Chapter 2, Problem 8P
A mutant cucumber plant has flowers that fail to open when mature. Crosses can be done with this plant by manually opening and pollinating the flowers with pollen from another plant. When closed × open crosses were done, all the F1 progeny were open. The F2 plants were 145 open and 59 closed. A cross of closed × F1 gave 81 open and 77 closed. How is the closed trait inherited? What evidence led you to your conclusion?

A horticulturist runs a test cross with an offspring (F1 generation) purple plant from Question 8. The phenotypic frequencies of the resulting offspring are 50% white and 50% purple. What is the true genotype of this offspring (F1 generation) purple plant?
One strain of periwinkleplants has green leaves and another strain has white leaves. Bothstrains are true-breeding. You do not know if the phenotypicdifference is due to alleles of a nuclear gene or an organellar gene.The two strains were analyzed using reciprocal crosses, and thefollowing results were obtained:A plant with green leaves is pollinated by a plant with whiteleaves: all offspring have green leaves.A plant with white leaves is pollinated by a plant with greenleaves: all offspring have white leaves. Is this pattern of inheritance consistent with simple Mendelianinheritance, where green is dominant to white, and/or is it consistentwith maternal inheritance?
A dihybrid cross of two plants is done and the seed pod shape is examined. The seed stock was pure, both always made triangular pods. The pod shape is known to be controlled by two independently assorting genes. You cross the plants and produce an F1 generation, and all the seed pods are triangular. Then you cross the F1 plants to each other in three independent experiments and the F2 data is presented in Table 1. Explain the type of epistasis that is event in this data. Suggest a molecular mechanism that can explain this type of gene interaction.

- You successfully isolate an hsf2/hsf2; hsf3/hsf3 double mutant stock. You cross this plant to an hsf1/hsf1 plant and then self-pollinate the F1. You want to recover at least 10 triple mutant homozygous to evaluate the phenotype. How many plants do you need to genotype to expect to recover 10 triple mutant plants?arrow_forwardYou make a test cross between an F1 plant that is heterozygous for two dominant resistance genes (R1 and R2) and a line that is homozygous recessive at both loci, and inoculate the progeny with a pathogen race that is avirulent on both R1 and R2 (i.e., it carries avirulence genes Avr1 and Avr2).You get 50 susceptible progeny out of 200 test cross progeny. (a) What is the linkage phase for these two genes? (b) What is the recombination distance?arrow_forwardIn tomatoes, the red fruit color is completely dominant to yellow.

- You have two true-breeding strains of coneflower. One strain has purple flowers and purple stems. The other strain has white flowers and green stems. When you cross these strains the F1 generation has purple flowers and purple stems. From this information you know that purple flowers is dominant to white flowers and that purple stems is dominant to green stems. In terms of genetic mechanisms, there could be two explanations: (1) flower color and stem color are each controlled by separate, independently segregating genes, and (2) there is one gene controlling both flower color and stem color. A. If explanation #1 is correct what would you see if the F1 generation were self-crossed to produce an F2 generation. Make up appropriate genetic symbols for this model and work out the cross to the F2 generation. B. If explanation #2 is correct what would you see if the F1 generation were self-crossed to produce an F2 generation.

No one knows how the 2 genes are related and several hypotheses have emerged to explain how they interact to produce flowers with purple, yellow, and green pedals. You cross purple and green flowering plants, and find that F1 are all yellow colored. You allow F1 to self-fertilize and this produces 222 purple, 222 yellow and 222 green flowers. The 2 most popular theories are: a co-dominance relationship or an epistatic relationship between the 2 genes. Your team deduces that if co-dominance should result in 216 purple, 220 yellow and 230 green. Where as, an epistatic relationship should result in 250 purple, 200 yellow, and 216 green 1-Calculate the chi-squared value for the co-dominance hypothesis?

- Tall plant (D) is dominant to dwaf (d), and purple flower color (W) is dominant to white flower color (w). In order to determine the genotype of a tall plant with purple flowers, you decide to conduct a test cross. What should be the genotype of the plant you use to carry out the test cross?arrow_forwardA type of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) produces fruit in three possible colors: red, green, and orange. You cross a true-breeding orange-fruited plant with a true-breeding green-fruited plant, and all the F1 offspring are red. You intercross the red F1s, and the resulting F2 generation consists of 108 red-, 40 orange-, and 44 green-fruited plants. 1) What type of epistasis is acting (dominant, recessive, duplicate dominant, or duplicate recessive)? 2) Assign the phenotypes to a modified 9:3:3:1 ratio.
