| a. purple spiny X purple spiny | 94 | 32 | 28 | 11 |
| b. purple spiny X purple smooth | 40 | 0 | 38 | 0 |
| c. purple spiny X white spiny | 34 | 30 | 0 | 0 |
| d. purple spiny X white spiny | 89 | 92 | 31 | 27 |

a. 1 dominant allele will contribute 120/10 = 12 cm to the base height of the plant.b. The height of the parent plant 1
Genotype of the parent plant 1 – D1D1D2D2D3D3d4d4d5d5
The height of the parent plant 2
Genotype of the parent plant 2 – d1d1d2d2d3d3D4D4D5D5Contributing alleles – D4D4D5D5. The height of the plant without any contributing alleles would be 80 cm. The plant with genotype d1d1d2d2d3d3D4D4D5D5 has 4 contributing allele each of which contributes 12 cm to the base. Hence, the height of the plant with genotype d1d1d2d2d3d3D4D4D5D5 would be 80 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 128 cm.
c. Parents – D1D1D2D2D3D3d4d4d5d5 × d1d1d2d2d3d3D4D4D5D5
Gametes – D1D2D3d4d5 × d1d2d3D4D5
F1 generation – D1d1D2d2D3d3D4d4D5d5
The height of the plants of F1 generation = 80 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 140 cm
Hence,
Genotype of the F1 = D1d1D2d2D3d3D4d4D5d5

Use the figure and the following description to answer the question(s) below.
In a particular plant, leaf color is controlled by gene locus D. Plants with at least one allele D have dark green leaves, and plants with the
homozygous recessive dd genotype have light green leaves. A true- breeding, dark- leaved plant is crossed with a light- leaved one, and the
F1 offspring is allowed to self- pollinate. The predicted outcome of the F2 is diagrammed in the Punnett square shown in the figure, where 1,2,3,
and 4 represent the genotypes corresponding to each box within the square.

G = yellow; g = green; R = round; r = wrinkled G Four different types of gametes are produced by a heterozygous individual when crossing over occurs, and two different types of gametes are produced when crossing over does not occur. What does this information reveal about crossng over? O Crossing over introduces variety by producing different combinations of alleles. O Crossing over reduces the incidence of DNA and chromosomal mutations. O Crossing over introduces variety in by creating types of genes. O Crossing over maintains the count of genes and the original alleles in both chromosomes.
