In roses, red petals (r) and waxy texture (wx) are encoded by two mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild-type traits; yellow petals (r+) and soft texture (wx+). A rose homozygous for red petals and waxy texture is crossed to a rose homozygous for the wild-type traits. The F1 have yellow petals and soft texture. The F1 are crossed with roses that have red petals and waxy texture in a testcross. The progeny of this testcross are (1000 total):

- The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?Sunflowers with flowers 10 cm in diameter are crossed with a plant that has 20-cm flowers. The F1 plants have flowers 15 cm in diameter. In the F2 generation, 4 flowers are 10 cm in diameter and 4 are 20 cm in diameter. Between these are 5 phenotypic classes with diameters intermediate to those at the extremes. a. Assuming that the alleles that contribute to flower diameter act additively, how many genes control flower size in this strain of sunflowers? b. How much does each additive allele contribute to flower diameter? c. What size flower makes up the largest phenotypic class?Two pure-breeding lines of petunia plants are crossed. Line 1 plants grow to a height of 54 cm, and Line 2 plants grow to a height of 18 cm. Petunia plant height is controlled by three genes, A, B and C. Line 1 has the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁, and line 2 has the genotype A2A2B₂B₂C₂C₂. Assume that genotype alone determines plant height under ideal growth conditions and that the alleles of the three genes are additive. If the F1 plants are self crossed, what is the expected proportion of F2 plants with the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁ 1/8 1/32 1/16 1/4 1/64
- Gregor Mendel examined the inheritance of two traits in pea plants: seed coat texture and colour. Seed coat texture can be represented as S-smooth and s-wrinkled, and seed coat colour can be represented as Y-yellow and y-green. SSYY plants were crossed with ssyy plants to yield F1 pea seeds that were all smooth and all yellow. By crossing plants grown from these F1 seeds, Mendel obtained four different phenotypes of F2 seeds: • smooth and green seeds wrinkled and green seeds smooth and yellow seeds wrinkled and yellow seeds ● Use the following information to answer the next question. ● The F2 phenotypic ratio that Mendel obtained upon crossing two heterozygous smooth and yellow F1 individuals would have been: smooth and green wrinkled and green : smooth and yellow: wrinkled and yellow Record only the numeric values associated with the phenotypes. (Do not include the colons, spaces, commas, etc.)In silkmoths (Bombyx mori), red eyes (re) and white-banded wings (wb) are encoded by two mutant alleles that are recessive to those that produce wild-type traits (re+ and wb+); these two genes are on the same chromosome. A moth homozygous for red eyes and white-banded wings is crossed with a moth homozygous for the wild-type traits. The F1 have wild-type eyes and wild-type wings. The F1 are crossed with moths that have red eyes and white-banded wings in a testcross. The progeny of this testcross are wild-type eyes, wild-type wings red eyes, wild-type wings wild-type eyes, white-banded wings red eyes, white-banded wings a. What phenotypic proportions would be expected if the genes for red eyes and for white-banded wings were located on different chromosomes? b. What is the rate of recombination between the gene for red eyes and the gene for white-banded wings?In roses, purple flower color is determined by the dominant P allele, while pphomozygotes are white. The presence of long stems is determined by the dominant S allele, while ss homozygotes have short stems. Both mutations are completely penetrant. A test cross was performed between a rose plant of unknown genotype with a white flowered, short stemmed rose plant (pp ss) and the following 200 progeny plants were obtained: 84 white flowers, long stems 16 purple flowers, long stems 82 purple flowers, short stems 18 white flowers, short stems Select two statements below that are TRUE. options: The P and S genes independently assort during meiosis. The map distance between P and S is 17 cM. The genotype of the progeny plants with purple flowers and short stems is PP ss. The map distance between P and S is 83 cM. The homologs in the plant with…
- J.W. McKay crossed a stock (true-breeding) melon plant that produced tan seeds with a plant that only produced red seeds and obtained the following results (J.W. McKay. 1936. Journal of Heredity 27:110-112). Cross F1 F2 Tan x red 13 tan 93 tan, 24 red a) Explain the inheritance of tan seeds and red seeds in this plant. b) Assign symbols for the alleles in this cross and draw out the Punnett Squares for the initial cross and the F1 cross.In cucumbers, speckled fruit color (u') is dominant to uniform fruit color (u), and large spines (ss") are dominant to small spines (ss). These two genes are linked at a map distance of 20.4 m.u. A true-breeding cucumber plant with speckled fruit and large spines is crossed with a true-breeding plant with uniform fruit color and small spines. One of the F1 plants is crossed with a plant with uniform fruit color and small spines. What percentage of the offspring of this cross are expected to have uniform fruit color and small spines? 39.8% 10.2% 79.6% 20.4%In roses, purple flower color is determined by the dominant P allele, while pp homozygotes are white. The presence of long stems is determined by the dominant S allele, while ss homozygotes have short stems. Both mutations are completely penetrant. A test cross was performed between a rose plant of unknown genotype with a white flowered, short stemmed rose plant (pp ss) and the following 200 progeny plants were obtained: 84 white flowers, long stems 16 purple flowers, long stems 82 purple flowers, short stems 18 white flowers, short stems Select the statements below that are TRUE. Select 2 correct answer(s) The P and S genes independently assort during meiosis. The map distance between P and S is 17 CM.

- In a variety of newly discovered rose plant, flowers are either white or red. Two genes were discovered to control flower color. Both genes, A and B, work in tandem in a biochemical pathway, and dominant forms of both genes are required for red flowers. A doubly-homozygous red-flowered plant is crossed with a doubly-homozygous white-flowered plant. The F1 offspring all have red flowers and are self-crossed to produce the F2. Determine the ratios of phenotypes in the F2 generation.Another cross in Drosophila involved the recessive, X-linked genes yellow (y), white (w) and cut (ct). A yellow-bodied, white-eyed female with normal wings was crossed to a male whose eyes and body were normal but whose wings were cut. The F1 females were wild type for all three traits, while the F1 males expressed the yellow-body and white eyes traits. The cross was carried to an F2 progeny and only male offspring were tallied. Based on the data shown here, a genetic map was constructed. a) Diagram the genotypes of the F1 parents. b) Construct a map, assuming the white is at locus 1.5 on the X-chromosome.
