Concept explainers
A snapdragon with pink petals, black anthers, and long
stems was allowed to self-fertilize. From the resulting
seeds, 650 adult plants were obtained. The phenotypes
of these offspring are listed here.
78 red long tan
26 red short tan
44 red long black
15 red short black
39 pink long tan
13 pink short tan
204 pink long black
68 pink short black
5 white long tan
2 white short tan
117 white long black
39 white short black
a. Using P for one allele and p for the other, indicate
how flower color is inherited.
b. What numbers of red : pink : white would have
been expected among these 650 plants?
c. How are anther color and stem length inherited?
d. What was the genotype of the original plant?
e. Do any of the three genes show independent
assortment?
f. For any genes that are linked, indicate the arrangements of the alleles on the homologous chromosomes in the original snapdragon, and estimate the
distance between the genes

Step by stepSolved in 3 steps
- Consider the following hypothetical gene a plant. Gene T produces a protein that impacts stem length. There are two alleles for gene T, T which produces long stems and t which results in short stems. If gene T displays incomplete dominance, which of the following genotypes above would have a different phenotype? and What would the phenotype be for this genotype?arrow_forwardThe purple colour results from the formation of a purple pigment in the skin of the kernel. The gene locus for the colour trait is designated “R”. The wrinkled phenotype arises from a decrease in the amount starch produced within the kernel. The gene locus for the texture trait is designated “S”. Present the data as monohybrids (Xx, XX, xx) for all five corn cobs andfor the plant. Present the colour and texture phenotypes with their associated genotypes in separate tables. Your first table should include the corn ID, the number of purple kernels, the number of yellow kernels, and the phenotypic ratio between the two kernel colours. Present the texture results in the same format to a separate table. What is the dominant phenotype for kernel colour in your assigned cornplant? What is the dominant phenotype for kernel texture in your assigned cornplant?arrow_forwardIn moss, the genes A and B are expressed only in the gametophyte. A sporophyte of genotype A/a ; B/b is allowed to produce gametophytes.a. What proportion of the gametophytes will be A ; B?b. If fertilization is random, what proportion of sporophytes in the next generation will be A/a ; B/b?arrow_forward
- If you cross heterozygous spherical (S) yellow (Y) seeded plant with dented(s), green(y) the offsping and the ratio would be: A)F:SsYy, ssyy; ration 1:1B)F: SSYy, Ssyy, ssYy, ssyy; ration 1:1:1:1C)F: SSYy, Ssyy, ssYy,ssyy; ration 1:1:1:1D)F: SsYy, Ssyy, ssYy, ssyy ration 1:1:1:1arrow_forwardConsider a corn plant dihybrid for the traits of purple and smooth kernels. When allowed to self-fertilize, 489 offspring are produced. How many of these offspring are expected to exhibit the traits of yellow and smooth kernels?arrow_forwardExplanation is greatly appreciated as to identify the chromosomes within the picture.arrow_forward
