A diploid plant is heterozygous for two linked genes, A and B. Crossovers between the two genes occurs in ~10% of meiosis. Multiple crossovers are never observed in one cell undergoing meiosis. What fraction of the gametes produced by this diploid plant are expected to be recombinant type? O 5% O 10% 2.5% 25%
In rice, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of rice plants (i.e. the stamen) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male fertile rice plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male-sterile lines. Give the result(s) of the cross and explain the phenotype of the offspring.
Given the following information, determine the inheritance of flower color in this plant and determine the genotypes of the parental individuals, which are from pure- breeding lines.

In the following cross, imagine that you have a female fly that has two Xs and one Y due to a nondisjunction event in her mother's germ cells. Draw out what the possible gametes are for both the female and the male and also a Punnett square showing the genotypes, phenotypes, and sex of the possible flies as a result of this cross. You do not need to provide the probabilities of each of these. Red-eyed wi C Ở Red-eyed wt XX Y X Y Meiosis
In corn, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of corn plants (i.e. the tassel) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male-fertile corn plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male-sterile lines. Using the following color-coded circles, simulate the crosses indicated below. Put the illustrations of crosses in the spaces provided. Be sure to include in the labels the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring in each cross. Big light green circle - male-sterile cytoplasm Big orange circle - male-fertile cytoplasm Small orange circle - FF nucleus Small half-light green-half-orange circle - Ff nucleus Small light-green circle - ff nucleus
PURPLE VESTIGIAL DIHYBRID CROSS In the parental generation, you mate a pure-breeding wild-type female (put/pu+;vg+/vg+) with a pure-breeding purple, vestigial (pu/pu;vg/vg) to produce an F1 generation that is all wild-type (pu*/pu;vg+/vg). Note that the F1 flies are all dihybrid. Next, you mate several F1 dihybrid females (pu*/pu;vg+/vg) with tester males, which are purple, vestigial (pu/pu;vg/vg). The offspring of this dihybrid testcross are: Phenotype Genotype Tester Gamete Dihybrid Gamete Number Wild-type 437 417 77 59 Purple, vestigial Vestigial Purple Copy the table into your notes and derive the dihybrid gametes following the example in the first section. The columns in blue (phenotypes and numbers of offspring) are what you can see and count. The genotypes of the testcross offspring (orange) must be deduced from the phenotypes and knowing that the tester contributed pu vg gametes. Finally, you can deduce the dihybrid gametes (green) by subtracting the tester gamete contribution…

What is/are the genotype(s) of: the megaspore mother cell of a plant with purple flowers? the polar nucleus of a plant with light violet flowers? the megasporocyte of a plant with white flowers? the companion cell of a plant with light violet flowers?
The crossing of two orange-flowering plants results in 61 orange-flower progeny and 27 white-flower progeny. The crossing of two orange-flowering F1 plants generates a similar progeny ratio as observed for the parental cross, while the crossing of white-flowering F1 plants only produces white-flowering progeny. What is a likely explanation for these results?
