EXAMPLE PROBLEM A plant with orange, spotted flowers was grown in the greenhouse from a seed collected in the wild. The plant was self-pollinated and gave rise to the following progeny: 88 orange with spots, 34 yellow with spots, 32 orange with no spots, and 8 yellow with no spots. What can you conclude about the dominance relationships of the alleles responsible for the spotted and unspotted phenotypes? What can you conclude about the genotype of the original plant that had orange, spotted flowers?
picture shows the results of a cross between a tall pea plant and a short pea plant.
Q. What phenotypes and proportions will be produced if a tall F1 plant is backcrossed to the short parent?
Give 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). Cross TtYy with Ttyy.
What would be the genotype and phenotype ratios in their offspring?
(Please include the gametes produced by each parent.)

- a. State a hypothesis explaining the inheritance of flower color in painted tongues. b. Assign genotypes to the parents, F₁ progeny, and F2 progeny for all five crosses. c. In a cross between true-breeding yellow and true-breeding lavender plants, all of the F1 progeny are bronze.

Are there any genotypes that might produce a phenotype that you cannot predict from earlier experiments, and if so, how might this alter the phenotypic ratios among the F2 progeny?arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion Suppose that in a given species of plant the color of the flowers is determined by a gene whose dominant allele is embryonic lethal in homozygosis (AA).

- Help mearrow_forwardGive only typing answer with explanation and conclusion to all parts Two true-breeding varieties of maize, one 11 cm high and the other 47 cm high were crossed and the resultant F1 hybrids were then crossed to generate the F2 . In the F2 there were a total of 13,923 plants with a continuous variation in heights between the two extremes and with only 3 plants as large as 47 cm high and 5 plants of 11 cm high. a) How many i) genes and ii) how many alleles are involved in determining height in this plant? b) What is the contribution of each dominant allele to the phenotype in cm?arrow_forwardGive typed full explanation You are studying three linked genes in snapdragons. The flower color locus is in the center. There are 13.8 cM between the flower color locus and the plant height locus. There are 14.5 cM between the flower color locus and the leaf type locus. The coefficient of coincidence is 0.8. Pure-breeding tall, red-flowered plants with fuzzy leaves were crossed to pure-breeding dwarf, blue-flowered plants with smooth leaves. The F1 were testcrossed. Calculate the proportion of the testcross progeny that are expected to be dwarf with red flowers. Round properly to 4 decimal digits.arrow_forward
