Concept explainers
Three gene pairs located on separate autosomes determine flower color and shape as well as plant height. The first pair exhibits incomplete dominance, where the color can be red, pink (the heterozygote), or white. The second pair leads to personate (dominant) or peloric (recessive) flower shape, while the third gene pair produces either the dominant tall trait or the recessive dwarf trait. Homozygous plants that are red, personate, and tall are crossed to those that are white, peloric, and dwarf. Determine the F1 genotype(s) and

- A certain plant has 3 un-linked gene pairs, which can be represented as AaBbCc. Upon self-fertilization what proportion of the progeny will display the dominant phenotype with respect to genes A and B and the recessive phenotype for "c"? 3/64 1/64 16/64 32/64 9164arrow_forwardShown in the pictures below are the degrees of dominance in the inheritance of flower color in some plants. *Based on the phenotypes (or maybe genotype), differentiate between complete dominance, incomplete dominance, and codominance. Be able to discuss the difference briefly but concisely. You may also refer to the definition.arrow_forwardIn a certain plant, the seed traits are as follows: Color: white (W) is dominant over yellow (w)Shape: disk (D) is dominant over sphere (d)Seed coat: thick (T) is dominant over thin (t) -If the parent plant is a triple heterozygote, what is its phenotype? Analyzing the phenotypes of the offspring, the alleles of the gametes were determined as: 85 wDt 390 WDT 27 WDt 81 WdT5 wDT 374 wdt 30 wdT 8 Wdt-Try to construct a genetic map using the three-point crossarrow_forward
- A plant is heterozygous for yellow flowers and hairy leaves. This is self-pollinated. What are the expected genotype, phenotype, phenotypic ratio and genotypic ratio in F1? (Red and smooth characters are recessive)arrow_forwardWaxy endosperm (wx), shrunken endosperm (sh) and yellow seedling (v) are encoded by three recessive genes in corn that are linked on chromosome 5. A corn plant homozygous for all three recessive alleles is crossed with a plant homozygous for all the dominant alleles. The resulting F1 are then crossed with a plant homozygous for the recessive alleles in a three point test cross. The progeny of the test cross are: wx sh WX SH V WX SH V Wx sh WX sh V SH v SH V V 87 1,515 94 WX 1,531 3,479 292 WX Wx sh v 3,478 280 a. Determine the order of the genes on the chromosome. b. Calculate the map distances between the genes. c. Determine the cc and I.arrow_forwardRound (R) seed shape is dominant to wrinkled (r) seed shape in pea plants. If an RR plant is crossed with an rr plant, what is the frequency of phenotypes in the F2 generation? 1)1/4 RR, 1/2 Rr, 1/4 rr 2) All round seeds 3) 3 roundseeds, 1 wrinkled seed 4) All wrinkled seedsarrow_forward
- Dominant and recessive alleles of a gene in garden peas, G and g, cause seeds to be yellow and green, respectively. Dominant and recessive alleles, F and f, of another gene cause seeds to be spotted or not with violet color, respectively. A plant of genotype GGFF is crossed with a plant of genotype ggff, and the F1 are allowed to self-fertilize. The phenotypes and numbers of F2 progeny are shown below: Phenotype of F2 Number yellow, spotted 89 green, spotted 31 yellow, not spotted 29 green, not spotted 11 Are the G,g and F,f genes linked?arrow_forwardGiven that yellow seeds are dominant and green seeds are recessive, what are the possible genotypes for a green plant? AA Aa aa 2. Given that yellow seeds are dominant and green seeds are recessive, what are the possible genotypes for a yellow plant? AA Aa aaarrow_forwardConsider the following hypothetical gene a plant. Gene T produces a protein that impacts stem length. There are two alleles for gene T, T which produces long stems and t which results in short stems. If gene T displays incomplete dominance, which of the following genotypes above would have a different phenotype? and What would the phenotype be for this genotype?arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardA researcher at ASU is studying the exotic Unicorn Fairy plant. The plant has three genes of interest with the dominant alleles being T-tall, H=hairy leaves and P=purple flowers. The three genes are located in different chromosomes. A trihybrid plant is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for T and homozygous recessive for the other two genes. What is the probability of getting offspring that is tall, has hairy leaves and white flowers? 9/64 5/8 8/64 O 3/64 O 3/16arrow_forwardUse the following information about pea plants: S = spherical seeds; s = wrinkled seeds Y = yellow seeds; y = green seeds P = purple flowers; p = white flowers I = inflated pods; i = constricted pods Write the possible genotypes for the following conditions: Heterozygous for spherical seeds Homozygous for wrinkled seeds Homozygous for spherical seeds and heterozygous for flower colorarrow_forward
