QUESTION 1 In cucumbers, warty fruit (W) is dominant to smooth fruit (w) and dull fruit (D) is dominant to glossy fruit (d). The W gene and the D gene are on the same chromosome and the distance between the two genes is 16 m.u. The S gene controls plant height and is on another chromosome. The dominant allele (S) gives rise to tall plants and the recessive allele (s) gives rise to short plants. Fill in the expected proportions of progeny for each phenotypic group in the table when a plant of the genotype given below is testcrossed to a homozygous recessive plant: Phenotypes warty, dull, tall (W,D,S) warty, dull, short (W,D,s) smooth, glossy, tall (w,d,S) smooth, glossy, short (w,d,s) warty, glossy, tall (W,d,S) warty, glossy, short (W,d,s) smooth, dull, tall (w,D,S) smooth, dull, short (w,D,s) W D S W d s % of Progeny

QUESTION 35 You are conducting a QTL analysis to better understand monkey flower color and shape. To begin you start with breeding a plant that produces a long white tubular flower with purple flat flower. You continue your breeding for many generations. Which of the following is something you most likely observe? a. Variation in flowers your F2 population far exceeded the parental generation characteristics. b. The flower phenotypes did not correlate between siblings and between parent-offspring pairs. c. The variation in phenotypes is greater in the F2 population compared to the F1 population. d. Through selective breeding of the F1 individuals you could not recover the parental generation.
Question 1. In total, how many plant populations were established in this experiment? In each of these populations, what was the initial frequency of each plant genotype? Question 2. Did evolution occur in the control populations? If so, what factor or factors may have caused evolution by natural selection in these populations? Explain your answer. Question 3. Did evolution occur in the populations exposed to the generalist herbivore? If so, what factor or factors may have caused evolution by natural selection in these populations? Explain your answer. Question 4. Compare results for the control and generalist herbivore treatments. Why do you think the experiment showed the results that it did? Plant Genotypes Suppose the researchers conduct another experiment to investigate whether a generalist herbivore can affect the natural selection of a plant species. They establish ten replicate populations of the plant and expose each to two experimental treatments: a control (no herbivore) and…
QUESTION 13 Feather color in a certain species of bird is controlled by a pair of alleles that exhibit incomplete dominance. If birds that are homozygous for one allele are black and birds that are homozygous for the other allele are white, then heterozygous birds would be a. gray. b. white. c. black. QUESTION 20 Which of the following might explain how two separate genes control a single trait? a. One gene function better at higher temperatures. b. Both genes have the same alleles. c. There are two genes to control two separate steps in a pathway. d. Two genes cannot control a single trait.
Question 10 In a population of mountain lions, 9% of the individuals suffer from a disease caused by a recessive allele (aa). Calculate the frequency of both the dominant and recessive alleles. 2. What is the percentage of homozygous dominant individuals and what is the percentage of heterozygous individuals in the population?
Question 3 and 4. I can’t find how to find if the shaded is dominant or recessive. Please Help.
Question 1: In celery the leaves can be curly (Dominant; L) or straight (recessive; l). Another trait is spots on the leaves. Dark green spots (G) are dominant over white spots (g). Utilize the following information to complete the problem: Plant 1: Heterozygous dominant for both traits Plant 2: Recessive for both traits
Question 7 Albinism is caused by an autosomal recessive allele that interferes with skin pigmentation in mammals. Two normally pigmented parents already have an albino boy. They plan to have 2 more children. a) What is the probability that their next two children will be normally pigmented? Show your work. b) What is the probability that their next two children will both have albinism? Show your work. c) What is the probability that, when they have 2 more children, they will end up with a family including a total of 2 albino children and one normal? Show your work. d) What is the probability that, when they have two more children, the next child (i.e. the second-born child) will be normal, followed by a child with albinism? Show your work. e) Explain why the answers to part (c) and part (d) are calculated differently.
Which statement is false?Question 10 options: a) Mitochondria carry DNA in the form of a closed circle. b) Chloroplasts carry DNA in the form of a closed circle. c) A nucleus can possess DNA in the form of a linear chromosome. d) The nucleoid region carries DNA in the form of a closed circle. e) None of the above statements is false.
Question 6 Albinism is caused by an autosomal recessive allele that interferes with skin pigmentation in mammals. Two normally pigmented human parents already have an albino boy. They plan to continue to have children until they get a girl. Some or all of this information is important for each of the questions below. a) What is the probability that their next child (currently unborn) will be a girl with albinism? Explain your reasoning. b) What is the probability their first female child will be albino? Explain your reasoning. c) The answer to part (b) is different (and, yes, the answer is different) from the answer to part (a). Explain why. (Hint: it has something to do with the underlined words.)
Question 12 In a series of crosses involving pea plants that have round or wrinkled seeds (round is dominant to wrinkled) and yellow or green seeds (yellow is dominant to green), the following ratios were observed in the progeny: Parents -----> Progeny a) round, green x wrinkled, yellow -----> 100% round, yellow b) round, yellow x round, yellow -----> 9/16 round, yellow 3/16 round, green 3/16 wrinkled, yellow 1/16 wrinkled, green c) round, yellow x round, yellow -----> 3/4 round, yellow 1/4 wrinkled, yellow d) wrinkled, yellow x round, yellow -----> 6/16 wrinkled, yellow 2/16 wrinkled, green 6/16 round, yellow 2/16 round, green On the basis of these progeny ratios, determine a possible genotype for each of the parent plants in each set of crosses (a,b, c, and d). Sometimes more than one genotype is possible, but you need only suggest one.
Question:- 3. Wild type Drosophila has red eyes and gray body*. Autosomal recessive mutations sepia (se) and ebony (e) modify the eye and body color, respectively. What kind of a cross (or crosses) can you set up to determine whether the two genes are linked? You have several lines to choose from: a pure-breeding wild type line (where alleles for both, sepia and ebony are wild type), a double homozygous recessive line, a pure breeding sepia mutant line and a pure breeding ebony mutant line. You don’t have to use all of them. (a) Write down the cross (or crosses, if necessary) which will allow you to determine linkage; include genotypes of both crossed individuals (b) What kind of results (offspring) do you expect if the two genes are linked? (c) What kind of results (offspring) do you expect if the two genes are not linked? For (b) and (c), state the phenotypes, genotypes and numbers.
