You are working for a parakeet breeder that has some green birds and some blue birds. You want to determine which feather color is dominant. You cross a blue male to each of two green females. In the first cross, the blue male is crossed to a green female named Gabby, resulting in 2 green and 2 blue offspring. In the second cross, the same blue male is crossed to a green female named Gail, resulting in 5 green offspring. Based on these results: ● ● ● [Select] Gail's genotype is [ Select] phenotype is dominant. The cross between the male and Gabby is called a [Select] cross.

Two pure-breeding lines of petunia plants are crossed. Line 1 plants grow to a height of 54 cm, and Line 2 plants grow to a height of 18 cm. Petunia plant height is controlled by three genes, A, B and C. Line 1 has the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁, and line 2 has the genotype A2A2B₂B₂C₂C₂. Assume that genotype alone determines plant height under ideal growth conditions and that the alleles of the three genes are additive. If the F1 plants are self crossed, what is the expected proportion of F2 plants with the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁ 1/8 1/32 1/16 1/4 1/64
Parakeets can have white, blue, green or yellow feathers. Feather color in parakeets is determined by two different genes Y and B. YYBB, YYBb, YyBB, or YyBb is green; yyBB or yyBb is blue; YYbb or Yybb is yellow; and yybb is white. A yellow parakeet and a white parakeet were crossed. Over the years, they produced 25 offspring, 12 of which were white. What are the most likely genotypes for the two parent parakeets? YyBb and Yybb yyBB and yybb yyBb and yyBb Yybb and Yybb Yybb and yybb
In tomatoes, regular leaves (L) are multilobed and serrated and potato leaves (l) are broad, smooth, and single (Image 1). Red fruit (F) is dominant to yellow fruit (f). A cross is carried out between two pure lines of tomato plants, one having regular leaves and red fruit and the other having potato leaves and yellow fruit. The F1 generation all have regular leaves and red fruit. The F1individuals are then crossed with one another. The information below represents two sets of data collected from the above cross.

The F1 generation all have regular leaves and red fruit. The F1individuals are then crossed with one another. Complete a Punnett square to determine the expected F2 progeny on the basis of Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment, which states that the alleles for one gene segregate independently of the alleles for other genes during gamete formation. Record the phenotypes and the phenotype ratio of the F2 generation in lowest terms.

A farmer has two homozygous varieties of tomatoes. One variety, called Little Pete, has fruits that average only 2 cm in diameter. The other variety, Big Boy, has fruits that average a whopping 14 cm in diameter. The farmer crosses Little Pete and Big Boy; he then intercrosses the F1 to produce F2 progeny. He grows 2000 F2 tomato plants and doesn’t find any F2 offspring that produce fruits as small as Little Pete or as large as Big Boy. If we assume that the difference between these varieties in fruit size is produced by genes with equal and additive effects, what can we conclude about the minimum number of loci with pairs of alleles determining the difference in fruit size between the two varieties?
In dogs, dark coat color phenotype (D) is dominant over albino (a) and short hair (S) is dominant over long hair (1).

Crossing two green corn plants results in 2/3 green progeny and 1/3 white progeny. If you cross 2 green progeny with each other, your expected phenotypic ratio is: The correct answer is 2 green and I white, but I don't know why.

We have dealt mainly with only two genes, but the sameprinciples hold for more than two genes. Consider thefollowing cross:A/a ; B/b ; C/c ; D/d ; E/e × a/a ; B/b ; c/c ; D/d ; e/ea. What proportion of progeny will phenotypicallyresemble (1) the first parent, (2) the second parent,(3) either parent, and (4) neither parent?b. What proportion of progeny will be genotypically thesame as (1) the first parent, (2) the second parent,(3) either parent, and (4) neither parent?Assume independent assortment.
