Concept explainers
In the tomato, three genes are linked on the same chromosome. Tall
is dominant to dwarf, skin that is smooth is dominant to skin that is
peachy, and fruit with a normal rounded tomato shape is dominant
to oblate (flattened) shape. A plant that is true-breeding for the
dominant traits was crossed to a dwarf plant with peachy skin and
oblate fruit. The F1 plants were then testcrossed to dwarf plants with
peachy skin and oblate fruit. The following results were obtained:
151 tall, smooth, normal
33 tall, smooth, oblate
11 tall, peach, oblate
2 tall, peach, normal
155 dwarf, peach, oblate
29 dwarf, peach, normal
12 dwarf, smooth, normal
0 dwarf, smooth, oblate
A) Determine the coefficient of coincidence and the interference for these three loci.

- A plant with the genotype AAbb was crossed with one with the genotype aaBB. The F1 plants were testcrossed. If the genes are not linked, the expected genotypic ratio in the offspring of this testcross would be?arrow_forwardA variety of opium poppy with lacerate leaves was crossed with a variety that has normal leaves. All the F1 plants had lacerate leaves. Two F1 plants were then interbred to produce the F2. Of the F2 plants, 249 had lacerate leaves and 16 had normal leaves. What are the genotypes of the plants in the P (parental), F1, and F2 generations? How are lacerate leaves determined in the opium poppy? Note: You can use the symbols A and B to represent the two genes involved. (How do we know there are two?)arrow_forwardIn a series of crosses involving pea plants that have round or wrinkled seeds (round is dominant to wrinkled) and yellow or green seeds (yellow is dominant to green), the following ratios were observed in the progeny: Parents -----> Progeny a) round, green x wrinkled, yellow -> 100% round, yellow b) round, yellow x round, yellow ---> 9/16 round, yellow 3/16 round, green 3/16 wrinkled, yellow 1/16 wrinkled, green c) round, yellow x round, yellow ----> 3/4 round, yellow 1/4 wrinkled, yellow d) wrinkled, yellow x round, yellow -----> 6/16 wrinkled, yellow 2/16 wrinkled, green 6/16 round, yellow 2/16 round, green On the basis of these progeny ratios, determine a possible genotype for each of the parent plants in each set of crosses (a,b, c, and d). Sometimes more than one genotype is possible, but you need only suggest one.arrow_forward
- Tomato Plants In tomato plants, round fruit (R) is dominant to oval fruit (r). Pure breeding plants with red and round fruit (FFRR) were crossed to pure breeding plants with yellow and oval fruit (ffrr). The red and round F1 progeny were then testcrossed to plants that were homozygous recessive for both genes (ffrr) with the following results: Phenotypes Number of Offspring Red and round 2 255 Red and oval 290 Yellow and round 310 Yellow and oval 2 145 Part A: Record the phenotypes and the phenotype ratio in lowest terms. Part B: Convert the expected phenotypic ratio from Part A into the expected probability for each of the four phenotypes and record them in the table below. Calculate the probability for each of the four phenotypes observed in the cross from the data presented at the beginning of the question by dividing the number of progeny in each class by the total number of progeny and record these in the table below. (Probability = Number of Progeny in Phenotype…arrow_forwardTomato Plants In tomato plants, round fruit (R) is dominant to oval fruit (r). Pure breeding plants with red and round fruit (FFRR) were crossed to pure breeding plants with yellow and oval fruit (ffrr). The red and round F1 progeny were then testcrossed to plants that were homozygous recessive for both genes (ffrr) with the following results: Phenotypes Number of Offspring Red and round 2 255 Red and oval 290 Yellow and round 310 Yellow and oval 2 145 Complete a Punnett square to determine the expected testcross progeny on the basis of Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment. Record the phenotypes and the phenotype ratio in lowest terms.arrow_forwardAfter a cross between two corn plants, the F₁ plants all had a dwarf mutant phenotype. The F2 consisted of 1,207 dwarf plants and 401 tall plants. Identify the phenotypes and genotypes of the two parents.
