Assume that the length of wheat leaves is controlled by three loci, each with two alleles: L and I, W and w, H and h. Determine the differences in leaf length between two homozygous strains of wheat. Assume each allele contributes equally to the length of the plant leaves. One homozygous strain, ll ww hh, has leaves that are 100 mm in length, and the other strain, LL WW HH, has 220 mm leaves. The two homozygous strains are crossed, and the resulting F₁ are selfed to produce F₂ progeny. What length will the leaves of the Ll Ww Hh genotype plant be? leaf length: What proportion of the F₂ progeny will have the same phenotype as the LI Ww Hh genotype? Input answer as a decimal. proportion: mm

Vulcans have pointed ears (determined by allele P), absent adrenals (determined by A), and a right-sided heart(determined by R). All these alleles are dominant to normal Earth alleles: rounded ears (p), present adrenals (a),and a left-sided heart (r). The three loci are autosomaland linked as shown in this linkage map:10 m.u. 25 m.u.P A RMr. Spock, first officer of the starship Enterprise, has aVulcan father and an Earthling mother. If Mr. Spock marries an Earth woman and there is no (genetic) interference, what proportion of their children will havea. Vulcan phenotypes for all three characters?b. Earth phenotypes for all three characters?c. Vulcan ears and heart but Earth adrenals?d. Vulcan ears but Earth heart and adrenals?

A series of experiments shows that oil content in a diploid grain is influenced by four genes (a through d) with additive alleles. The highest-producing strain has 30% oil content; the lowest has 0%. A plant of unknown genotype has an oil content of 22.5%. What is a possible genotype for this plant (+ - additive alleles)?

In corn plants, a dominant allele (I) inhibits kernel colour, but the recessive allele (i) permits colour when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant gene P causes purple kernel colour, and the homozygous recessive genotype pp causes red kernels. If plants that are heterozygous at both loci are crossed, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the F1 generation?

A complementation analysis was performed using Drosophila which normally have black wings. Six mutants for clear wings were discovered. The mutants were bred in a complementation test to produce the following: Mutant 2 4 # 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 1 1 Where a "0" (zero) means clear wing offspring and a "1" (one) means wildtype (black wing offspring). How many genes can you identify that affect the production of wing colour in Drosophila? O a. 3 O b.4 О с. 5 O d. 6 O e. none of the above 3. 5

Consider sweet peas where aabb genotypic class produces purple flowers and all other genoitypic classes have white flowers. A)- If the parental generation is AA bb * aa BB what phenotypic ration do you expect in the F2 generation assuming complete penetrance ? B)- suppose now that only 75% of aabb individuals have purple flowers (that is, the penetrance of this trait is 75%. what phenotypic ratio do you now expect among the F2 plants? Also, in doing these types of crosses, what other phenomena (other than incomplete dominance) could explain the phenotypic ratio answered in part b.

We are interested in detremining the genetic map of three different house finch traits: beak color (dark vs light), song length (short vs long) and patch size (reduced vs normal). We have done a large experiment involving the usual PO crossed, with the F1 test crossed. The following are the data for the offspring from the test cross: Beak Shade Patch Size Song Length Number Observed Dark Normal Long 67 Light Normal Long 3 Light Normal Short 498 Dark Normal Short 43 Dark Reduced Short 13 Light Reduced Short 80 Light Reduced Long 50 Dark Reduced Long 389 Choose the map below that best fits the data Beak Shade- 14.26CM- Patch Size- 9.54CM-Song Length O Patch Size-9.54cM- Beak Shade- 14.26CM-Song Length O Patch Size- 14.26cM- Beak Shade- 9.54CM-Song Length O Beak Shade-9.54cM-Patch Size- 14.26CM-Song Length O Patch Size-9.54CM- Song Length- 14.26CM-Beak Shade O Patch Size- 14.26cM-Song Length- 9.54cM-Beak Shade

In corn plants, a dominant allele (1) inhibits the expression of kernel color, while the recessive allele (1) promotes the expression of kernel color when homozygous. Another dominant allele, (P), causes purple kernel color, while the homozygous recessive genotype (pp) causes red kernels. Assuming that these alleles assort independently, predict the phenotypic ratio of the offspring if two plants dihybrid for these characteristics are crossed.

In some plants a red pigment is synthesized from a colorless precursor. The addition of a hydroxyl group to the precursor molecule causes it to become purple. In a cross between two randomly selected purple plants, the following results were obtained. 94 purple 31 red 43 white Q:What are the genotypes of the two random purple plants?       R/r; P/p X R/r; P/p       R/r; p/p X R/r; p/p       r/r; P/p X r/r; P/p       r/r; p/p X r/r; p/p       R/R; P/P X r/r; p/p
