We think that dwarfism in river birch might be inherited as a single-locus, simple Mendelain trait. We have taken a pure breeding normal plant and crossed it with a a pure breeding dwarf plant. The resulting plants were self-pollinated with the following results: Normal River Birch 805 Dwarf River Birch 246 Perform a chi square analysis on this data using the following hypothesis: The mode of inheritance for plant height in the river birch is simple Mendelian. Calculate the chi square value without rounding and then round your final answer to three decimal digits and put it in the space provided.

F1 hybrids between two species of cotton, Gossypium barbadenseand Gossypium hirsutum, are very vigorous plants. However, F1crosses produce many seeds that do not germinate and a high percentageof very weak F2 offspring. Suggest two reasons for theseobservations.
A pure-breeding strain of squash that produced diskshaped fruits (see the accompanying illustration) wascrossed with a pure-breeding strain having long fruits.The F1 had disk fruits, but the F2 showed a new phenotype, sphere, and was composed of the followingproportions:Longlong 32 sphere 178 disk 270Sphere DiskPropose an explanation for these results, and showthe genotypes of the P, F1, and F2 generations.
A strain of plants has a mean height of 24 cm. A second strain ofthe same species from a different geographical region also has a mean height of 24 cm. When plants from the two strains arecrossed together, the F1 plants are the same height as the parentplants. However, the F2 generation shows a wide range ofheights; the majority are like the P1 and F1 plants, but approximately4 of 1000 are only 12 cm high, and about 4 of 1000 are36 cm high. Question: What mode of inheritance is occurring here?
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 maize trisomics, n + 1 pollen is not viable. If adominant allele at the B locus produces purple colorinstead of the recessive phenotype bronze and a B b btrisomic plant is pollinated by a B B b plant, whatproportion of the progeny produced will be trisomicand have a bronze phenotype?
In a plant, fruit color is either red or yellow, and fruit shape iseither oval or long. Red and oval are the dominant traits. Twoplants, both heterozygous for these traits, were testcrossed, withthe results shown in the following table. Determine the locationof the genes relative to one another and the genotypes of the twoparental plants.

Sunflowers with flowers 10 cm in diameter are crossed with a plant that has 20-cm flowers. The F1 plants have flowers 15 cm in diameter. In the F2 generation, 4 flowers are 10 cm in diameter and 4 are 20 cm in diameter. Between these are 5 phenotypic classes with diameters intermediate to those at the extremes. a. Assuming that the alleles that contribute to flower diameter act additively, how many genes control flower size in this strain of sunflowers? b. How much does each additive allele contribute to flower diameter? c. What size flower makes up the largest phenotypic class?
More Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment Determine the possible genotypes of the following parents by analyzing the phenotypes of their children. In this case, we will assume that brown eyes (B) is dominant to blue (b) and that right-handedness (R) is dominant to left-handedness (r). a. Parents: brown eyes, right-handed brown eyes, right-handed Offspring: 3/4 brown eyes, right-handed 1/4 blue eyes, right-handed b.

Height in humans is controlled by the additive action of genes and the action of environmental factors. For the purposes of this problem, assume that height is controlled by four genesA, B, C, and Dand that there are no environmental effects. Assume further that additive alleles contribute two units of height and partially additive alleles contribute one unit of height. a. Given these assumptions, can two individuals of moderate height produce offspring that are much taller and shorter than either parent? If so, how can this happen? b. Can someone of minimum height and someone of intermediate height have children taller than the parent of intermediate height? Why or why not?
Imagine that you are performing a cross involving seed texture in garden pea plants. You cross true-breeding round and wrinkled parents to obtain F1 offspring.

A wild-type fruit fly (heterozygous for gray body color andnormal wings) is mated with a black fly with vestigial wings.The offspring have the following phenotypic distribution: wildtype, 778; black vestigial, 785; black normal, 158; gray vestigial,162. What is the recombination frequency between these genesfor body color and wing size? Is this consistent with the resultsof the experiment in Figure 15.9?
A plant of phenotype 1 was selfed, and, in the progeny,there were 100 plants of phenotype 1 and 60 plants ofan alternative phenotype 2. Are these numbers compatible with expected ratios of 9:7, 13:3, and 3:1?Formulate a genetic hypothesis on the basis of yourcalculations
