A pea plant from a pure-breeding strain that is tall, has green pods, and has purple flowers that are terminal is crossed to a plant from a pure-breeding strain that is dwarf, has yellow pods, and has white flowers that are axial. The F1 plants are all tall and have purple axial flowers as well as green pods. What phenotypes do you expect to see in the F2? What phenotypes and ratios would you predict in the progeny from crossing an F1 plant to the dwarf parent?

Figure 8.10 In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white (p), and yellow peas (Y) are dominant to green (y). What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes for a cross between PpYY and ppYy pea plants? How many squares would you need to complete a Punnett square analysis of this cross?
The 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?
In corn, seedling color is determined by genes at two loci (C/c and D/d). Suppose that you cross a pure-breeding green seedling with a pure-breeding yellow seedling and obtain only green seedlings in the F1 generation. You then cross two of the F1 seedlings and obtain the following progeny for the F2 generation: 138 green seedlings, 33 virescent-white seedlings, and 10 yellow seedlings. What form of epistasis would explain these data?
In the garden pea, orange pods (o) are recessive to green pods (+), and sensitivityto pea mosaic virus (v) is recessive to resistance to the virus (+). A plant withorange pods and sensitivity to the virus was crossed to a true-breeding plant withgreen pods and resistance to the virus. The F1 progeny were then test-crossed toplants with orange pods and sensitivity to the virus with the following results:160 orange pods, virus sensitive 36 orange pods, virus resistant165 green pods, virus resistant 39 green pods, virus sensitive 1. What are the gamete frequencies of the recombinants and non-recombinants? 2. What are the expected frequencies of the recombinant and non-recombinantgenotypes?
You have two true-breeding strains of coneflower. One strain has purple flowers and purple stems. The other strain has white flowers and green stems. When you cross these strains the F1 generation has purple flowers and purple stems. From this information you know that purple flowers is dominant to white flowers and that purple stems is dominant to green stems. In terms of genetic mechanisms, there could be two explanations: (1) flower color and stem color are each controlled by separate, independently segregating genes, and (2) there is one gene controlling both flower color and stem color. A. If explanation #1 is correct what would you see if the F1 generation were self-crossed to produce an F2 generation. Make up appropriate genetic symbols for this model and work out the cross to the F2 generation. B. If explanation #2 is correct what would you see if the F1 generation were self-crossed to produce an F2 generation. Make up appropriate genetic symbols for this model and work out the…
Sunflowers with flowers 10 cm in diameter are crossed with a plant that has 16 cm flowers. The F1 plants have flowers 13 cm in diameter. In the F2 generation, 4 flowers are 10 cm in diameter and 4 are 16 cm in diameter. Between these are 5 phenotypic classes with diameters intermediate to those at the extremes.How much does each additive allele contribute to flower diameter?(show work) What size flower makes up the largest phenotypic class?(show work)
In garden pea, resistance to a certain disease is controlled by a single locus with dominance forresistance (R) and recessive susceptible (r). Another locus governs seed color with yellow being dominant (Y)to green (y). A pea plant which is heterozygous for both gene pairs is crossed with a susceptible and green-seeded plant. The following data was observed in the progeny. Phenotype NumberResistant yellow 43Susceptible green 49Resistant green 16Susceptible yellow 12Total 120 a. What is the calculated chi-square value based on an independent assortment assumption? Compute forthe df and write the conclusion. (NOTE: The cross will not yield a 9:3:3:1 ratio since not both of theparental genotypes are heterozygous for the 2 pairs of alleles. Thus, perform the cross first, show theparental genotypes, the gamete…
In corn, purple kernels (P) are dominant over yellow kernels (p) and starchy kernels (Su) are dominant over sugary kernels (su). A corn plant grown from a purple and starchy kernel is crossed with a plant grown from a yellow and sugary kernel, and the following progeny (kernels) are produced: Phenotype Number purple, starchy 150 purple, sugary 142 yellow, starchy 161 yellow, sugary 115 Formulate a hypothesis about the genotypes of the parents and offspring in this cross. Perform a chi-square goodness-of-fit test comparing the observed progeny with the numbers expected based on your genetic hypothesis. What conclusion can you draw based on the results of your chi-square test? Can you suggest an explanation for the observed results?
In soybeans, rough seeds (g) are recessive to wild-type glossy seeds (G), and blue flowers (p) are recessive to wild-type purple flowers (P). Two true-breeding plants with contrasting phenotypes for seeds and flower color were crossed (you will determine the parental phenotypes and genotypes as part of this question). The F1progeny are all wild-type. An F1 plant is then testcrossed and the following are obtained: Rough seeds, purple flowers 245 Glossy seeds, blue flowers 223 Rough seeds, blue flowers 18 Glossy seeds, purple flowers 25
In a unique species of plants, flowers may be yellow, blue, red, or mauve. All colors may be true breeding. If plants with blue flowers are crossed to red-flowered plants, all F1 plants have yellow flowers. When these produced an F2 generation, the following ratio was observed: 9/16 yellow: 3/16 blue: 3/16 red: 1/16 mauve In still another cross using true-breeding parents, yellow-flowered plants are crossed with mauve-flowered plants. Again, all F1 plants had yellow flowers and the F2 showed a 9:3:3:1 ratio, as just shown. (a) Describe the inheritance of flower color by defining gene symbols and designating which genotypes give rise to each of the four phenotypes. (b) Determine the F1 and F2 results of a cross between truebreeding red and true-breeding mauve-flowered plants.
Assume that smooth seed coats are dominant over rough seed coat. If two pea plants that are both Heterozygous for seed coats are crossed, what do you expect in the offspring (the f1 generation)? Specifically, what genotypes, what phenotypes, and in what ratios? (Use S for the smooth seed coat and s for the rough seed coat.) (Again, it is helpful to write out all the possible genotypes and give the phenotype for each genotype before answering the specific question.) Be careful in writing capital S and lower case.
In corn, purple kernels (P) are dominant over yellow kernels (p) and starchy kernels (Su) are dominant over sugary kernels (su). A corn plant grown from a purple and starchy kernel is crossed with a plant grown from a yellow and sugary kernel, and the following progeny (kernels) are produced: Phenotype Num purple, starchy 15 purple, sugary 14 yellow, starchy 16 yellow, sugary 11 Formulate a hypothesis about the genotypes of the parents and offspring in this cross. Perform a chi-square goodness-of-fit test comparing the observed progeny with the numbers expected based on your genetic hypothesis. What conclusion can you draw based on the results of your chi-square test? Can you suggest an explanation for the observed results?
