A tall plant is crossed with a short plant, and the F1 progeny are all intermediate in size between the two parental plants. If the intermediate F1 progeny were allowed to self-pollinate, and the F2 progeny were mostly intermediate in size, but following a normal distribution (bell shaped curve) with some tall and some short, this would suggest: A. Incomplete dominance. B. Polygenic (multifactorial) inheritance. C. Complete dominance. D. Codominance.

If you cross the F1 to the tall parent, what phenotype will result of the cross? What will be the ratio of the genotype? d. If you cross the F1 to the short parent, what phenotype will result of the cross? What will be the ratio of the genotype?
In tomatoes, the red fruit color is completely dominant to yellow. Suppose a tomato plant homozygous for red is crossed with one homozygous for yellow and the progeny are allowed to self pollinate. What phenotypes do you predict in the F2 generation? a) 3 red: 1 yellow b) 9 red : 3 orange : 1 yellow c) 1 red : 2 orange : 1 yellow d) 1 red : 1 yellow
Consider a plant that has the "Leaf" gene (L) that causes leaves to be either smooth or wrinkled and is inherited through complete dominance. Heterozygotes of the L gene are smooth. A. What are the two alleles of the gene? B. What is the recessive phenotype? C. What is the genotype of a homozygous dominant individual? D. What gametes can a heterozygous individual make? E.

You experiment with the genetics of height in a plant. You cross a homozygous tall (TT) plant with a homozygous short (tt) plant. Describe what the genotype and phenotype of the F1 progeny would look like if the plants exhibited complete dominance. Now describe the expected results if the trait exhibited incomplete dominance. What about the F2 progeny, assuming you crossed the F1 progeny with each other?
A. In corn, yellow kernels (Y) are dominant to white kernels (y). If you cross two plants with the Yy genotype, what percentage of the offspring will have yellow kernels? B.What percentage of the offspring will have the same genotype as the parent plants? C.Say you're also interested in corn plant height where tall plants (T) are dominant to short plants (t). You want to save some time and just cross your plants once. The P1 genotypes are YyTT and YYTt. Will you get any short plants with yellow kernels from this cross? Why or why not? D. If these traits, kernel color and height were linked, how would this affect your experimental outcomes? Would you expect the laws of Mendelian genetics to still apply? Why or why not ?
A tall pea plant with terminal flowers (flowers on the ends of the stems) is crossed with a short plant thathas axial flowers. All 72 offspring are tall with axial flowers. This is a dihybrid cross with the height andflower position traits showing independent assortment. a. Name the dominant and recessive alleles. b. Give the genotypes of the parents and offspring in this cross. c. Predict the F2 offspring when the tall-axial F1's are allowed to self pollinate.
True breeding eggplant plants producing deep, purple colored fruit are crossed with true breeding plants producing white fruit. The offspring of this cross all produce lighter, violet fruit. The colors of the fruit are produced by the interactions of the two different alleles. A.Predict the genotype of the F1 plant. B. Predict the expected proportions and genotypes in the F2 generation, if F1 eggplants are crossed.
In the four o’clock plant Mirabilis jalapa, leaf color is governed by organelle inheritance of eitherchloroplasts (green) or leucoplasts (white), or both (variegated). What are the F1 phenotypes from thefollowing crosses: Maternal Paternal F1a. green X green b. white X white c. green X white d. white X green e. variegated X variegated
a. State a hypothesis explaining the inheritance of flower color in painted tongues. b. Assign genotypes to the parents, F₁ progeny, and F2 progeny for all five crosses. c. In a cross between true-breeding yellow and true-breeding lavender plants, all of the F1 progeny are bronze. If you used F₁ plants to produce and F2 generation, what phenotypes in what ratios would you expect? Are there any genotypes that might produce a phenotype that you cannot predict from earlier experiments, and if so, how might this alter the phenotypic ratios among the F2 progeny?
Leaf coloration in the four-o'clock plant, Mirabilis jalapa, was one of the first examples of extranuclear inheritance. Leaves may be green, white or variegated. If ovules from a white-leafed branch are pollinated with pollen from a green-leafed branch, what phenotypes will be observed in the progeny? A. all green-leafed progeny B. white-, green- and variegated-leafed progeny C. white- and green-leafed progeny D. all white-leafed progeny
Give typed explanation : In peas, tall (T) is dominant to short (t). A homozygous tall plant is crossed with a short plant. The F1 are self-fertilized to produce the F2. Both tall and short plants appear in the F2. If the tall F2 are self-fertilized, what types of offspring and proportions will be produced?
