4). In papayas, sour fruit (S) is dominant over sweet fruit (s), and green skin (G) is dominant over yellow skin (g). The genes for these characteristics independently assort. A homozygous plant with sour fruit and green skin is crossed with a homozygous plant with sweet fruit and yellow skin. Two individuals from the F1 generation are then crossed to produce an F2 generation.

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

You have two true-breeding strains of coneflower. One strain has purple flowers and purple stems. The other strain has white flowers and green stems. When you cross these strains the F1 generation has purple flowers and purple stems. From this information you know that purple flowers is dominant to white flowers and that purple stems is dominant to green stems. In terms of genetic mechanisms, there could be two explanations: (1) flower color and stem color are each controlled by separate, independently segregating genes, and (2) there is one gene controlling both flower color and stem color. A. If explanation #1 is correct what would you see if the F1 generation were self-crossed to produce an F2 generation. Make up appropriate genetic symbols for this model and work out the cross to the F2 generation. B. If explanation #2 is correct what would you see if the F1 generation were self-crossed to produce an F2 generation. Make up appropriate genetic symbols for this model and work out the…

If a heterozygous F1 Tobacco plant was crossed to an albino plant, what is the expected number of green and white plants in the next generation? (show Punnett square)  A woman homozygous dominant for albinism marries a man who is homozygous recessive for albinism. What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes percentages for their offspring? A man that can roll his tongue is heterozygous for the trait marries a woman that cannot roll her tongue. They have a child. The rolling tongue is dominant to not rolling tongue. What is the man’s genotype for tongue rolling? The women? Show the Punnett square for the child’s genotype Give the probability (percent chance) that the child can or cannot roll their tongue. Oh no! The F1 and F2 generation seed packet labels were mixed around. How would we know which seeds we planted by observing the color of the leaves? (Hint: What are the genotypes of the two generations? What color leaves do they produce in what ratios?)
