In a dihybrid cross (2 sets of alleles, independently assorted) each parent (heterozygous for both traits) can have 4 combinations of alleles in their gametes), so to calculate the odds for inheritance of particular genetic combinations, we must draw out 16 squares. In the case of our purple/yellow and starchy/sweet corn kernels, we can calculate the odds of the possible phenotypes. Purple & starchy: purple & sweet: yellow & starchy: yellow & sweet, can be calculated as 9:2:2:3 9:3:3;1 5:4:4:3

A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?
In garden pea, resistance to a certain disease is controlled by a single locus with dominance forresistance (R) and recessive susceptible (r). Another locus governs seed color with yellow being dominant (Y)to green (y). A pea plant which is heterozygous for both gene pairs is crossed with a susceptible and green-seeded plant. The following data was observed in the progeny. Phenotype NumberResistant yellow 43Susceptible green 49Resistant green 16Susceptible yellow 12Total 120 a. What is the calculated chi-square value based on an independent assortment assumption? Compute forthe df and write the conclusion. (NOTE: The cross will not yield a 9:3:3:1 ratio since not both of theparental genotypes are heterozygous for the 2 pairs of alleles. Thus, perform the cross first, show theparental genotypes, the gamete…
Mendelian ratios are modified in crosses involving autotetraploids.Assume that one plant expresses the dominant trait greenseeds and is homozygous (WWWW). This plant is crossed to onewith white seeds that is also homozygous (wwww). If only onedominant allele is sufficient to produce green seeds, predict theF1 and F2 results of such a cross. Assume that synapsis betweenchromosome pairs is random during meiosis.
In a dihybrid cross of two bi-allelic Mendelian genes, A (two alleles – completely dominant A and recessive a), and B (two alleles – completely dominant B and recessive b), such that the parental generation comprises of pure-bred homozygotes (i.e. AABB with aabb), what are the expected genotype and phenotype ratios in the F1 and F2, if the F1 cross is (a) an intercross and if the F1 cross is (b) a testcross
Assume that plant height is determined by a pair of alleles at each of two loci (A and a, B and b) that are additive in their effects. Further assume that each allele represented by an uppercase letter contributes 6 feet to height and that each allele represented by a lowercase letter contributes 2 foot to height. If a plant with genotype Aabb is crossed to a plant with genotype aaBb, what heights are expected in the progeny? 1/216ft : 1/2 12ft 1/4 16ft : 1/2 12ft : 1/4 8ft 1/4 20ft : 1/2 16ft : 1/4 12ft 1/4 24ft : 1/2 20ft : 1/4 16ft 1/2 20ft : 1/2 16ft
in sweet peas, the allele P is needed for color expression (pp results in no color). the precise color expressed is determined by the alleles B(red) and b (blue). what are the genotypes and phenotpyes of the progeny for the following cross: PPBb x Ppbb. List the ratios of genotpyes and phenotypes of the progeny
Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment refers to [ Select ] In the picture below, what assorts independently from each other? [ Select ] If the cell in the picture below undergoes S phase and then Meiosis, what are the possible gamete types? [ Select ] Parent cell A- 2n=4 a- B.
Two genes of a flower, one controlling blue (B) versus white(b) petals and the other controlling round (R) versus oval (r)stamens, are linked and are 10 map units apart. You cross ahomozygous blue oval plant with a homozygous white round plant. The resulting F1 progeny are crossed with homozygouswhite oval plants, and 1,000 offspring plants are obtained.How many plants of each of the four phenotypes do youexpect?
Two unlinked genes, A and B, encode very similar enzymes involved in the production of purple flower pigments in a particular plant species. Recessive, non-functional alleles a and b are available. If the A and B genes are functionally redundant, so a single functional copy of either gene is sufficient for purple pigmentation, what proportion of the progeny of a cross between AaBb double heterozygotes is expected to have white flowers? 1/8 O 1/4 O 1/16 O 1/32
In watermelons, the green colour gene (G) is dominant over the striped colour gene (g), and round shape (R) is dominant over long shape (r). A heterozygous round green colour (GgRr) watermelon plant is crossed with another heterozygous round green colour (GgRr) plant. Determine the expected phenotypic ratio of the F1 generation.
In radishes, flower colors may be red, purple, or white. The edible portion of the radish may be long or oval. When only flower color is studied, no dominance is evident, and red 3 white crosses yield all purple. If these F1 purples are interbred, the F2 generation consists of 1/4 red: 1/2 purple: 1/4 white. Regarding radish shape, long is dominant to oval in a normal Mendelian fashion. a. Determine the F1 and F2 phenotypes from a cross between a true-breeding red, long radish, and a radish that is white and oval. Be sure to define all gene symbols at the start. b. A red oval plant was crossed with a plant of unknown genotype and phenotype, yielding the following offspring:103 red long: 101 red oval98 purple long: 100 purple oval Determine the genotype and phenotype of the unknown plant.
Gray seed color in peas is dominant to white. Assume that Mendel conducted a series of experiments where plants with gray seeds were crossed with each other and the following progeny were produced: 320 gray and 80 white.
