Flower diameter in sunflowers is a quantitative trait. Each upper case allele provides a fixed amount of cm additional in diameter. Each lower case provides a different fixed amount of cm additional in diameter. A plant with 8-cm flowers and aabb genotype is crossed to a plant with 16-cm flowers and a AABB. What is the probability of of getting a 16cm flower in F2? 1/8

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects 1 in 3 000 newborns with Caucasian background. It causes thick mucus build up in various organs and can cause damages and problems in respiratory and digestive systems. a) What is the frequency of the cystic fibrosis allele in the Caucasian population? Show all your work and express your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places. b) What percentage of the Caucasian population would be carriers for cystic fibrosis? Show all your work and express your answer rounded to two decimal places. c)If two individuals are carriers of the cystic fibrosis allele, what is the probability that they would have a girl without cystic fibrosis? Show all your work (including the Punnett square) and express your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places.
A. 0.0025 B. 0.01 C. 0.95 D. 0.99 E. None of the above The common morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea) is highly polymorphic for flower color. Part of this phenotypic variation is due to allelic variation at the P locus. This locus determines whether flowers will be in purple or white color. Further genetic studies showed that the purple color is dominant. Based on a survey, you found that out of a total of 1000 individuals in the population, 922 are purple and 78 are white. Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the allele frequency for the purple allele? A. 0.078 B. 0.279 C. 0.721 D. 0.922 E. 0.960
Hi, I'm having some trouble with this practice problem from my study guide. If anyone can explain it it would be very helpful! Brindle coloration is a black and brown striping pattern in some dogs. This fur coloration is controlled by different alleles at a single autosomal locus. There are three alleles, KB, kbr and ky. The KB allele is dominant over the other two alleles and produces a solid black color. The allele kbr produces the brindle color pattern and is dominant over the ky allele, which produces yellow fur. Give the genotypes of the parents and offspring in each cross. P: black X yellow; F1: ½ brindle and ½ black P: black X brindle; F1: ½ black, ¼ brindle and ¼ yellow P: brindle X yellow; F1: 100% brindle
In a true breeding parental cross for an AR disease trait, the expected proportion of offspring in the F2 generation that are affected is: a. 0. b. 0.75. c. 0.25. d. 1. e. 0.667.
Make sure to include (genotypic ratios) For part A) make sure to have table or the phenotypic or genotypic ratios 5. In garden peas, green pod (P) is dominant to yellow pod (p) and tall stemmed (T) plants are dominant to short stemmed plants (t). Please give the genotypic and phenotypic ratios from the following crosses. a) Homozygous green pod homozygous tall stemmed plant crossed with a yellow pod (homozygous) short stemmed (homozygous) plant. b) Homozygous green pod homozygous tall stemmed plant crossed with a heterozygous green pod heterozygous tall stemmed plant. c) Heterozygous green pod heterozygous tall stemmed plant crossed with a heterozygous green pod heterozygous tall stemmed plant. d) Heterozygous green pod homozygous tall stemmed plant crossed with a yellow pod (homozygous) homozygous tall stemmed plant. These are dihybrid crosses. 7. In pea plants, flower colour and pollen shape are located on the same chromosome. A plant with purple flowers and…

Thank you!
Introduction: A dihybrid cross is a cross between individuals that involves two pairs of contrasting traits. To Predict the results of a dihybrid, cross all possible combinations of the four alleles from each parent must be considered. You will examine a dihybrid cross involving both color and texture. Purple (P), is dominate to yellow (p), and smooth texture (S) is dominant to wrinkled (s). Both parent plants are heterozygous for both traits. Review genetics and the use of Punnett squares in a biology text before doing this experiment.MATERIALS: Assume you have ear of Corn. You need a heterozygous X heterozygous 9:3:3:1, purple/yellow, starchy/sweet. PROCEDURE: From above please write out: The crop The parental (P) cross phenotype, genotype, gametes Cross between two F1 Selfed testcross 1. First let us use a Punnett square to examine the theoretical outcome of the Heterozygous X Heterozygous dihybrid cross. USE a Punnett square. REMEMBER: a phenotype is how the offspring will…
For all of the testcross problems, indicate parental phenotypes, genotypes and gametes; indicate genotypes and phenotypes off offspring. Show your work on a separate sheet(s) of paper! I. Complete Dominance House mice have two coat colors; gray (agouti, or wild type) and black. When true-breeding gray mice are crossed with true-breeding black mice, the F1 generation are all gray. In the F2 generation there are three gray to one black (3/4 gray : 1/4 black). Diagram the F1 cross, using G = gray, g = black. What genotypic and phenotypic ratios would you expect if you crossed a pure breeding gray mouse with a heterozygous mouse? Two gray mice with unknown ancestry are crossed. Can you determine from the phenotypes of their offspring if the parents are homozygous or heterozygous? Explain how.
In a plant, stems can appear fuzzy or smooth. The allele for fuzzy (F) is dominant. These plants can also have blue (B-) or white flowers. White is the recessive trait. A cross was made between plants heterozygous for both traits. You observed 290 blue fuzzy, 80 blue smooth, 70 white fuzzy, and 40 white smooth plants. Are your observations consistent with your expectations?
The allele for freckles (F) is dominant to the allele for no freckles (f). A freckled man and an unfreckled woman have two children, a boy with freckles and a girl without freckles.

Question 6 options: Mom: XfXf, Dad: XY, boy: ff, girl: ff Mom: ff, Dad: FF, boy: Ff, girl: ff Mom: ff, Dad: Ff, boy: Ff, girl: ff Mom: ff, Dad: FF, boy: Ff, girl: FF
In 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?
