In corn plants, a dominant allele (1) inhibits the expression of kernel color, while the recessiveallele (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 iftwo plants dihybrid for these characteristics are crossed.

Alleles are the alternative forms of a gene that are located on the same locus of a homologous…

A researcher crosses two white-flowered lines ofAntirrhinum plants as follows and obtains the followingresults:pure line 1 × pure line 2↓F1 all whiteF1 × F1↓F2 131 white29 reda. Deduce the inheritance of these phenotypes; useclearly defined gene symbols. Give the genotypes ofthe parents, F1, and F2.b. Predict the outcome of crosses of the F1 with eachparental line.
In corn plants, a dominant allele (I) inhibits kernel colour, but the recessive allele (i) permits colour when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant gene P causes purple kernel colour, and the homozygous recessive genotype pp causes red kernels. If plants that are heterozygous at both loci are crossed, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the F1 generation?
In c. elegans, genetics model organism, movement problems (unc) and small body size (sma) are encoded by two mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild-type traits (unc+ and sma+). A worm homozygous for movement problems and small body is crossed with a worm homozygous for the wild-type traits. The F1 have normal movement and normal body size. The F1 are then crossed with worms that have movement problems and small body size in a testcross. The progeny of this testcross is: Normal movement, normal body size 210 Movement problems, normal body size 9 Normal movement, small body size 11 Movement problems, small body size 193 a)From the test cross results, can you tell if the two genes are on the same chromosome or not? Explain your reasoning. b)What phenotypic proportions would be expected if the genes for round eyes and white body were located on different chromosomes? (please explain hot to get to these conclusions)
In wheat, aleurone cells form a thin layer of the seed coat that is critical to early gene expression in plant development. The color of this layer of cells is controlled by two alleles of a gene [colored aleurone (R) is dominant to colorless (r)]. A second gene is known to control the color of leaf tips [green leaf tip (G) is dominant to yellow (g)]. Two plants, each heterozygous for both characteristics, are test crossed to homozygous recessives, and their progeny are combined to produce the following totals: colored green 102 colored yellow 98 colorless green 103 colorless yellow 97 a) Use chi-square analysis to test these data for an independent assortment of the two characteristics (table provided). Please show work, how your expected values are calculated, and explain what your results indicate about the data. b) You decide to be cautious in your analysis, and decide to analyze the progeny from each of the crosses individually (instead of adding them together as shown above).…

Give typed explanation : In peas, tall (T) is dominant to short (t). A homozygous tall plant is crossed with a short plant. The F1 are self-fertilized to produce the F2. Both tall and short plants appear in the F2. If the tall F2 are self-fertilized, what types of offspring and proportions will be produced?
Let us suppose that two plants are crossed (mated). One plant (female) is homozygous dominant and produces chlorophyll, and the other (male) is homozygous recessive and does not produce chlorophyll. These two plants are considered the parental, or P generation. What would be the possible genotypes and phenotypes of these two individuals? Fill in the table below with the parental generation's descriptional information. Table 6.1 Female Male Description Parental Generation Homozygous dominant P Generation Genotype gg Phenotype Green

The data set attached summarizes F2 numbers from an F1 cross arising from two, true-breeding Drosophila strains (P generation), which differ with respect to two mutant traits. Here are the hypothesis: Leg length - The wild-type and mutant alleles for leg length are incomplete dominant relative to each other. Justification: The data set includes three phenotypic categories for leg length: wild type (long leg), medium leg, and truncated wings. The presence of three distinct phenotypes suggests an incomplete dominance pattern, where the heterozygous individuals exhibit an intermediate leg length phenotype (medium leg). The absence of purebred short-legged individuals supports the idea that the long leg allele is dominant over the short leg allele. This shows that mode of inheritance is incomplete dominance of the alleles relative to each other. Since the data does not mention any specific differences between males and females, we can assume that the mode of inheritance for the trait is…
