Concept explainers
The seeds in bush bean pods are each the product of an independent fertilization event. Green seed color is domi-nant to white seed color in bush beans. If a heterozygous plant with green seeds self-fertilizes, what is the probabil-ity that 6 seeds in a single pod of the progeny plant will consist of
a. 3 green and 3 white seeds?
b. all green seeds?
c. at least 1 white seed?

- Two plants in a cross were each heterozygous for two gene pairs (AB/ab) whose loci are linked and 10 map units (mu) apart. (Recall that 1 mu is equal to 1% recombination between two genes.) Assuming that crossing over occurs during the formation of both male and female gametes and that the A and B alleles are dominant, determine the phenotypic ratio of their offspring. Part D If the two genes are 15 mu apart and the plant is (Ab/aB), what proportion of gametes from a signal plant will be ab? Part E What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be A_B_ if the genes are 15 mu apart? Part F What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be A_bb if the genes are 15 mu apart? Part G What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be aaB_ if the genes are 15 mu apart? Part H What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be aabb if the genes are 15 mu apart? How would I solve these?arrow_forwardA farmer crossed a tall (T) pea plant carrying yellow seeds and a dwarf pea plant (t) carrying green seeds . Tall is dominant over the dwarf and yellow is dominant over the green. Fertilization of the first generation pea plants produced a total of 16 second filial generation offsprings of the pea plants. How many tall pea plants that will have green seeds can you expect to be produced? What will be the genotype of these plants (Homozygous? Heterozygous? Or Both?).arrow_forwardSeedless watermelons that you find in the supermarketare triploids, where x = 11.a. At what frequency are balanced gametes generatedby triploid watermelons?arrow_forward
- F2 plants segregate colored : colorless. If acolored plant is picked at random and selfed, what is theprobability that both colored and colorless plants will beseen among a large number of its progeny? Please solve with step by step pleasearrow_forwardTwo plants in a cross were each heterozygous for two gene pairs (AB /ab) whose loci are linked and 30 map units (mu) apart. (Recall that 1 mu is equal to 1% recombination between two genes.) Assuming that crossing over occurs during the formation of both male and female gametes and that the A and B alleles are dominant, determine the phenotypic ratio of their offspring. Part E: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab ) will be A - B- if the genes are 30 mu apart? Part F: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab)) will be A - bb if the genes are 30 mu apart? Part G: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab)) will be aaB- If the genes are 30 mu apart? Part H: What proportion of the offspring of two plants (both (AB/ab)) will be aabb if the genes are 30 mu apart?arrow_forward. In nature, the plant Plectritis congesta is dimorphic forfruit shape; that is, individual plants bear either winglessor winged fruits, as shown in the illustration.Wingless fruit Winged fruitPlants were collected from nature before floweringand were crossed or selfed with the following results:Number of progenyPollination Winged WinglessWinged (selfed) 91 1*Winged (selfed) 90 30Wingless (selfed) 4* 80Winged × wingless 161 0Winged × wingless 29 31Winged × wingless 46 0Winged × winged 44 0*Phenotype probably has a nongenetic explanation.Interpret these results, and derive the mode ofinheritance of these fruit-shaped phenotypes.

- In a cross between two varieties of corn, gl1gl1Ws3Ws3 (egg parent) * Gl1Gl1ws3ws3 (pollen parent), a triploid offspring was produced with the genetic constitution Gl1Gl1gl1Ws3ws3ws3. From which parent, egg or pollen, did the 2n gamete originate? Is another explanation possible? Explain.arrow_forwardYou have an autotetraploid plant with genotype AAaa that undergoes self-fertilization. At least two copies of the dominant allele A are needed to obtain the dominant phenotype. At what frequency will progeny with the dominant phenotype appear? Type your answer as a fraction, with no spaces (e.g., 1/16).arrow_forwardIn tomatoes, tall (D) is dominant over dwarf (d) and smooth fruit (P) is dominant over pubescent fruit (p), which is covered with fine hairs. A farmer has two tall and smooth tomato plants, which we will call plant A and plant B. The farmer crosses plants A and B with the same dwarf and pubescent plant and obtains the following numbers of progeny: Q. Explain why different proportions of progeny are produced when plant A and plant B are crossed with the same dwarf pubescent plant.arrow_forward
- A white F2 plant is allowed to self-fertilize. Of the progeny, 3/4 are white-flowered, and 1/4 are purple-flowered. What is the genotype of the white F2 plant?arrow_forwardSeedless watermelons that you find in the supermarketare triploids, where x = 11.a. At what frequency are balanced gametes generatedby triploid watermelons?b. What is the probability that a particular seed in atriploid watermelon will be viable? (Recall that aviable seed is a euploid zygote.)c. What is the ploidy of the viable seed in part (b)?More than one answer may applyarrow_forwardLet P = purple flowers and p = white, and T = tall plants and t = dwarf. What are the genotypes of the gametes that are produced by a plant that is heterozygous for both traits? hint* This is a dihybrid self cross of an F1 heterozygous generation.
