- Crossing Pea Plants: Mendels Study of Single Traits Suppose that organisms have the following genotypes. What types of gametes will these organisms produce, and in what proportions? a. Aa b. AA c. aaarrow_forwardMendel’s experiments used plants that had traits which follow simple laws of dominance, segregation, and independent assortment. We have since learned that not all traits follow these simple laws. Give at least three examples of non-Mendelian inheritance patterns and explain how each differs from Mendel’s laws of inheritance.arrow_forwardMendel’s ________ tells us that paired genes are divided equally into gametes so that offspring have an equal likelihood of inheriting either gene. 1. law of segregation 2 law of dominance 3 law of inheritancearrow_forward
- Can you give an example of trait in the plant that Mendel studied?arrow_forwardIn snapdragons, flower color shows incomplete dominance. Plant height (tall or short) is a standard dominant/recessive trait. If you cross a red-flowered, heterozygous tall plant with a white-flowered, heterozygous tall plant, how many of the offspring would you expect to have pink flowers and be short?arrow_forwardBriefly describe Mendel’s rule of inheritance: segregation and independent assortmentarrow_forward
- Using Mendel’s lines of peas, describe how you would use a test cross experimental design to determine the genotype of a pea plant with purple flowers. Be very specific in describing your experimental design and how you would interpret your results based on the proportion of offspring phenotypes. Make sure to include all possible offspring phenotypes in your answer and what the proportion of phenotypes tells you about the purple plant genotype.arrow_forwardMendel crossed peas having round seeds and yellow cotyledons (seed leaves) with peas having wrinkled seeds and green cotyledons. All the F1 plants had round seeds with yellow cotyledons. Diagram this cross through the F2 generation, using both the Punnett square and forked-line, or branch diagram, methods.arrow_forwardHow are Mendel’s principles different from the concept of blending inheritance ?arrow_forward
