F1: all pink, personate
- (b) red, personate × white, peloric

- A particular flower can be purple, blue, red or white. Two purple F1 plants are crossed to produce an F2 generation. Might a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio in the F2 indicate? A) additive allelic interactions B) recessive reciprocal epistasis allelic interactions C) dominant epistasis allelic interactions D) Redundant gene interactions Explain each answerarrow_forwardThe genes for tall vine, D, and yellow seeds, G, are dominant over their respective alleles for dwarf, d, and green, g. What phenotypes and genotypes are expected from each of the following crosses? Include phenotypic and genotypic ratios. 6. a) heterozygous tall, homozygous yellow x homozygous tall, heterozygous yellow b) dwarf, heterozygous yellow x heterozygous tall, green c) homozygous tall, homozygous yellow x heterozygous tall, green d) heterozygous tall, heterozygous yellow x heterozygous tall, heterozygous yellowarrow_forwardA particular flower can be blue, red, or white. A pure-breeding red-flowered plant is crossed with a pure-breeding white-flowered one. The F 1 are then crossed to produce an F 2 generation. Which of the following phenotypic ratios in the F 2 indicate that flower color in these two strains is controlled by two genes? A)2:1 B)3:1 C)1:2:1 D)9:3:4arrow_forward
- A) Describe the data you collect from the Purple 1 x Purple 2 cross. Predict the genotype of each of the parent plants. Explain your predictions using data from the experiment. B) Consider the offspring, the next generation (F1), from the Purple 1 x Purple 2 cross. What is the probability of a green stem plant? How do you know this? C) What is the probability in the F2 generation of a green stem offspring? Use a Punnett square(s) and quantitative data to explain your thinking. Upload your Punnett square(s).arrow_forwardTwo corn plants are studied. One is resistant (R) and the other is susceptible (S) to a certainpathogenic fungus. The following crosses are made, with the results shown: (see attached) a) What can you conclude about the location of the genetic determinants of R and S? b) What other criteria can be used to determine if a certain trait follows the pattern shown in(a)?arrow_forwardThe genes of tall vine, D, and yellow seed, G, are dominant over their respective alleles for dwarf, d, and green, g.

- Two corn plants are studied. One is resistant (R) and the other is susceptible (S) to a certain pathogenic fungus. The following crosses are made, with the results shown: S x R d→ all progeny S R 9 x S d all progeny R a) What can you conclude about the location of the genetic determinants of R and S? b) What other criteria can be used to determine if a certain trait follows the pattern shown in (a)?arrow_forwardTwo pure-breeding lines of petunia plants are crossed. Line 1 plants grow to a height of 54 cm, and Line 2 plants grow to a height of 18 cm. Petunia plant height is controlled by three genes, A, B and C. Line 1 has the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁, and line 2 has the genotype A2A2B₂B₂C₂C₂. Assume that genotype alone determines plant height under ideal growth conditions and that the alleles of the three genes are additive. If the F1 plants are self crossed, what is the expected proportion of F2 plants with the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁ 1/8 1/32 1/16 1/4 1/64arrow_forwardIn summer squash, white fruit color(W) is dominant over yellow fruit color(w). If a squash plant homozgous for white is crossed with a plant homozygous for yellow, what will the genotypic ratio be for F2 generation? A)1:1B)3:1C)1:1:1:1D)1:2:1arrow_forward
- In a trihybrid cross of a tall, purple-flowered pea plant with round seeds (TtPpRr) with a short, white- flowered pea plant with round seeds (ttppRr), what is the probability: A) that a short, white-flowered plant with wrinkled seeds will be produced? B) that a tall, purple-flowered plant with round seeds will be produced? C) that a tall, white-flowered plant with round seeds will be produced?arrow_forwardIn corn, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of corn plants (i.e. the tassel) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male-fertile corn plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male-sterile lines. Using the following color-coded circles, simulate the crosses indicated below. Put the illustrations of crosses in the spaces provided. Be sure to include in the labels the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring in each cross. Big light green circle - male-sterile cytoplasm Big orange circle - male-fertile cytoplasm Small orange circle - FF nucleus Small half-light green-half-orange circle - Ff nucleus Small light-green circle - ff nucleusarrow_forwardIn a certain plant, the seed traits are as follows: Color: white (W) is dominant over yellow (w)Shape: disk (D) is dominant over sphere (d)Seed coat: thick (T) is dominant over thin (t) a) If the parent plant is a triple heterozygote, what is its phenotype? b) Analyzing the phenotypes of the offspring, the alleles of the gametes were determined as: 85 wDt 390 WDT 27 WDt 81 WdT5 wDT 374 wdt 30 wdT 8 Wdt construct a genetic map using the three-point cross.arrow_forward
