Chapter 3, Problem 41P
The garden flower Salpiglossis sinuata (painted tongue) comes in many different colors. Several crosses are made between true-breeding parental strains to produce F1 plants, which are in turn self-fertilized to produce F2 progeny.

b. | Assign genotypes to the parents, F1 progeny, and F2 progeny for all five crosses. |
c. | In a cross between true-breeding yellow and true-breeding lavender plants, all of the F1 progeny are bronze. If you used these F1 plants to produce an F2 generation, what |

A tall pea plant with terminal flowers (flowers on the ends of the stems) is crossed with a short plant thathas axial flowers. All 72 offspring are tall with axial flowers. This is a dihybrid cross with the height andflower position traits showing independent assortment.

b. Give the genotypes of the parents and offspring in this cross.
c. Predict the F2 offspring when the tall-axial F1's are allowed to self pollinate.
In an autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis), the gene controlling stigma color is very near the centromere of the chromosome carrying it. The allele G for green stigma is dominant to g for red stigmas. A homozygous green autotetraploid strain is crossed with a homozygous red autotetraploid strain.

b. Show the types of gametes the F1’s may be expected to form and derive the expected proportion of each.
