Summary Introduction

To label: The given diagram that shows a cross between round-seeded and wrinkled-seeded pea plants.

Introduction: Gregor Johann Mendel who is known as the “Father of modern genetics” was the first person to conduct experiments on seven characters of pea plant. Based on these experiments, he framed three laws of inheritance, namely “Law of dominance, “Law of segregation”, and “Law of independent assortment.”

Answer to Problem 1IQ

Pictorial representation: Fig.1 represents a cross between round-seeded and wrinkled-seeded pea plants.

Fig.1: A cross between round seeded and wrinkled-seeded pea plants

Explanation of Solution

The description of cross between the round-seeded and wrinkled-seeded pea plants from parental generation till F2 generation is given below:

  • The parental generation includes the phenotypes that are round seeds and wrinkled seeds and their genetic makeup includes RR and rr, respectively.
  • The gametes of the round and wrinkled seeds are R and r, respectively.
  • These gametes fertilize to produce only round seeds in the F1 generation. This is because their genetic makeup is Rr and the allele for round seeds R is dominant over the wrinkled seeds r.
  • The F1 round-seeded plants whose genotype is Rr segregate into R and r at the time of gamete formation and fuse together to give rise to F2 generation.
  • The F2 generation gives rise to plants with different genotypes that are RR, Rr, and rr giving rise to both round and wrinkled seeds.
  • The plants with round and wrinkled seeds are produced in the ratio 3 rounded:1 wrinkled seed plants, whereas their genetic makeup are found in the ratio 1RR: 2Rr: 1rr.
Conclusion

The ratios of a cross between round versus wrinkled seeds are as follows:

Phenotypic ratio of round versus wrinkled seeds is 3:1

Genotypic ratio of  RR: Rr: rr is 1:2:1.

In corn plants, two pairs of genes control color in the ears of corn.  The following genotypes result in various colors: W-C-  [red];   wwC-  [yellow]; W-cc [white];  wwcc [white]. What is the phenotypic ratio of the dihybrid cross between corn plants heterozygous for both genes? (Dashes mean the allele could be W or w, i.e., WWCC/WwCC/WWCc/WwCc geneotype gives red color)
You have a purple-flowered pea plant, but you do not know if it is homozygous (PP) or heterozygous (Pp) for flower color because both genotypes result in the same purple phenotype. Purple color allel (P) is dominant over white flower allel (p). What would you do to determine the genotype of flower color of this plant? Lötfen birini seçin: O a. Crossing the plant with homozygous large flowered pea plant (LL) Ob. Crossing the plant with heterozygous purple flowered pea plant (Pp) Crossing the plant with homozygous dominant purple flowered pea plant (PP) d. Crossing the plant with a plant whose genotype is unknown e. Crossing the plant with homozygous recessive white flowered pea plant (pp)
Just like in fruit flies, pea plants are a famous model organism for genetics. Pea plants can have purple flowers or white flowers. Let's use P to represent the allele for Purple and p to represent the allele for white. In pea plants, purple flowers are fully dominant to white. Imagine a cross between a heterozygous male plant and a female that is homozygous recessive for flower color. What are all the possible gametes that the FEMALE plant could make? O Pp O p dd
