- In corn, a colored aleurone is due to the presence of an R allele; r/r is colorless. Another gene controls the color of the plant, with g/g being yellow and G_being green. A plant of unknown genotype is test-crossed, and the following progeny plants were obtained. Colored green 89 Colored yellow 13 Colorless green 9 Colorless yellow 92 What is the recombination frequency between the R locus and the G locus? A. 45.6% B. 9.85% C. 91.15% D. 4.93% E. 6.4%arrow_forwardPurple flowers are dominant to white flowers. Identify the phenotypefor the following genotype Ff, FF, ff and determine if the genotype is heterozygous or homozygous. * For each row, you should select two columns. Purple flowers White flowers Heterozygous Homozygous Ff FF ff Brown eyes are dominant to blue eyes. Identify the phenotype for the following genotype BB, Bb, bb and determine if the genotype is heterozygous or homozygous. * 口 ロ口arrow_forwardIn an autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis L.), the gene controlling stigma color is very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominant to g for red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous red autotetraploid strain. What is the genotype of the F1? Show the types of gametes the F1’s may be expected to form and derive the expected proportion of each. What phenotypic ratio of green to red is expected if: The F1’s are intercrossed? The F1’s are crossed with red plants If the G locus were 50 or more map units from the centromere, what types and proportions of gametes would the F1 be expected to produce? Derive the expected F2 phenotypic ratio.arrow_forward
- Two genes on chromosome 7 of corn are glossy (g) for leaf texture and ramosa (r), which determines how the ears branch. A test cross between a heterozygous plant for both loci and a doubly recessive plant produces the following progeny and genotypes Phenotype Number of corn kernels counted GR / gr 46 G r / gr 125 g r / gr 45 g R / gr 121 What is the recombination frequency (in %) for the two loci? ___arrow_forwardIn an autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis L.), the gene controlling stigma color is very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominant to g for red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous red autotetraploid strain. Show all solutions and label solutions and final answers properly.

Assume that there is no interference in the Lf-W region. Give the expected number of individuals for each of the following progeny types and show complete solutions.a. with crossover in the Lf-J and J-W regionsb. with crossover in the Lf-J regionc. with crossover in the J-W regiond. without crossover in the Lf-W regionarrow_forwardConsider a maize plant: Genotype C/cm ; Ac/Ac+ where cm is an unstable colorless allele caused by Ds insertion. What phenotypic ratios would be produced and in what proportions when this plant is crossed with a mutant c/c Ac+/Ac+? Assume that the Ac and c loci are unlinked, that the chromosome-breakage frequency is negligible, and the C allele encodes pigment production.arrow_forward
- In D. melanogaster, scarlet eyes (st), curled wings (cu), and spineless bristles (ss) are recessive traits located on chromosome III in that order. The distance between st and cu is 10 cM and the distance between cu and ss is 12 cM. The CoC for this chromosome is 1. A true-breeding female expressing scarlet eyes and spineless bristles is crossed to a true-breeding male expressing curled wings. The F1 are wild type. An F1 female is then test crossed to a male expressing all three traits. Among the F2 progeny, how often would you expect to observe flies expressing only scarlet eyes? Using the same information from above, among the F2 progeny, how often would you expect to observe flies expressing only spineless bristles? Using the same information from above, among the F2 progeny, how often would you expect to observe flies expressing only curled wings?arrow_forwardCalculate the map distances among the genes.arrow_forwardMiniature wings (Xm) in Drosophila result from an X-linked allele that is recessive to the allele for long wings (X*).
