Question
In sweet peas, gene C or P alone produces white flowers, the purple colour being due to the presence of both these factors. What will be the flower colour of the offsprings of the following crosses, in which genotypes of parents are given;

- A) In these plants, green leaf color is dominant to yellow leaf color. You are given a plant with green leaves and are asked to determine its genotype. What type of cross will you perform? B) The results of this cross are: 50% green leaf plants and 50% yellow leaf plants. What is the genotype of the green leaf plant you were given?arrow_forwardIn tomatoes, regular leaves (L) are multilobed and serrated and potato leaves (l) are broad, smooth, and single (Image 1). Red fruit (F) is dominant to yellow fruit (f). A cross is carried out between two pure lines of tomato plants, one having regular leaves and red fruit and the other having potato leaves and yellow fruit. The F1 generation all have regular leaves and red fruit. The F1 individuals are then crossed with one another. Complete a Punnett square to determine the expected F2 progeny on the basis of Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment, which states that the alleles for one gene segregate independently of the alleles for other genes during gamete formation.arrow_forwardYou are looking at the color of feathers in ducks and find that yellow ducks (Y) are dominant to green ducks (y). However, a second gene, H, controls whether the color will be expressed in the feathers. If the duck is hh, the duck will always be white, because the pigment does not go into feathers. What ratio of phenotypes would you expect following a dihybrid cross? A) 9:6:1 B) 9:3:4 C) 13:3 D) 15:1 E) 12:3:1arrow_forward
- An individual with the genotype F/f • G/g • H/h is testcrossed. Among the progeny, the proportions of genotypes from this cross are shown in the following table: a) What gene is in the middle? Type you answer in this box: b) Calculate the genetic distances (in centimorgans, cM) between: genes g and f: genes f and h: genes g and h: c) What are the genotypes of the two parents? d) Calculate the interference and type your answer here:arrow_forwardPigment in mouse fur is only produced when the C allele is present. Individuals of the cc genotype are white. If color is present, it may be determined by the A, a alleles. AA or Aa results in agouti color, while aa results in black coats. (a) What F1 and F2 genotypic and phenotypic ratios are obtained from a cross between AACC and aacc mice? (b) In three crosses between agouti females whose genotypes were unknown and males of the aacc genotype, the following phenotypic ratios were obtained: (1) 8 agouti (2) 9 agouti (3) 4 agouti 8 white 10 black 5 black 10 white What are the genotypes of these female parents?arrow_forwardIn the tomato, yellow flowers (Y) is dominant to white flowers (y). A true-breeding yellow flowered strain is crossed with a true-breeding white flowered strain.A. If the F1 generation is self crossed, what will be the genotypes and phenotypes of the progeny and in what portions are they expected? B. If an F1 plant were crossed with a plant from true-breeding white flowered strain, what will be the genotypes and phenotypes of the progeny and in what portions are they expected?arrow_forward

The F1 all had red eyes. The F1s were intercrossed to produce F2 generation that consisted of 175 red eyed:81 white eyed. Provide the genetics of inheritance of this trait. Provide the genotypes for the F1s and F2s of this cross.arrow_forwardIn tomatoes, a heterozygous plant with normal fruit and purple stems is crossed with a recessive plant having fasciated fruit and green stems (test cross). The following distribution of offspring is observed: normal fruit, purple stems 38.5% fasciated fruit, green stems 38.5% normal fruit, green stems 11.5% fasciated fruit, purple stems 11.5% What is the recombination frequency?arrow_forward
- The eye ring color in wood ducks is under the control of a single, sex linked gene. The dominant allele (R) produces a white eye ring and the recessive allele (r) produces a green eye ring. Provide the results to the following crosses (note birds have ZZ:ZW sex determination). a) Provide the phenotypes and phenotypic ratios of a cross between a female with a white eye ring and a male with a green eye ring. b) Determine the phenotypes and phenotypic ratios for a cross involving an F1 female and an F1 male from the above cross.arrow_forwardIn some plants, a true-breeding, red-flowered variety gives all pink flowers when crossed with a white-flowered strain: RR (red) X rr (white) = Rr (pink). Flower position in this plant may either be axial (dominant) or terminal (recessive). What will be the phenotypic ratios of the F1 generation resulting from the following cross: axial-red (true-breeding) X terminal-white? What will the phenotypic ratios of the F2 be? SHOW ALL WORKarrow_forwardYou have two true-breeding strains of coneflower. One strain has purple flowers and purple stems. The other strain has white flowers and green stems. When you cross these strains the F1 generation has purple flowers and purple stems. From this information you know that purple flowers is dominant to white flowers and that purple stems is dominant to green stems. In terms of genetic mechanisms, there could be two explanations: (1) flower color and stem color are each controlled by separate, independently segregating genes, and (2) there is one gene controlling both flower color and stem color. A. If explanation #1 is correct what would you see if the F1 generation were self-crossed to produce an F2 generation. Make up appropriate genetic symbols for this model and work out the cross to the F2 generation. B. If explanation #2 is correct what would you see if the F1 generation were self-crossed to produce an F2 generation. Make up appropriate genetic symbols for this model and work out the…arrow_forward
