Chapter 3, Problem 16P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

Whether progeny will be produced or not for the cross ♂ S1 S2 × ♀ S1 S2 and list all possible genotypes of these progeny if they are produced.

Introduction:

Cross is the breeding of two parents that produces an offspring that will contain the genetic material from each of the parent. The genetic material that passes from parents to offspring is DNA.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

Whether progeny will be produced or not for the cross ♂ S1 S2 × ♀ S2 S3 and list all possible genotypes of these progeny if they are produced.

Introduction:

The set of the morphological characteristics of an organism that results from the interactions of the genes is known as the phenotype of the individual. For example, in pea plants, tallness is a phenotypic trait.

Summary Introduction

c.

To describe:

Whether progeny will be produced or not for the cross ♂ S1 S2 × ♀ S3 S4 and list all possible genotypes of these progeny if they are produced.

Introduction:

The set of the alleles in DNA that carries the information for the expression of a trait in an individual is known as its genotype. For example, genotype ‘TT’ expresses the tallness in plants.

Summary Introduction

d.

To describe:

The ways by which the mechanism of incompatibility prevents self-fertilization.

Introduction:

During the process of translation, exons or its some portion within a pre-mRNA transcript are removed, which results from encoding different protein sequences from a single gene.

Summary Introduction

e.

To describe:

The ways by which it is ensured by the incompatibility system that all plants for different alleles of the S gene would be heterozygous.

Introduction:

According to Mendel's conclusion, a pair of factors control the expression of a trait (a term that was used by Mendel for genes), and each factor of the pair segregate from each other during gamete formation.

Summary Introduction

f.

To describe:

The reason for peas to be not governed by this incompatibility mechanism.

Introduction:

Gregor Mendel conducted experiments for many years using pea plants. Mendel analyzed his results quantitively and concluded that traits transferred from one generation to another generation

Summary Introduction

g.

To describe:

The reason for favoring the emergence of new incompatibility alleles by evolution and making the gene increasingly polymorphic in populations of tomatoes or petunias.

Introduction:

Evolution is the process of heritable changes in the biological populations over successive generations, and these changes are the result of the expression of genes, that are inherited from parent to offspring during reproduction.

In rice, plants homozygous for the recessive allele sd1 are relatively short in stature; heterozygotes are of normal height. Plants carrying one copy of a dominant allele, Xa4 (corresponding to a second gene located on a different chromosome), are resistant to bacterial blight. Note that both the sd1 and Xa4 alleles would be considered "mutant" alleles in this scenario. A farmer obtained two pureline plants (one is homozygous for the sd1 mutant and the other is homozygous for the Xa4 mutant) and crossed them. Assume both pureline plants have identical alleles at all other loci, and no other mutant alleles are present in these two plants, which of these statements is correct? O All the progeny will be susceptible to bacterial blight and will be short. O When a progeny plant from the cross goes through meiosis, gametes will either contain sd1 or Xa4 alleles, but never both. O When a progeny plant from the cross goes through meiosis, four possible types of gametes that may form, and the…
Two different genes control the expression of kernel colour in Mexican black corn: black pigment gene B and dotted pigment gene D. Gene B influences the expression of gene D. The dotted phenotype appears only when gene B is in the homozygous recessive state. A colourless variation occurs when both genes are homozygous recessive. What would be the phenotypic ratio of a test cross with a plant heterozygous for both traits? Your response must include a Punnett square with appropriate nomenclature. Show the ratio as whole numbers in their lowest form and their corresponding phenotypes.
If an allotetraploid species is made up of two ancestral genomes, A and B, with each of them having a basic chromosome number of seven.  The resistance to the pathogen attacking the foliage of plants is controlled by a dominant allele located at the F locus.  The recessive alleles F^a and F^b show sensitivity to the pathogen.  Plants with at least on F^A allele are resistant to the pathotype 1 and 2 (regardless of the genotype in B genome), and plants with at least one F^B allele are resistant to pathotypes 1 and 3 (regardless of genotype in A genome).  What proprtion of the self-progeny of F^AF^a F^BF^b plant will be resistant to pathotype 1, 2 and 3?
