Assume that three loci, each with two alleles (A and a, B and b, C and c), determine the difference in height between two homozygous strains of a plant. These genes are additive and equal in their effects on plant height. One strain (aa bb cc) is 10 cm in height. The other strain (AA BB CC) is 22 cm in height. The two strains are crossed, and the resulting F1 are interbred to produce F2 progeny. Give the phenotypes and the expected proportions of the F2 progeny.
The following results were obtained from a dihybrid cross between two pea plants:
315 plants with round seeds and yellow flowers
101 plants with wrinkled seeds and yellow flowers
108 plants with round seeds and white flowers
32 plants with wrinkled seeds and white flowers
Assume that round seeds and yellow flowers are dominant and both parent plants were heterozygous for both traits.

To study the phenotype associated with this trait, you cross a plant that is homozygous for the “long pod” allele with a pea plant that is homozygote for “short pod” allele. When measuring the length of the pods of the parents and resulting offspring, you obtain the following data: Plant Length (cm) Homozygous (“Wide” allele) 15 cm Homozygous (“Short” allele) 4 cm Resulting cross breed 9 cm What can you conclude about this phenotype/trait? Long and short alleles are codominant Wide allele shows incomplete dominance over the short allele Wide allele shows complete dominance over the short allele Short allele shows complete dominance over the long allele The wide and short genes are linkedarrow_forwardSuppose a species of tulip has three alleles for the gene that codes for flower color. The CR allele produces red tulips, the CB allele produces blue tulips, and the CW allele produces white tulips. Both CR and CB are dominant over CW, but CR and CB are incompletely dominant with each other, so CRCB heterozygotes have purple flowers. What is the expected phenotypic ratio in the offspring of the following crosses, in the order red : blue : purple : white? Enter your answers as the most simplified ratio (e.g. 1 : 2 : 1 : 1 instead of 2 : 4 : 2 : 2). Enter 0 if none of the offspring from a cross will be a particular color.

- A diploid plant has red flowers, heavy seeds and large leaves. The plant is a heterozygous for the following three genes:flower color (gene “F”),seed weight (gene “S”),and leaf size (gene “L”). This plant is testcrossed to a plant, which has white flowers, light seeds, and small leaves, the progeny of the testcross is as follows: 222 Red, heavy, large 228 White, light, small 224 Red, heavy, small 226 White, light, large 24 Red, light, large 26 White, heavy, small 25 White, heavy, large 25 Red, light, small Based on this results, which of the following statement is correct?

Genes F and L are linked, while S assorts independently.arrow_forwardFigure 8.10 In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white (p), and yellow peas (Y) are dominant to green (y).

To calculate the recombination frequency between the two genes, you draw a large number of pedigrees that include grandfathers with both hemophilia and color blindness, their daughters (who presumably have one chromosome with two normal alleles and one chromosome with two mutant alleles), and the daughters sons. Analyzing all the pedigrees together shows that 25 grandsons have both color blindness and hemophilia, 24 have neither of the traits, 1 has color blindness only, and 1 has hemophilia only. How many centimorgans (map units) separate the hemophilia locus from the locus for color blindness?arrow_forward
