In tomatoes, a heterozygous plant with normal fruit and purple stems is crossed with a recessive plant having fasciated fruit and green stems (test cross). The following distribution of offspring is observed: normal fruit, purple stems 38.5% fasciated fruit, green stems 38.5% normal fruit, green stems 11.5% fasciated fruit, purple stems 11.5% What is the recombination frequency?

In corn, a colored aleurone is due to the presence of an R allele; r/r is colorless. Another gene controls the color of the plant, with g/g being yellow and G_being green. A plant of unknown genotype is test-crossed, and the following progeny plants were obtained. Colored green 89 Colored yellow 13 Colorless green 9 Colorless yellow 92 What is the recombination frequency between the R locus and the G locus? A. 45.6% B. 9.85% C. 91.15% D. 4.93% E. 6.4%
A purple flowering, smooth seed dihybrid plant (genotype PpSs) is test crossed with a white flowering, wrinkled seed plant (genotype ppss). These produce progeny in the following numbers of four phenotypes: 24:76:74:26 (purple flower + smooth seed coat: purple flower + wrinkled seed coat: white flower + smooth seed coat: white flower + wrinkled seed coat). a) What is the genotype of the original dihybrid plant? Specify which alleles are on each chromosome of the purple flowering, smooth seed plant (i.e. AB/ab or Ab/aB). b) How many map units separate the colour and seed coat genes? Show your calculations.
Individuals of genotype AaBb were mated to individuals of genotype aabb. One thousand offspring were counted, with the following results: 474 Aabb, 480 aaBb, 20 AaBb, and 26 aabb. What type of cross is it? Are these locilinked? What are the two parental classes and the two recombinant classes of offspring? What is the percentage of recombination between these two loci? How many map units apart are they?
If 2 spot (S) is dominant to 4 spot (s), give the genotypes for the parents in the following crosses: 2 spot × 2 spot yields 2 spot and 4 spot 2 spot × 4 spot yields only 2 spot 2 spot × 4 spot yields 2 spot and 4 spot 2 spot × 2 spot yields only 2 spot 4 spot × 4 spot yields only 4 spot
Assume that the trihybrid cross AABBrr x aabbRR is made in a plant species. Assume that A and B are dominant alleles, but there is no dominance effect of alleles at the R locus. a) How many different gametes are possible in the F1generation? What are the genotypes of these gametes? b) What is the probability of the parental aabbRR genotype in the F2 progeny? c) What proportion of the F2 progeny would be expected to be homozygous for all three genes?
A homozygous variety of opium poppy (Papaver somniferum Laciniatum) with lacerate leaves was crossed with another homozygous variety with normal leaves. All the F₁ had lacerate leaves (jagged-edged leaves). Two F₁ plants were crossed to produce the F2. Of the F2, 249 had lacerate leaves and 16 had normal leaves. How are lacerate leaves determined in the opium poppy? two genes, with a dominant allele at both loci two genes, where one allele at a single locus is recessive lethal one gene, with codominant alleles at a single locus two genes, with a dominant allele at either or both loci Give genotypes for all the plants in the P, F₁, and F2 generations. Some generations will have more than one genotype. P F₁ F₂ (lacerate) F₂ (normal) aabb A_B_ Answer Bank aaB AaBb A_bb AABB
In a particular organism, the A locus and the D locus are so tightly linked that no crossing over is ever observed between them. If an AADD individual is crossed to an aadd individual, what types of gametes will their double-heterozygote F1 offspring produce and in what proportions? Group of answer choices 25% parental and 75% recombinant gametes 75% parental and 25% recombinant gametes 100% parental and 0% recombinant gametes 50% parental and 50% recombinant gametes 0% parental and 100% recombinant gametes
In the snail Limnaea peregra, coiling of the shell is determined by the genes D for right-hand coiled shells, and d for left-hand coiled shells. The gene for the right-hand coiled shell is dominant. The direction of coiling is determined by the genotype of the maternal parent producing the egg, regardless of the progeny's genotype. Which of the following crosses could give a left-hand coiled shell heterozygote? A. right-hand coiled dd female X left-hand coiled DD male B. left-hand coiled DD female X right-hand coiled dd male C. left-hand coiled DD female X left-hand coiled DD male D. right-hand coiled dd female X left-hand coiled dd male
Given the following information, determine the inheritance of flower color in this plant and determine the genotypes of the parental individuals, which are from pure- breeding lines.

Two genes on chromosome 7 of corn are glossy (g) for leaf texture and ramosa (r), which determines how the ears branch. A test cross between a heterozygous plant for both loci and a doubly recessive plant produces the following progeny and genotypes Phenotype Number of corn kernels counted GR / gr 46 G r / gr 125 g r / gr 45 g R / gr 121 What is the recombination frequency (in %) for the two loci? ___
in a cross AaBb X aabb, the following progeny were obtained: AaBb=50 aabb=46 Aabb=7 aaBb=6 What is the recombination frequency between the genes A and B? How far apart are they if they were on the same chromosome
In a series of crosses involving pea plants that have round or wrinkled seeds (round is dominant to wrinkled) and yellow or green seeds (yellow is dominant to green), the following ratios were observed in the progeny: Parents -----> Progeny a) round, green x wrinkled, yellow -> 100% round, yellow b) round, yellow x round, yellow ---> 9/16 round, yellow 3/16 round, green 3/16 wrinkled, yellow 1/16 wrinkled, green c) round, yellow x round, yellow ----> 3/4 round, yellow 1/4 wrinkled, yellow d) wrinkled, yellow x round, yellow -----> 6/16 wrinkled, yellow 2/16 wrinkled, green 6/16 round, yellow 2/16 round, green On the basis of these progeny ratios, determine a possible genotype for each of the parent plants in each set of crosses (a,b, c, and d). Sometimes more than one genotype is possible, but you need only suggest one.
