Textbook Question
Chapter 29, Problem 5EQ
F 1 hybrids between two species of cotton, Gossypium barbadense and Gossypium hirsutum, are very vigorous plants. However, F1 crosses produce many seeds that do not germinate and a high percentage of very weak F2 offspring. Suggest two reasons for these observations.

Name the ascus type of each class from 1 to 4 as P, NP or T.
(ii)
Are genes x and y linked? Explain your answer.
(iii)
If they are linked, determine the map distance between the two genes. If they are
unlinked, provide all the information you can about why you draw this conclusion.
2) In 1999 suppose that in a field of snapdragons (a type of flower), there are 8000 red snapdragons (RR), 4000 pink snapdragons (RW), and 2000 white snapdragons (WW). In 2016 there are 10000 red snapdragons (RR), 2000 pink snapdragons (RW) and 1000 white snapdragons (WW) a) Calculate the genotypic frequencies of the population in 1999 and in 2016. b) Calculate the allele frequencies of the parent population 1999 and 2016. c) Is micro-evolution occurring? Explain and provide a possible explanation for why this bee pollinated plant might be experiencing micro-evolution.

Two 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.
a) How many i) genes and ii) how many alleles are involved in determining height in this plant?
b) What is the contribution of each dominant allele to the phenotype in cm?
