Question
Wheat kernel color is an additive trait controlled by two genes, gene A and gene B. The A1 and B1 alleles add 1 unit of color to the kernels. The A2 and B2 alleles add 0 units of color to the kernels.
Question 1:
If you crossed a dihybrid (A1A2 B1B2) individual to a A2A2 B2B2 individual, which of the following phenotypes are possible?
a. 0 units (white)
b. 1 unit (light pink)
c. 2 units (dark pink)
d. 3 units (light red)
e. 4 units (dark red)
Question 2:
If you crossed a dihybrid (A1A2 B1B2) individual to a A2A2 B2B2 individual, what is your expected phenotypic ratio?
a. 1:2:1
b. 1:1:1:1
c. 9:3:3:1
d. 3:1

- Two gene loci, A and B, are on separate chromosomes and alleles A and B are dominant over alleles a and b. A codes for long branches, a codes for short branches. B codes for green leaves and b codes for blue leaves. A branch diagram or a punnett square would be useful for you to work this problem. What percentage of the progeny will have short branches and blue leaves from a cross AaBb × Aabb? Group of answer choices 1/8 1/4 1/2 3/4arrow_forwardYou have an autotetraploid plant with genotype AAaa that undergoes self-fertilization. At least two copies of the dominant allele A are needed to obtain the dominant phenotype. At what frequency will progeny with the dominant phenotype appear? Type your answer as a fraction, with no spaces (e.g., 1/16).arrow_forwardA homozygous fly with two recessive mutations causing purple body and short wings (ppss) is mated with a fly heterozygous for both mutations (p+p and s+s): "+" represents the wild-type allele. They have the following offspring: 26 Wild type (normal body, normal wings) 345 Purple body, normal wings 376 Normal body, short wings 13 Purple body, short wings What is the allele arrangement (haplotype) for the heterozygous parental fly?

- I have a vial of F2 offspring resulting from a two-generation cross between true-breeding wildtype females and true-breeding pink-bodied males. I scored F2 phenotypes for a total of 120 flies and obtain the following data: Based on the above observed data in the chart, determine the expected number of flies for the following three scenarios provided in a-c below. Show work for each calculation. 3) The mutant allele is recessive and is located on the X chromosomearrow_forwardThe following results were obtained from a dihybrid cross between two pea plants: 315 plants with round seeds and yellow flowers 101 plants with wrinkled seeds and yellow flowers 108 plants with round seeds and white flowers 32 plants with wrinkled seeds and white flowers Assume that round seeds and yellow flowers are dominant and both parent plants were heterozygous for both traits.arrow_forwardA cross is performed between individuals with the following genotypes: Aabb and aaBb. Use a Punnett square and predicted probabilities to answer the following questions. A. What is the probability that an offspring is dominant for the first trait and recessive for the second? B. What is the probability that an offspring is dominant for both traits? C. What is the probability that two offspring are dominant for both traits?arrow_forward
