb d. AaBb × AaBb
The cross between + + +/ a b c and a b c / a b c in fruitflies yields the following crossover results:
a – b single crossovers: 5.75%
b – c single crossovers: 8.08%
a – c single crossovers: 0.25 %
Calculate the coefficient of coincidence, accurate to three decimal places.

- WHY IS A 50% RECOVERY OF SINGLE-CROSSOVER PRODUCTS THE UPPER LIMIT, EVEN WHEN CROSSINGOVER ALWAYS OCCURS BETWEEN TWO LINKED GENES?arrow_forwardNicotiana glutinosa (2n = 24) and N. tabacum (2n = 48) are two closely related plant species that can be intercrossed, but the F1 hybrid plants that result are usually sterile. In 1925, Roy Clausen and Thomas Goodspeed crossed N. glutinosa and N. tabacum, and obtained one fertile F1 plant (R. E. Clausen and T. H. Goodspeed. 1925. Genetics 10:278–284). They were able to self-pollinate the flowers of this plant to produce an F2 generation. Surprisingly, the F2 plants were fully fertile and produced viable seed. When Clausen and Goodspeed examined the chromosomes of the F2 plants, they observed 36 pairs of chromosomes in metaphase I and 36 individual chromosomes in metaphase II. Explain the origin of the F2 plants obtained by Clausen and Goodspeed and the numbers of chromosomes observedarrow_forwardWhy is a 50 percent recovery of single-crossover products theupper limit, even when crossing over always occurs between twolinked genes ?arrow_forward
- A female animal with genotype A/a ⋅ B/b is crossed with a double-recessive male (a/a ⋅ b/b). Their progeny include 442 A/a ⋅ B/b, 458 a/a ⋅ b/b, 46 A/a ⋅ b/b, and 54 a/a ⋅ B/b. Explain these results.arrow_forwardIn an intra-species cross performed in mustard plants of two different species (Brassica juncea and Brassica oleracea), a tall plant (TT) was crossed with a dwarf (tt) variety in each of the two species. 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_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. When these F1 self-fertilize, the F2 appear in a ratio of 916 purple to 716 white. a. Give genotypes for the purple and white flowers in these crosses. b. Draw a hypothetical biochemical pathway to explain the production of purple and white flowers in sweet peasarrow_forward

- Females of wild-type Strain A and males of mutant Strain B, as well as females of mutant Strain B and males of wild-type Strain A, make reciprocal crosses. Explain why reciprocal crosses are needed in genetics experiments involving Drosophila fruit flies.arrow_forwardHomozygous wild-type male mice (AA BB CC) were crossed with triplemutant female mice (aa bb cc), forming an F1 generation with the followinggenotype (Aa Bb Cc). The F1 males were crossed with triple mutantfemales, forming the following F2 phenotypes”“a B c” 3“A b C” 3“a b c” 8“A B c” 5“a b C” 5“A B C” 8“a B C” 6“A b c” 6 44 Determine the sequence of the genesarrow_forwardSummer squash exist in long, spherical, or disk shapes. When atrue-breeding long-shaped strain was crossed to a true-breedingdisk-shaped strain, all of the F1 offspring were disk-shaped. Whenthe F1 offspring were allowed to self-fertilize, the F2 generationconsisted of a ratio of 9 disk-shaped to 6 round-shaped to 1 longshaped. Assuming the shape of summer squash is governed by twodifferent genes, with each gene existing in two alleles, propose amechanism to account for this 9:6:1 ratioarrow_forward
