Chapter 2, Problem 49P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The interpretation made by the given results and also estimate their mode of inheritance.
Introduction: The fruit-shaped plant Plectritis congesta is of two types. One individual can bear the wingless fruits, whereas another can bear the winged fruits. The three plants which were collected at random (before flowering) from nature were crossed to find out the dominant as well as a recessive character among fruits.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The nongenetic explanations for the specified
Introduction: Nongenetic characters or inheritance are called the characters, which are not exhibiting the same trait or not relayed to their genetics (or 'missing heritability). The other factors influence such types of behaviors.

In the Roselle plant, the dominant allele of gene 'A' codes for a pink flower and the recessive form codes for yellow flowers, while the dominant form of gene 'B' codes
for serrated leaves, while the recessive form codes for smooth leaves. If the genes are trans linked, what are the expected genotypes and phenotypes and the
respective ratios when plants heterozygous for both genes are test crossed?
E. 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. Is there epistasis among the genes that determine color in the corn seedlings? If so, which gene is epistatic and which is hypostatic?
The allele G for yellow stigma is completely dominant to green (g). Supposing
two strains of autotetraploid plants are available and their genotypes are as follows:
GGgg – in this plant the gene is close to the centromere
Gggg – in this plant the gene is far from the centromere
If these two plants are crossed:
a) provide the gametes that can be obtained from the two plants;
b) provide the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring.
