Chapter 13, Problem 7GP
Several alleles affect traits of roses, such as plant form and bud shape. Alleles of one gene govern whether a plant will be a climber (dominant) or shrubby (recessive). All F1 offspring from a cross between a true-breeding climber and a shrubby plant are climbers. If an F1 plant is crossed with a shrubby plant, about 50 percent of the offspring will be shrubby; 50 percent will be climbers. Using symbols A and a for the dominant and recessive alleles, make a Punnett- square diagram of the expected genotypes and

Tallness (T) in snapdragons is dominant to dwarfness (t), while red (R) flower color is dominant to white (r). The heterozygous condition results in pink (Rr) flower color. A dwarf, red snapdragon is crossed with a plant homozygous for tallness and white flowers. What are the genotype and phenotype of the F1 individuals?
Group of answer choices
A. TtRr–tall and red
B. TtRr–tall and pink
C. ttrr–dwarf and white
D. TTRR–tall and red
E. ttRr–dwarf and pink
Tallness (T) in a certain plant is dominant to short (t), while red (R) flower color is dominant to yellow (r). The heterozygous condition results in orange (Rr) flower color. A short plant with red flowers, is crossed with a plant homozygous for tallness and yellow flowers. What would be the genotype and phenotype of the F1 individuals?
ttRr—short and orange
ttrr—short and yellow
TtRr—tall and red
Ttrr—tall and yellow
TtRr—tall and orange
Waxy endosperm (wx), shrunken endosperm (sh), and yellow seedlings (v) are encoded by three recessive genes in corn that are linked on chromosome 5. A corn plant homozygous for all three recessive alleles is crossed with a plant homozygous for all the dominant alleles. The resulting F1 are then crossed with a plant homozygous for the recessive alleles in a three-point testcross. The progeny of the testcross are wx sh V 87 Wx Sh v 94 Wx Sh V 3,479 wx sh v 3,478 Wx sh V 1,515 wx Sh v 1,531 wx Sh V 292 Wx sh v 280 Total 10,756 a. Determine the order of these genes on the chromosome. b. Calculate the map distances between the genes. c. Determine the coefficient of coincidence and the interference among these genes.
