In venetian violets, three phenotypes occur with respect to flower color: a deep violet (almost back), a white, and a pale lavender. Two pale lavender flowered plants have been crossed. The F1 from this cross has individuals with deep violet flowers, with pale lavender flowers, and individuals with white flowers.
A. what are the parent genotypes?
B. what would the expected phenotypic ratio be in these F1 plants?
A dihybrid cross between a homozygous dominant for two traits (YYGG) is crossed with a homozygous recessive for two traits (yygg).
A. What percentage of the offspring would be YyGg in the F1 generation?
B. What is the expected phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation?
Petunia flower color is governed by two alleles, but neither allele is truly dominant over the other. Petunias with the genotype RR are red-flowered, those that are heterozygous (RW) are pink, while those with the (WW) genotype have white flowers. This is an example of incomplete dominance.
a. If a white-flowered plant is crossed with a red-flowered plant, what is the genotypic ratio of the F1.
b. What is the phenotypic ratio of the F1.
c. If two of the F1 offspring were crossed, what phenotypes would appear in the F2?.
d. What would be the genotypic ratio in the F2 generation?
