Chapter 28, Problem 16CONQ
Many beautiful varieties of roses have been produced, particularly in the last few decades. These newer varieties often have very striking and showy flowers, making them desirable as horticultural specimens. However, breeders and novices alike have noticed that some of these newer varieties are not very fragrant compared with the older, more traditional varieties. From a genetic point of view, suggest an explanation why some of these newer varieties with superb flowers are not as fragrant.

A plant breeder wants to use selective breeding to produce corn with short stalks and a high mass of grain.He could use the following varieties of cor, A, Long stalks, high mass of grain, B, Short stalks, low mass of grain or c, Long Stalks, low mass of grain. What would the plant breeder need to do to make sure he always produced corn with a short stem and a high mass of grain? Describe three steps the breeder would use.
Two different genes control the expression of kernel
colour in Mexican black corn: black pigment gene B and
dotted pigment gene D. Gene B influences the
expression of gene D. The dotted phenotype appears
only when gene B is in the homozygous recessive state.
A colourless variation occurs when both genes are
homozygous recessive.
What would be the phenotypic ratio of a test cross with a
plant heterozygous for both traits? Your response must
include a Punnett square with appropriate nomenclature.
Show the ratio as whole numbers in their lowest form
and their corresponding phenotypes.
From an agricultural point of view, discuss the advantages and disadvantagesof selective breeding. It is common for plant breeders to take two different, highly inbred strains, which are the product of many generations of selective breeding, and cross them to make hybrids. How does this approach overcome some of the disadvantages of selective breeding?

- The best way to determine the genotype for a plant presenting with dominant phenotypes is by performing a test cross. Test crosses are always performed with a true-breeding plant with recessive traits. What would be the phenotype and genotype of the plant you would need to perform the test-cross with your tall, purple plant?After performing the test-cross with your unknown purple, tall plant you find that all your resulting plants are tall; half have white flowers, and half have purple flowers.

- A farmer obtained pure seed of wheat variety (Galaxy-13) but unfortunately he has mixed it with other varieties in his field while he was planning to use that seed for next year. Being a plant breeder, suggest a method in detail to the farmer, that how he can get the pure seed again from that mixed lotarrow_forwardA plant geneticist is examining the mode of inheritance of flower color in two closely related species of exotic plants. The first species may have two pure-breeding lines—one produces a distinct red flower; and the other produces flowers with no color at all, or very pale yellow flowers. However, she cannot be sure. A cross of these varieties produces all pink-flowered progeny. The second species exhibits similar pure-breeding varieties; that is, one variety produces red flowers; and the other produces an albino or very pale yellow flower. A cross of these two varieties, however, produces orange-flowered progeny exclusively. Analyze the mode of inheritance of flower color in these two plant species.arrow_forwardA certain plant has 3 un-linked gene pairs, which can be represented as AaBbCc.
