Imagine you are performing a cross involving seed color in garden pea plants. What Fi offspring would you expect if you cross true-breeding parents with green seeds and yellow seeds? Yellow seed color is dominant over green. 100 percent yellow-green seeds 100 percent yellow seeds 50 percent yellow, 50 percent green seeds 25 percent green, 75 percent yellow seeds
Two pairs of traits are segregating in a cross. Two parents produce 156 progeny that fall into 4 phenotypes. The numbers of offspring in the 4 phenotypes are 89, 31, 28, and 8. What are the genotypes of the two parents?
Figure 12.5 In pea plants, round peas (R) are dominant to wrinkled peas (r). You do a test cross between a pea plant with wrinkled peas (genotype rr) and a plant of unknown genotype that has round peas. You end up with three plants, all which have round peas. From this data, can you tell if the round pea parent plant is homozygous dominant or heterozygous? If the round pea parent plant is heterozygous, what is the probability that a random sample of 3 progeny peas will all be round?
1. In pea plants, yellow color (Y) is dominant over green color (y). A yellow-colored pea plant is crossed with a green-colored pea plant. Half of their offspring is yellow-colored while the other half is green-colored.What is the genotype of the yellow-colored parent? YY O Yy yy The genotype cannot be determined. 2. A scientist discovered an unknown organism in a tropical rainforest. The organism has been identified to possess the following characteristics: (1) multicellular at some point of its life cycle; (2) feeds on decaying organic matter; and (3) has a cell wall made of chitin.Which Kingdom does the unknown organism likely belong to? Kingdom Animalia Kingdom Plantae Kingdom Fungi Kingdom Protista 3. Which statement about ferns is TRUE? Ferns are unicellular organisms. Ferns are nonvascular plants. O Ferns have spores as reproductive structures. Ferns are capable of secondary growth.
1. While hiking your find a wild growing pea plant with purple flowers. You know that purple pea flowers are dominant to white pea flowers, but from looking at the plant, you cannot be certain if it is homozygous dominant or heterozygous. Explain the cross you could set up to determine the genotype of the wild pea plant and which results would indicate it is heterozygous versus homozygous. 2. Using skin color as an example of a multifactorial trait, explain why skin color produces a wide range of possible phenotypes within the human population.
3. Imagine you have just purchased a black stallion ofunknown genotype. You mate him to a red mare, andshe delivers twin foals, one red and one black. Canyou tell from these results how color is inherited, assuming that alternative alleles of a single gene are involved? What crosses could you do to determine howcolor is inherited?
2. In a strain of chickens, there are birds with white, black, or blue feathers. In crosses between ten white hens and ten blue roosters, there are 100 offspring: 24 hens with blue feathers, 26 roosters with blue feathers, 23 hens with white feathers, 27 roosters with white feathers. When crossing blue hens and white roosters, there are 100 offspring: 25 hens with blue feathers, 25 roosters with blue feathers, 26 hens with white feathers, 24 roosters with white feathers. A. Using allele symbols, create a plausible explanation for these traits. Why is this trait not sex-linked? When crossing ten black roosters and ten white hens, you observe 100 offspring: 51 hens with blue feathers, 49 roosters with blue feathers. When crossing white roosters and black hens, you observe 100 offspring: 50 hens with blue feathers, 50 roosters with blue feathers B. Use allele symbols to create a plausible explanation for these traits. C. Using evidence of all crosses, what would you predict if you…
2. A trait in garden peas involves the curling of leaves. A dihybrid cross was made involving a plant with yellow pods and curling leaves to a wild-type plant with green pods and normal leaves. All F1 offspring had green pods and normal leaves. The F1 plants were then crossed to plants with yellow pods and curling leaves. The following results were obtained: 117 green pods, normal leaves 115 yellow pods, curling leaves 78 green pods, curling leaves 80 yellow pods, normal leaves A. Conduct a chi square analysis to determine if these two genes are linked. B. If they are linked, calculate the map distance between the two genes. How accurate do you think this distance is?
3. While hiking your find a wild growing pea plant with purple flowers. You know that purple pea flowers are dominant to white pea flowers, but from looking at the plant, you cannot be certain if it is homozygous dominant or heterozygous. Explain the cross you could set up to determine the genotype of the wild pea plant and which results would indicate it is heterozygous versus homozygous.
1. If a person's genotype for gene a and gene b is AaBb, what are the possible allelic compositions in a gamete (What alleles for gene a and gene b can be found in a gamete)? 2. Gene p specifies flower color. The dominant P allele specifies purple color, the recessive p allele specifies white color. What is the phenotypic ratio of purple flower : white flower in a monohybrid cross? 3. Gene y specifies seed color. The dominant Y allele specifies yellow color, the recessive y allele specifies green color. Gene s specifies seed skin. The dominant S allele specifies smooth skin, the recessive s allele specifies wrinkled skin. What is the phenotypic ratio of yellow color smooth skin : yellow color wrinkled skin : green color smooth skin : green color wrinkled skin for the offspring of a dihybrid cross? 4. Please consider the cross AABBCC x Aabbcc. What is the probability of producing an offspring with AABbCc genotype? What is the probability of producing an offspring with Aabbcc genotype?

1. P is a dominant allele for purple flowers and p is the recessive allele that causes white flowers. The following cross is performed: Pp x pp. What percentage of offspring would you expect to have white flowers? 2. In peas, T (tall) is dominant to t (dwarf). A homozygous dominant plant is crossed to a heterozygous plant. What is the expected outcome for the genotype ratio of offspring from this cross? What percentage of offspring would you expect to be tall? 3. In peas, Y (yellow seeds) is dominant to y (green seeds) and R (round seeds) is dominant to r (wrinkled seeds). The following cross is performed: YYRr x yyrr. What is the expected phenotype ratio of the offspring?
