- 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?arrow_forwardPea PlantsIn pea plants, a round-seed shape (R) is dominant over a wrinkled-seed shape (r). A round-seeded pea plant was crossed with another round-seeded pea plant. What are the genotype(s) and phenotype(s) ratios of the F1 generation? Show all possibilities using Punnett squares. State the F1 generation genotypes and phenotypes.arrow_forwardMonohybrid Cross: 1) In dogs, wire hair (S) is dominant to smooth (s). a. In a cross between a homozygous wire-haired dog with a smooth haired dog what are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 generation? b. If a brother and sister from the F1 generation are crossed what is the expected ratio of wire-haired to smooth-haired dogs produced from this cross?arrow_forward
- Variations in Gene Expression In a cross involving polygenic inheritance, three (3) gene pairs control plant height. The shortest and tallest plants are 12 cm and 24 cm, respectively. What height should all F1s display if the shortest and tallest plants were crossed, assuming environmental factors are the same. COMPLETE SOLUTION.arrow_forwardtype P = n! (p)* (q)"* х! (n - х)! Practice Problem: You cross a true-breeding pea plant with red flowers to a true-breeding pea plant with white flowers. All of your offspring have red flowers. Which gene is dominant? Why? What is the genotype of your offspring? You then cross the offspring to each other. What ratio do you expect? Why? You count 1000 plants and look at their flowers. Your results are as follows: 740 red 260 white Does this follow a simple Mendelian inheritance pattern? Why or why not? DADT 2 MEA SUDI ND D LUT IONSarrow_forward.

- In a cross involving polygenic inheritance, three (3) gene pairs control plant height. The shortest andtallest plants are 12 cm and 24 cm, respectively. What height should all F1s display if the shortest andtallest plants were crossed, assuming environmental factors are the same?arrow_forwardA plant geneticist is examining the mode of inheritance of flower color in two closely related species of exotic plants. The first species may have two pure-breeding lines—one produces a distinct red flower; and the other produces flowers with no color at all, or very pale yellow flowers. However, she cannot be sure. A cross of these varieties produces all pink-flowered progeny. The second species exhibits similar pure-breeding varieties; that is, one variety produces red flowers; and the other produces an albino or very pale yellow flower. A cross of these two varieties, however, produces orange-flowered progeny exclusively. Analyze the mode of inheritance of flower color in these two plant species.arrow_forwardAssume 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.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardFaragraph Styles In peas, long stem "A" is dominant over short stem, "a". Give the expected genotypes, phenotypes and the probabilities for the following crosses: 6. a) homozygous long x short Genotypes Phenotypes b) heterozygous long x short Genotypes Phenotypes c) beterozygous long x homozygous long Genotypes Phenotypesarrow_forwardA mapping experiment in strawberries shows that the genes for color and plant height are separated by 16cM. In a cross between a heterozygous plant (CcHh) and a homozygous recessive plant, what percent of offspring would inherit a chromosome carrying cH from the heterozygous parent.... 1. if the heterozygous parent’s alleles are in repulsion? _________________ 2. if the heterozygous parent’s alleles are in coupling? _________________arrow_forward
