The text outlines some of the problems Frederick William I encountered in his attempt to breed tall Potsdam Guards. a. Why were the results he obtained so different from those obtained by Mendel with short and tall pea plants? b. Why were most of the children shorter than their tall parents?
Sunflowers with flowers 10 cm in diameter are crossed with a plant that has 20-cm flowers. The F1 plants have flowers 15 cm in diameter. In the F2 generation, 4 flowers are 10 cm in diameter and 4 are 20 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 in this strain of sunflowers? b. How much does each additive allele contribute to flower diameter? c. What size flower makes up the largest phenotypic class?
A is dominant over a and B is dominant over b. Genes A/a and B/b assort independently. The parental cross (P) is between true- breeding (homozygous) strains (AA bb x aa BB). The resulting F1 offspring would be [Select ] A F1 x F1 cross gives the F2 generation. The ratio of phenotypes in the F2 generation can be described as [ Select ] In the phenotypic ratio, what number refers to individuals that are: dominant for both traits? [ Select ] recessive for both traits? [Select ] To what phenotypes do the "3"s in the ratio refer? [ Select ] > >
A test cross between a plant of genotype PpSs and the tester white plant with wrinkled seed coat (ppss) gives the following numbers of progeny in four phenotypic types. 14:87:83:16 (purple flower + smooth seed coat: purple flower + wrinkled seed coat: white flower + smooth seed coat: white flower + wrinkled seed coat). a. What is the expected ratio of progeny phenotypes assuming independent assortment of alleles? b. Explain how ratios of progeny show that the two genes are linked. c. How many map units separate the purple and smooth genes? Show your calculations. d. What is the “parental” genotype of the heterozygous parent? (i.e. Which alleles of the P and S loci are present on each of the two chromosomes of the doubly heterozygous parent of this test cross?)
shown are the F2 results of two Mendel's monohybrid crosses. Mendel crossed 2 heterozygote parents. If he were to expect segregation to happen normally, do the results match his expectations? state a null hypothesis that you will test using chi-square analysis. Calculate the chi-square value and determine the p value for both crosses a. Full pods: 882; constricted pods: 299 (full pods are dominant over constricted) b. violet flowers: 705; white flowers: 500 (violet dominant over white)
In one study, Gregor Mendel crossed yellow-seeded, tall garden pea with a green-seeded,short garden pea. The F1 offspring were all yellow-seeded and tall. Assumingindependent assortment of these two genes, what phenotypes and proportions did he finamong F2 offspring when the F1 garden peas are allowed to fertilize themselves? Show the solution with punnett square.
A trait in garden peas involves the curling of leaves. A two-factorcross was made by crossing a plant with yellow pods and curlingleaves to a wild-type plant with green pods and normal leaves. AllF1 offspring had green pods and normal leaves. The F1 plants werethen crossed to plants with yellow pods and curling leaves. Thefollowing results were obtained: 117 green pods, normal leaves115 yellow pods, curling leaves78 green pods, curling leaves80 yellow pods, normal leavesA. Conduct a chi square analysis to determine if these two genesare linked.B. If they are linked, calculate the map distance between the twogenes. How accurate do you think this calculated distance is?
In classical Mendelian genetics, how can one check the genotype of a parent (A) expressing the characters of a dominant allele? Select one: a. By performing a back cross with a recessive homozygote parent (B). If the A parent is homozygote for the dominant allele, then all the individuals from the F1 will display the dominant character. If the parent A was, instead, a heterozygote, then 50% of the F1 progeny will express the recessive character (homozygote recessive) and 50% the dominant one (heterozygotes). b. It is impossible to check such genotype without using specific molecular assays. c. By performing a back cross with a dominant homozygote parent (B). If the A parent is homozygote for the dominant allele, then all the individuals from the F1 will display the dominant character.
In the shorthorn breed of cattle, The red and white coat colors are codominant with each other with the resulting hit rosagas condition being roan. A breeder has some white, some Roan, and some red cattle (female) And only one round bull (male). A. What color cow would be bread to the ro bowl to guarantee the best chance of having white offspring? B. What is the probability of a red cow cross with the Roan bull resulting in a white half? explain by using parent and possible offspring genotypes. C. What is one possible way that the farmer can guarantee having over red offspring by going outside of his breeding stock? Explain by using parent and possible offspring genotypes.
In corn, the genes for tassel length (alleles T and t) andrust resistance (alleles R and r) are known to be on separate chromosomes.
