Question
Two strains of corn are 1 m (100 cm) and 3.4 m (340 cm) tall. Assume the difference
arises from alleles at four genes, each with two alleles, with one allele of each gene
contributing additively to height. The 3.4-m plant's genotype is AABBCCDD and the 1-m
plant is aabbccdd.
Part 1
How many centimeters of height does each allele that is represented by a capital letter
contribute?
1.7 cm
30 cm
42.5 cm
60 cm
120 cm
Part 2
What would be the shortest plants produced from the following cross?
AaBBccDd× AabbccDd
100 cm
120 cm
130 cm
160 cm
175 cm
