Question

Could you please help me with figuring out the answers to these Genetics practice questions? My professor does not provide the answers and I have done however do not know if I am right. I have two more pictures of problems from where the submitted ones end of. 

BIO392-01 FA19 Chapter 2 practice questions
2-1 In peas, the smooth allele is dominant over the wrinkled allele. A plant with round peas was
crossed to a plant with wrinkled peas and all of the resulting plants had smooth peas. What are the genotypes of the
parents in this cross?
A) RR
B) RR Rr
C) Rr xr
D) Rr x Rr
E) т жт
2-2 In peas, the yellow allele is dominant over the green allele. A plant with yellow peas was crossed to a plant with
green peas. The resulting plants were 50% yellow and 50% green. What are the genotypes of the parents in this cross?
A) YY x yy
В) YY и Ту
C) Гу уу
D) Yy x Yy
E) уу х уу
2-3 Assuming independent assortment, what phenotypice ratio would you expect to see if an individual with the genotype
RrGg is self-crossed?
A) 1:3
B) 9:3:3:1
C) 1:2:
D) 1:3:2:
E) 3:1
2-4 In peas, axial (A) flower position is dominant to temminal (a), and tall (L) is dominant to short (). If a plant that is
heterozygous for both traits is allowed to self-fertilize, how many of the offspring would also be heterozygous for both
traits?
A) 9/16
B) 1/4
C) 3/16
D) 1/8
E) 1/16
2-5 If a plant with purple, axial flowers and green, inflated pods is heterozygous for all four genes, how many different
types of gametes can it produce?
A) 1
В) 4
C) 8
D) 9
E) 16
2-6 The gene L detemines hair length in rabbits. The gene B determines hair color. A rabbit with long, black hair is
crossed to a rabbit with short, white hair. All the offspring have long, black hair. What are the genotypes of the parents?
A) LLBB x bb
В) LIBЬ * LIBЬ
С) LIBЬ * 1ьЬ
D) LIЬЬ x 1ВЬ
E) Impossible to determine from the information given

2-8 Humans have a gene, T, that is involved in muscle formation of the tongue. Individuals homozygous for one allele can
roll their tongues, while individuals homozygous for the other allele cannot. If both parents can roll their tongues, but their
child cannot, what can be said about the mode of inheritance?
