Basic body color for horses is influenced by several genes, one of which has several different alleles, Two of these alleles—the chestnut (dark brown) allele and a diluting (pale cream) allele (often incorrectly called ‘albino’) - display incomplete dominance. A horse heterozygous for these two alleles is a palomino (golden body color with flaxen mane and tail). Is it possible to produce a herd of pure-breeding palomino horses? Why or why not? Work test cross for mating a palomino to a palomino and predict the phenotypic ratio among their offspring
The mean, standard deviation, variances, and coefficient of variance of plant height from two rice plants (P1 and P2) and their progeny (F1 and F2) and a backcross generation (P1 x F1) are shown below. Explain the possible reasons for the observed differences in the sample means. Account for the differences in the sample means of P1 and P2. Similarly, account for the differences in the sample means of the F1 and F2. Compare the difference in the parental generations with that in the filial generations.

How are the standard deviation and variance related to each other? How are they different than just measuring the range? Can plot samples of dandelion cover from two different locations have the same mean but different variance? Explain. Can you answer question 3? Thanks.
Given the following testcross data for corn in which the genes for fine stripe (f), bronze aleurone (bz) and knotted leaf (Kn) are involved: PhenotypeNumber Kn + +451 Kn f +134 + + + 97 + f bz436 Kn + bz18 + + bz119 + f +24 Kn f bz86 Total:1,365 Maize geneticists tend to be like Drosophila geneticists utilizing a + to indicate the wild type allele (which also is dominant) and a lower case letter for the mutant allele (which is recessive). The first thing I suggest in attacking this problem is to use the typical convention of upper case letters for dominant alleles and lower case letters for recessive alleles as follows: F = wild type, f = fine stripe; B = wild type, b = bronze aleurone K = wild type, k = knotted leaf Then we can rewrite the phenotypes in a “language” that is more easily understood: PhenotypeNumber k F B451 k f B134 K F B97 K f b436 k F b18 K F b119 K f B24 k f b86 Total:1,365 a) Determine the sequence (order) of the…

The mean and standard deviation of plant height from two rice plants (P1 and P2) and their progeny (F1 and F2) and a backcross generation (P1 x F1) are shown below. Compare the sample variances of P1 and P2. Account for any differences. Similarly, compare the sample variances of the F1 and F2 generations, and account for any differences. Give the possible causes of variation in each generation.
What is the mathematical expression for the genetic equilibrium for genes with two alleles? Is this statistical distribution the same as the statistical distribution of the respective phenotypes?
A cross was performed using Drosophila melanogaster involving a female known to be heterozygous for both ebony body and sepia eyes and a male known to be homozygous for both of these recessive traits. The following data was produced from the cross. Test these data to determine if they are significantly different from the expected phenotypic ratio. Remember to use the 5% level of significance Wild eye Wild body – 102, Wild eye Ebony body – 94, Sepia eye Wild body – 100, Sepia eye Ebony body – 93. Your answer should include the hypothesized cross in genotypes, the Chi-squared value, the critical value and whether you reject or do not reject.
