Concept explainers
To describe:
The proportion of offspring being heterozygous for all the genes.
Concept introduction:
Mating between two ferns, one having genotype
Explanation of Solution
Tabular representation:
Table.1: The progeny obtained by crossing AA and aa.
Table.2: The progeny obtained by crossing Bb and Bb.
Table.3: The progeny obtained by crossing Cc and CC.
Table.4: The progeny obtained by crossing dd and Dd.
Table.5: The progeny obtained by crossing Ee and ee.
Explanation:
The genotypes for the first traits are AA and aa. The gametes formed by these will be as follows:
The offspring obtained from crossing can be observed in the Punnett square in Table.1: “The progeny obtained by crossing AA and aa”. All the offspring would be heterozygous. The probability of having heterozygous offspring from first trait is
The genotypes for the second traits are Bb and Bb. The gametes formed by these will be as follows:
The probability of offspring produced from crossing can be observed in the Punnett square in Table.2: “The progeny obtained by crossing Bb and Bb”. There will be
The genotypes for the third traits are Cc and CC. The gametes formed by these will be as follows:
The offspring obtained from crossing can be observed in the Punnett square in Table.3: “The progeny obtained by crossing Cc and CC”. There will be
The genotypes for the fourth traits are dd and Dd. The gametes formed by these will be as follows.
The offspring obtained from crossing can be observed in the Punnett square in Table.4: “The progeny obtained by crossing dd and Dd”. There will be
The genotypes for the fifth traits are Ee and ee. The gametes formed by these will be as follows.
The offspring obtained from crossing can be observed in the Punnett square in Table.5: “The progeny obtained by crossing Ee and ee”. There will be
The probability of offspring heterozygous for all the traits can be calculated using the product rule that is by multiplying individual probabilities of heterozygotes for each trait. The probability of offspring heterozygous for all genes can be calculated as follows:
The probability of offspring heterozygous for all the genes is

- If a pea plant with the genotype YyRr is self-fertilized, what is the probability of obtaining offspring that are heterozygous for seed color and homozygous dominant for seed shape.arrow_forwardThe genetic identity of the female parent is RrGg and the genetic identity of the male parent is Rrgg. They produce 320 offspring together from a single mating: 57 red-eyed females with grey bodies, 61 red-eyed females with yellow bodies, 22 brown-eyed females with grey bodies, 20 brown-eyed females with yellow bodies.59 red-eyed males with grey bodies, 63 red-eyed males with yellow bodies, 20 brown-eyedmales with grey bodies, 18 brown-eyed males with yellow bodies. Show the simultaneous transmission of the two genes involved to give rise to the progeny given with the use of genetic diagrams and summaries as required. (Hint: you are only requiredto show the simultaneous transmission from the P to F1 generations)arrow_forwardCrosses between white and red flowered plants may result in pink flowered offspring. When a pink flowered plant is crossed with a red flowered plant the phenotypic ratio of their offspring would be O 2 white : 2 red 2 red : 2 pink O1 white : 2 pink : 1 red O1 white : 2 red : 1 pink 2 pink : 2 whitearrow_forward
- Use the figure and the following description to answer the question(s) below. In a particular plant, leaf color is controlled by gene locus D. Plants with at least one allele D have dark green leaves, and plants with the homozygous recessive dd genotype have light green leaves. A true- breeding, dark- leaved plant is crossed with a light- leaved one, and the F1 offspring is allowed to self- pollinate. The predicted outcome of the F2 is diagrammed in the Punnett square shown in the figure, where 1,2,3, and 4 represent the genotypes corresponding to each box within the square. D d D 1 2 4 Which of the boxes marked 1- 4 correspond to plants with a heterozygous genotype? 2 and 3 1 1,2, and 3 2, 3, and 4 3.arrow_forwardCOU f) What kind of offspring can be produced if a red-flowered plant is crossed with a pink-flowered plant? Show your work. g) What kind of offspring is/are produced if a pink-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant? Show your work. hleodarrow_forwardUse the following information about pea plants: S = spherical seeds; s = wrinkled seeds Y = yellow seeds; y = green seeds P = purple flowers; p = white flowers I = inflated pods; i = constricted pods Write the possible genotypes for the following conditions: Heterozygous for spherical seeds Homozygous for wrinkled seeds Homozygous for spherical seeds and heterozygous for flower colorarrow_forward
- In plants known as “ four o’ clocks”, the allele for the dominant red- flower color is is completely dominant over the allele for white-flowers. A gardener allows several heterozygous pink-flowered four o'clock to self pollinate and collects 200 seeds. Identify the flower color phenotypes and theoretical percentage.arrow_forwardY = yellow, y = green; R = round seed, r = wrinkled seed %3D An individual has the genotype YYRR and has offspring with an individual with the genotype yyrr. If the genes are both expressed with complete dominance, then what phenotype will all the offspring have? Yellow and Wrinkled Yellow and Round Green and Round Green and Wrinkledarrow_forwardThe probability that both alleles in the offspring are type A is the product of the probability that the allele from the pollen is A and the probability that the allele from the ovule is A (we will derive this in Section 6.5). What is the probability that the offspring of a homozygous parent is homozygous? What is the probability that the offspring of a homozygous parent is heterozygous?arrow_forward
- The trait of medium-sized leaves in iris is determined by the heterozygous genotype RT. Plants with large leaves are IKIK, whereas plants with small leaves are l'I A cross is made between two plants, each with medium-sized leaves. If they produce 80 seedlings, what would be the expected number of seedlings with small leaves?

If pollen (cells containing sperm nuclei) from the anther (male reproductive organ) of a homozygous red-flowered plant is added to the pistil (female reproductive organ containing the egg) of a white-flowered plant: a. What would be the expected phenotypic and genotypic ratios in the first generation of offspring? b. If two members of the first generation of offspring were crossed, what would be the expected phenotypic and genotypic ratios in the next generation?arrow_forwardThe trait of medium-sized leaves in iris is determined by the heterozygous genotype TRir.
