Genetic Analysis: An Integrated Approach (2nd Edition)
- Imagine that you are performing a cross involving seed texture in garden pea plants. You cross true-breeding round and wrinkled parents to obtain F1 offspring. Which of the following experimental results in terms of numbers of plants are closest to what you expect in the F2 progeny? a. 8lOroundseeds b. 8lOwrinkledseeds c. 405:395 round seeds:wrinkled seeds d. 610:190 round seeds:wrinkled seedsarrow_forwardIn sweet pea plant, an allele for purple flowers (P) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for red flowers (p). An allele for long pollen grains (L) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for round pollen grain (l). Bateson and Punnett crossed a plant having purple flowers/long pollen grains with one having white/flowers/round pollen grains. All F1 offspring had purple flowers and long pollen grains. Among the F2 generation, the researchers observed the following phenotypes: 296 purple flowers/long pollen grains 19 purple flowers/round pollen grains 27 red flowers/long pollen grains 85 red flowers/round pollen grains What is the best explanation for these results?arrow_forwardA heterozygous individual has a _______ for a trait being studied. a. pair of identical alleles b. pair of nonidentical alleles c. haploid condition, in genetic termsarrow_forward
- The F1 flies described in question 1 were mated with brown-eyed flies from a true-breeding line. What phenotypes would you expect the offspring to have? (a) all with red eyes (b) all with brown eyes (c) half with red eyes and half with brown eyes (d) red-eyed females and brown-eyed males (e) brown-eyed females and red-eyed malesarrow_forwardWhen a pure bred red four o.clock flower (RR) is crossed to a pure bred four o'clock white flowers (WW) resulted to four (4) pink four o'clock flowers, Which of the following is the genotype of the pink flower? a. RR b. WW c. RW d. red and whitearrow_forwardAn individual heterozygous for d e f (D/d E/e F/f) was crossed to a homozygous recessive individual (d/d e/e f/f). The following offspring were recovered.d e + 39+ e f 372d + f 7+ + f 47+ e + 5d + + 412What is the correct order of these genes? EDF DFE DEFarrow_forward
- Three autosomal genes are linked along the same chromosome.The distance between gene A and B is 7 mu, the distance betweenB and C is 11 mu, and the distance between A and C is 4 mu. Anindividual that is AA bb CC was crossed to an individual that is aaBB cc to produce heterozygous F1 offspring. The F1 offspring werethen crossed to homozygous aa bb cc individuals to produce F2offspring.Where would a crossover have to occur to produce an F2 offspringthat was heterozygous for all three genes?arrow_forwardA certain plant species has dominant red flower color (R) to the recessive white flower color (r). A pure breeding (homozygous) red-flowering plant is crossed with a pure breeding white-flowering plant. What are the possible outcomes for the F1 generation? (Show the Punnett squarearrow_forwardIn the self of a polygenic trihybrid R1/r1 ; R2/r2 ; R3/r3,use the product and sum rules to calculate the proportion of progeny with just one polygene “dose.”arrow_forward
- Fruit flies can have straight wings (S) or curly wings (s), and they can have be female XX or male XY. (A) For a standard monohybrid cross (Ss ´ Ss), what proportion of the offspring will have the genotype ss? (Express the proportion as a simple fraction) (B) For the following cross (SsXX ´ SsXY), what proportion of the offspring will have the genotype Ss? (Express the proportion as a simple fraction) (C) What proportion will have the genotype XX? (Express the proportion as a simple fraction) (D) What proportion will have the genotype SsXX? (Express the proportion as a simple fraction)SHOW YOUR WORKarrow_forwardIn tomatoes, dwarf (d) is recessive to tall (D) and opaque (light-green) leaves (op) are recessive to green leaves (Op). The loci that determine height and leaf color are linked and separated by a distance of 7 m.u. For each of the following crosses, determine the phenotypes and proportions of progeny produced.arrow_forwardThree autosomal genes are linked along the same chromosome.The distance between gene A and B is 7 mu, the distance betweenB and C is 11 mu, and the distance between A and C is 4 mu. Anindividual that is AA bb CC was crossed to an individual that is aaBB cc to produce heterozygous F1 offspring. The F1 offspring werethen crossed to homozygous aa bb cc individuals to produce F2offspring.Draw the arrangement of the alleles on the chromosomes in theparents and in the F1 offspring.arrow_forward
