- How does one set up a punnet square for the following problem? I know the answer is supposed to be 3*1/2*1/4*1/4 = 3/32 but I'm not sure how we get these numbers. Please help!Question: In the self of a polygenic trihybrid R1/r1; R2/r2; R3/r3, use the product and sum rules to calculate the proportion of progeny with just one polygene “dose.”arrow_forwardpt pt PT PPTt purple tall PpTt purple tall Pt Pptt purple white Pptt purple white Using any two plants resulting from your test cross (even two of the same genotypes if you would prefer), perform a second cross. Provide a Punnett square demonstrating this dihybrid cross.What are the ratios for each genotype in the resulting offspring? What are the ratios for each phenotype? Your answer should clearly indicate the genotype and phenotype each portion of the ratio is referring toarrow_forwardE. W. Lindstrom crossed two corn plants with green seedlings and obtained the following progeny: 3583 green seedlings, 853 virescentwhite seedlings, and 260 yellow seedlings . Q. Give the genotypes for the green, virescent-white, and yellow progeny.arrow_forward
- Two pure-breeding lines of petunia plants are crossed. Line 1 plants grow to a height of 54 cm, and Line 2 plants grow to a height of 18 cm. Petunia plant height is controlled by three genes, A, B and C. Line 1 has the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁, and line 2 has the genotype A2A2B₂B₂C₂C₂. Assume that genotype alone determines plant height under ideal growth conditions and that the alleles of the three genes are additive. If the F1 plants are self crossed, what is the expected proportion of F2 plants with the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁ 1/8 1/32 1/16 1/4 1/64arrow_forwardFlower color in petunias is determined by the biochemical pathway shown below: A_ B_ C_ Yellow Orange > Green Blue aa bb Plants of genotype AAbbcc were mated to plants of genotype AaBbCc. Determine the phenotypic ratio expected from this cross and fill in the spaces in the ratio below with whole numbers in lowest form. lf none are expected in a class, then type the number 0 in the space. Yellow: Orange : Green: Bluearrow_forwardFrom a cross (Xyz) / (xYZ) x (xyz) / (xyz), where X,x, Y,y and Z,z represent alleles of three linked genes whose relative order is unknown, the least frequent classes of progeny are genotype (xyz) / (xyz) and (XYZ) / (xyz). What is the correct relative order of genes X, Y and Z? Answer using lowercase letters separated by a dash (-). Example: x-y-zarrow_forward
- Let S and s be the alleles for seed shape (spherical and wrinkled, respectively) in garden peas. Similarly, let Y and y be alleles for cotyledon color (yellow and green), P and p be alleles for flower color (purple and white) and T and t be alleles for plant height (tall and short). Consider the following cross: SsYyPpTt x SsYYPPTT. What is the probability of obtaining an offspring of genotype SSYYPpTt from this cross?arrow_forwardA) Describe the data you collect from the Purple 1 x Purple 2 cross. Predict the genotype of each of the parent plants. Explain your predictions using data from the experiment. B) Consider the offspring, the next generation (F1), from the Purple 1 x Purple 2 cross. What is the probability of a green stem plant? How do you know this? C) What is the probability in the F2 generation of a green stem offspring? Use a Punnett square(s) and quantitative data to explain your thinking. Upload your Punnett square(s).arrow_forwardTwo 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. The F1 from (b) is then crossed to give an F2. What proportion would you expect in the F2 of each extreme phenotype?arrow_forward
- On the basis of Mendel’s observations (i.e. Mendelian patterns), predict the results from the following crosses with peas. Show the results in terms of genotypes, phenotypes, and their proportions in the offspring. The progeny of a tall (dominant and homozygous) variety crossed with a dwarf variety. The progeny of (a) self-fertilized. The progeny from (a) crossed with the original tall parent. The progeny of (a) crossed with the original dwarf parent.arrow_forwardThe phenotypic data below are the shoot lengths of 25 F1 and 25 F2 rice plants atseedling stage, produced from the cross of IR29 and Hasawi rice varieties. The mean lengths of the shoot from IR29 and Hasawi are 23.1 cm and 46.7 cm, respectively. Tabulate and plot the frequency distributions of the F1 and F2 generations. From each distribution calculate the mean, the variance,and the standard error of the mean. What is the main difference between F1 and F2 distributions? Formulas needed:Range (R) = maximum – minimum (Use the same no. of decimal places as original data.)No. of phenotypic classes (K) = 1 + 3.3logn (Round up answer to an integer. Number may still be increased or decreased as needed.)n = total no. of valuesClass interval (CI) = R/K (Use the same no. of decimal places as original data.)arrow_forwardWhat is the predicted phenotypic ratio for the offspring of the following cross? Allele phenotypes: R = red, r = white, T = thin leaf, t = broad leaf Cross: RR; Tt x Rr; tt Red with thin leaves ___________ Red with broad leaves ___________ White with thin leaves ___________ White with broad leaves __________ PLEASE show work and give an explanation...
