4. A true-breeding strain of wheat that has brown kernels is crossed with a true-breeding strain that has white kernels. The F₁ generation has all brown kernels. The F₁ generation is self crossed and the phenotypes in the F2 generation are 15/16 brown 1/16 white Propose a genetic model to explain these results.

1. The height of a wheat plant is determined by several genes. In a variety the minimum size is 12 inches and the maximum is 24 inches. 12-inch plants were crossed with 18-inch plants, and produced an 18-inch F1. The F1 was allowed to cross each other, and an F2 was obtained in which the 12 and 24 inch plants were obtained with a frequency of 2/8195. How many genes are involved in determining plant size in this variety of wheat? Select one: a. 5b. 6c. 4d. 3
8. Kernel color in wheat is controlled by 2 pairs of genes (AABB). Determine the color of the offspring with the following genotypes: (Note: 4 contributing alleles – red; 3 contributing alleles – medium red; 2 contributing alleles – intermediate red; 1 contributing allele – red; and 0 – white AAbb x AaBb AABb x Aabb aaBb x Aabb AABb x aabb AABb x AaBb A wheat plant producing medium red seed is crossed with another plant producing intermediate red seed (refer to problem no. 8). How many individuals will be? Red Medium red Intermediate red Light red White

1. Sunflowers with small flowers measuring 10 cm in diameter are crossed with plants that have large flowers with a diameter of 16cm. All offspring in the F1 generation have medium size flowers with 13 cm in diameter. When crossing two F1 generation flowers, the F2 generation shows 4 flowers are 10 cm in diameter and 4 are 16 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? b) How much does each additive allele contribute to flower diameter? c) What size flower makes up the largest phenotypic class?
