Question
In a field of 10,000 pea plants, a farmer observes that 8,500 exhibit the dominant round (R) seed shape. How many of the the individual plants are likely heterozygous for round seeds? 1,500, 3,700, or 4,800

- In a population of plants, leaf hairiness is determined by a single locus with two alleles: H and h. Out of 319 individuals in the population, 25 % are completely hairy, 9 % are partially hairy, and the remaining are hairless. Complete hairiness is caused by homozygosity of the H allele at a single locus; hairlessness is caused by homozygosity of the h allele at that locus; heterozygotes are partially hairy. What is the expected (predicted under H–W) number of individuals with partially hairy leaves?arrow_forwardA researcher at ASU is studying the exotic Unicorn Fairy plant. The plant has three genes of interest with the dominant alleles being T-tall, H=hairy leaves and P=purple flowers. The three genes are located in different chromosomes. A trihybrid plant is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for T and homozygous recessive for the other two genes. What is the probability of getting offspring that is tall, has hairy leaves and white flowers? 9/64 5/8 8/64 O 3/64 O 3/16arrow_forwardA man with red hair (hh) reproduces with a heterozygotic woman (Hh). Does the woman have red hair? What about their children? Create a Punnett square and determine the ratio or percentage of their offspring that have red hair. As stated in the discussion of independent assortment and dihybrids above, pea color and coat texture are independent traits in pea plants. Yellow (G) is dominant over green (g) and smooth (W) is dominant over wrinkled (w). What would the phenotypic ratios of the offspring of parents with genotypes GGww and ggwW? Show your work with a Punnett square. Review the information on Labrador retrievers above. What are the phenotypic ratios of the F1 generation offspring of two dihybrids? Make sure to match the numbers with coat colors (e.g, which number in the ration goes with which color). Use a Punnett square to determine the ratios and show your work. Make sure to state the phenotypic ratios. Finally, what color are the parents? Two other Labradors mate and…arrow_forward
- In a population of 100 pea plants, there are two variations for flower color--purple and white. After counting the number of white plants were 9 plants.

- Using the numbers of observed F2 progeny provided in the table (attached picture), write a proper hypothesis of your expectations for the phenotypic ratios in the F2 generation and use this to complete the rest of the table.arrow_forwardYou are mapping three loci in Brandywine apricot trees (Prunus brandybucki), an important agricultural species in the Shire. In Brandywine apricot trees, sour fruit (fr+) is dominant to fishy-tasting fruit (fr), blue flowers (b+) is dominant to yellow flowers (b), and short, bushy height (sh+) is dominant to tall, tree-like height (sh). You perform a testcross with a plant that is heterozygous for all three loci and get the following offspring: Fruit flavor Flower color Plant height Observed Counts fr+ b+ sh+ 61 fr b sh 53 fr+ b+ sh 11 fr b sh+ 7 fr+ b sh 277 fr b+ sh+ 285 fr+ b sh+ 156 fr b+ sh 150 Total 1000 What is the recombination frequency between b and sh?arrow_forwardIn 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.arrow_forward
- Consider a corn plant dihybrid for the traits of purple and smooth kernels. When allowed to self-fertilize, 489 offspring are produced. How many of these offspring are expected to exhibit the traits of yellow and smooth kernels?arrow_forwardRound (R) and yellow (Y) are dominant over wrinkled (r) and green (y) peas. Given the case that parent plant 1 is homozygous for the round pea trait and heterozygous for the yellow trait, and parent plant 2 is heterozygous for the round trait and is green, answer the following questions 1. The genotype for parent plant 1 is and the genotype for parent plant 2 is 2. The percentage of offspring with green peas is 3. The percentage of offspring with wrinkled peas is % 4. The offspring would most likely show the phenotypes of shaped peas and coloured peas.arrow_forward
