You are working on the genetics of flower color traits from a plant. After collecting various color mutants, You do a number of crosses, eventually obtaining F2 data, from which you can now infer modes of inheritance for each cross (i.e., each system of alleles and/or genes). Cross F2 Outcomes 51 medium purple, 34 light purple, 32 dark purple, 9 very dark purple, 8 white 50 purple, 19 blue, 18 red, 6 white 48 purple, 24 blue. 23 white 45 purple, 36 pink 104 white, 24 purple 46 purple, 15 white G 48 light purple, 24 white, 23 purple

- 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.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 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.

- In corn, a triple heterozygote was obtained carrying themutant alleles s (shrunken), w (white aleurone), andy (waxy endosperm), all paired with their normal wildtype alleles. This triple heterozygote was testcrossed, andthe progeny contained 116 shrunken, white; 4 fully wildtype; 2538 shrunken; 601 shrunken, waxy; 626 white;2708 white, waxy; 2 shrunken, white, waxy; and 113 waxy.a.

Calculate interference, if appropriate.A corn geneticist wants to obtain a corn plant that hasthe three dominant phenotypes: anthocyanin (A), longtassels (L), and dwarf plant (D). In her collection ofpure lines, the only lines that bear these alleles are AALL dd and aa ll DD. She also has the fully recessive lineaa ll dd. She decides to intercross the first two and testcross the resulting hybrid to obtain in the progeny aplant of the desired phenotype (which would have to beAa Ll Dd in this case). She knows that the three genesare linked in the order written, that the distance between the A/a and the L/l loci is 16 m.u., and that thedistance between the L/l and the D/d loci is 24 m.u.a.
