Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 16PDQ
Mendelian ratios are modified in crosses involving autotet-raploids. Assume that one plant expresses the dominant traitgreen seeds and is homozygous (WWWW). This plant is crossed to one with white seeds that is also homozygous (wwww). If only one dominant allele is sufficient to produce green seeds, predict the F1 and F2 results of such a cross. Assume that synapsis between chromosome pairs is random during meiosis.

Mendelian ratios are modified in crosses involving autotetraploids.Assume that one plant expresses the dominant trait greenseeds and is homozygous (WWWW). This plant is crossed to onewith white seeds that is also homozygous (wwww). If only onedominant allele is sufficient to produce green seeds, predict theF1 and F2 results of such a cross. Assume that synapsis betweenchromosome pairs is random during meiosis.
In autotetraploid Chinese primrose (Primula sinensis L.), 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.
Each of the F1 GGgg plants would obtain 12 gametes which are 2GG, 8Gg, and 2g. How were these obtained?
In the following cross, imagine that you have a female fly that has two Xs and one Y
due to a nondisjunction event in her mother's germ cells. Draw out what the
possible gametes are for both the female and the male and also a Punnett square
showing the genotypes, phenotypes, and sex of the possible flies as a result of this
cross. You do not need to provide the probabilities of each of these.

How many squares would you need to complete a Punnett square analysis of this cross?arrow_forwardThe crossing of two orange-flowering plants results in ~2/3 orange-flower progeny and ~1/3 white-flower progeny. The crossing of two orange-flowering F1 plants generates the same progeny ratios as observed for the parental cross, while the crossing of white-flowering F1 plants only produces white-flowering progeny. What is a likely explanation for these results?arrow_forwardTwo plants in a cross were each heterozygous for two gene pairs (AB/ab) whose loci are linked and 10 map units (mu) apart. (Recall that 1 mu is equal to 1% recombination between two genes.)
