What is the possible genotype, or genotypes, of the 95 cm class in the F2? c. What is the possible genotype, or genotypes, of the 95 cm class in the F2? Miscanthus is a grass that grows rapidly and is used in biofuels research.Two true-breeding strains, of the 90 cm and 100 cm classes, are crossed. All of the F₁ offspringbelong to the 95 cm class. An F₁xF₁ cross results in wide variety of height classes. Thedistribution of members of F2 generation are displayed on the following histogram:Absolute Frequency of F2 Offspring858075706560555045403530252015105080859095Height classes (cm)100105110

Imagine that you are performing a cross involving seed texture in garden pea plants. You cross true-breeding round and wrinkled parents to obtain F1 offspring. Which of the following experimental results in terms of numbers of plants are closest to what you expect in the F2 progeny? a. 8lOroundseeds b. 8lOwrinkledseeds c. 405:395 round seeds:wrinkled seeds d. 610:190 round seeds:wrinkled seeds
Sunflowers with flowers 10 cm in diameter are crossed with a plant that has 20-cm flowers. The F1 plants have flowers 15 cm in diameter. In the F2 generation, 4 flowers are 10 cm in diameter and 4 are 20 cm in diameter. Between these are 5 phenotypic classes with diameters intermediate to those at the extremes. a. Assuming that the alleles that contribute to flower diameter act additively, how many genes control flower size in this strain of sunflowers? b. How much does each additive allele contribute to flower diameter? c. What size flower makes up the largest phenotypic class?
Individuals of genotype AaBb were mated to individuals of genotype aabb. One thousand offspring were counted, with the following results: 474 Aabb, 480 aaBb, 20 AaBb, and 26 aabb. What type of cross is it? Are these loci linked? What are the two parental classes and the two recombinant classes of offspring? What is the percentage of recombination between these two loci? How many map units apart are they?
Two pure-breeding lines of petunia plants are crossed. Line 1 plants grow to a height of 54 cm, and Line 2 plants grow to a height of 18 cm. Petunia plant height is controlled by three genes, A, B and C. Line 1 has the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁, and line 2 has the genotype A2A2B₂B₂C₂C₂. Assume that genotype alone determines plant height under ideal growth conditions and that the alleles of the three genes are additive. If the F1 plants are self crossed, what is the expected proportion of F2 plants with the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁ 1/8 1/32 1/16 1/4 1/64

A strain of plants has a mean height of 24 cmcm. A second strain of the same species from a different geographical region also has a mean height of 24 cmcm. When plants from the two strains are crossed together, the F1F1 plants are the same height as the parent plants. However, the F2F2 generation shows a wide range of heights; the majority are like the P1P1 and F1F1 plants, but approximately 4 of 1000 are only 12 cmcm high, and about 4 of 1000 are 36 cmcm high.

An insect from a strain breeding for white eyes (RRww) was crossed to an insect from a strain breeding for cream eye (rrWW). The F1 all had red eyes. The F1s were intercrossed to produce F2 generation that consisted of 175 red eyed:81 white eyed. Provide the genetics of inheritance of this trait. Provide the genotypes for the F1s and F2s of this cross.
