- Three enzymes are part of a sequential pathway that produces a pigment that makes flowers red. Each enzyme is the gene product of a different locus. If a trihybrid, heterozygous (+/-) for each of the three loci, is selfed, what fraction of the offspring will not be able to produce the red pigment (and will thus have white flowers)? Express your answer as a number between 0 and 1, rounding to 2 decimal places. For example, if you think 1/4 of the offspring will have white flowers, then answer 0.25arrow_forwardChoose one plsarrow_forwardAfter strenuous exercise, you may notice that your muscles burn and feel sore the next day. Which statement best explains this phenomenon? (a) Proteins in muscle cells are being digested to provide energy. (b) Carbon dioxide is building up in muscle cells and changing their pH. (c) Spontaneous combustion occurs during strenuous exercise, so avoid it at all costs! (d) ATP is accumulating in muscle cells, causing a burning sensation. (e) Without adequate oxygen, muscle cells are fermenting pyruvate into lactic acid.arrow_forward
- In one of his experiments, Mendel crossed homozygous yellow plants with homozygous green plants. The resulting F1 generation was allowed to self-fertilize. The F2 generation produced 930 yellow seeds and 305 green seeds. What are the genotypes of this F2 generation? O YY : yy O Yy : yy O Yy: yy O YY: Yy : yyarrow_forwardTwo 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?

- Fruit color in eggplants is controlled by a single autosomal gene, R, with two alleles R and r When a homozygous plant that produces purple fruit (RR) is crossed with a homozygous plant that produces white fruit (rr), all F1 offspring produce violet eggplants. When the F1 progeny are testcrossed, the F2 progeny produce 160 violet eggplants, and 154 white eggplants. Design a hypothesis for the mode of inheritance of eggplant color (explicitly state your null and alternate hypotheses). Test this hypothesis using a chi-squared test. Use the chi-squared critical value table provided to determine the outcome of your statistical test. Explain the results obtained (i.e. interpret the p-value).arrow_forwardGive typed explanation In pea plants, the tall allele (T) is dominant to the dwarf allele (t) and the yellow pea color allele (Y) is dominant to the green pea color allele (y).

(a) In a total of 1000 observed progeny, how many would be expected to be parental, non-recombinant?
