- In peas, tall is dominant over dwarf. If a plant homozygous for tall is crossed with one homozygous for dwarf : a. What will be the genotype(s) (use the initial of your last name) and phenotype (s) of the F1 plants? b. If the F1 is grown the next season, predict the possible genotypes and phenotypes. c. If you cross the F1 to the tall parent, what phenotype will result of the cross? What will be the ratio of the genotype? d. If you cross the F1 to the short parent, what phenotype will result of the cross? What will be the ratio of the genotype?arrow_forwardA true breeding tall plant was crossed to a dwarf plant. Tallness is a dominant trait. The F1 individuals were allowed to self-fertilize. What are the following probabilities for the F2 generation. The first plant is dwarf.

When this F1 is self-crossed, it yields an F2 with a continuous distribution of heights. What is the best explanation for these data? a. Height is determined by a single gene with incomplete dominance. b. Height is determined by a single gene with many alleles. c. Height is determined by the additive effects of many genes. d. Height is determined by epistatic genes.arrow_forward

If you cross two plants with the Yy genotype, what percentage of the offspring will have yellow kernels? B.What percentage of the offspring will have the same genotype as the parent plants? C.Say you're also interested in corn plant height where tall plants (T) are dominant to short plants (t). You want to save some time and just cross your plants once. The P1 genotypes are YyTT and YYTt. Will you get any short plants with yellow kernels from this cross? Why or why not? D. If these traits, kernel color and height were linked, how would this affect your experimental outcomes? Would you expect the laws of Mendelian genetics to still apply? Why or why not ?arrow_forwardTallness (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.
