Question
Tall (T) pea plants are dominant over short (t) pea plants. What is the probability of getting 3 tall and 4 short pea plants from a cross between 2 heterozygous tall plants. (report to three nonzero digits.)
Expert Solution

Step 1
Law of dominance:-
This law indicates that in a heterozygous condition, the dominant allele is the one whose characters are expressed over the other allele, and the dominant characters are the ones whose characters are expressed over the other allele. Dominant characters are the characters that occur in the F1 generation. In the F2 generation, recessive traits appear.

- In pea plants yellow seed color, (GG) and round seed shape (WW) seeds are dominant traits, while green color or (gg) wrinkled shape (ww) seeds are recessive traits. You cross a pure breeding plant with yellow wrinkled seeds to a pure breeding plant with green round seeds to generate F1s. When you perform a reciprocal cross you get the same results. You take an F1 male and an F1 female to generate F2 offspring. You take an F2 male with rou and yellow seeds and mate them with an F2 female that has round green seeds. If these F2s produce 108 offspring, how many would be predicted to be green and wrinkled? a) 27 b) 3 c) 4 d) 7 e) 12arrow_forwardTwo pea plants are cross-pollinated .

- In pea plants stem length is either long(dominant) or short(recessive). 2 heterozygous long pea plants were crossed. The progeny included 402 pea plants, 308 of which were long and 94 of which were short. What is the ratio expected of long and short? 1:1 3:1 9:3:3:1 1:2:1arrow_forwardA. In summer squash, white fruit color (W) is dominant over yellow fruit color (w) and diskshaped fruit (D) is dominant over sphere-shaped fruit (d). If a squash plant true-breeding for white, disk-shaped fruit is crossed with a plant heterozygous fruit, what will the phenotypic and genotypic ratios be?arrow_forwardstudent crosses a pure-breeding line of red-flowered poinsettias with a pure-breeding line of white-flowered poinsettias. The student observes that all the pants in the F1 Generation have pink flowers. The student then crosses the F1 plants with one another and records the observations about the plants in the F2 generation. The student will use the F2 data to perform a chi-square goodness of fit test for a model of incomplete dominance. The setup for the student's chi-square goodness of fit test is presented in table 1. a. b. Table 1.

Long hair is a recessive condition and this trait is an example of complete dominance. Assume that you cross two cats heterozygous for this trait and that 8 offspring are produced. What is the probability any 7 of the 8 could have short hair? Write the answer in the form 2!/1!1! * (3/4)^5. Do not write the actual value.arrow_forward
