If you were to be conducting an experiment and crossed two plants, one with long stems and one with short stems and observed the characteristics of the offspring which had a mixture of both long and short stems on a single plant. What pattern of inheritance might you predict for this gene? Explain your answer.

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?
You identify a gene that determines the size of the pods of a pea plant. To study the phenotype associated with this trait, you cross a plant that is homozygous for the “long pod” allele with a pea plant that is homozygote for “short pod” allele. When measuring the length of the pods of the parents and resulting offspring, you obtain the following data: Plant Length (cm) Homozygous (“Wide” allele) 15 cm Homozygous (“Short” allele) 4 cm Resulting cross breed 9 cm What can you conclude about this phenotype/trait? Long and short alleles are codominant Wide allele shows incomplete dominance over the short allele Wide allele shows complete dominance over the short allele Short allele shows complete dominance over the long allele The wide and short genes are linked
If a chicken has black and white feathers, how could you describe the genes for feather color? If a plant has yellow flowers and is crossed with a plant with red flowers and the resulting offspring has orange flowers, what can you infer about this plant's genetics?
Using Mendel’s lines of peas, describe how you would use a test cross experimental design to determine the genotype of a pea plant with purple flowers. Be very specific in describing your experimental design and how you would interpret your results based on the proportion of offspring phenotypes. Make sure to include all possible offspring phenotypes in your answer and what the proportion of phenotypes tells you about the purple plant genotype.
Imagine you cross two closely related plant varieties: Maize and teosinte. You hypothesize that different alleles at just 5 genes are responsible for all the trait differences between the two plants. You take two inbred parent lines and cross them together to produce an F1 and then cross two F1 individuals together to produce F2 offspring. What proportion of the offspring do you expect to look exactly like each of the parent lines if your hypothesis is correct? Please show work using punnet squares.
A scientist is investigating the possibility that two traits in a particular plant are determined by genes that are on the same chromosome. The scientist crossed a plant that is homozygous dominant for both traits with a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits. The heterozygous offspring in the F1 generation were then crossed with a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits. The results expected if the genes independently assort and the observed results are presented in the table. Which of the following critical values should the scientist use for the chi-square analysis of the data? a.7.81 b.3.00 c.3.84 d.8.00
A mutant cucumber plant has flowers that fail to open when mature. Crosses can be done with this plant by manually opening and pollinating the flowers with pollen from another plant. When closed × open crosses were done, all the F1 progeny were open. The F2 plants were 145 open and 59 closed. A cross of closed × F1 gave 81 open and 77 closed. How is the closed trait inherited? What evidence led you to your conclusion?
Height among red stalk plants is divided into tall, medium and short. From tests, scientists know it is governed by two alleles of the same gene. It is known that tall plants and short plants are homozygous. What is the genotype of the medium plant? Explain your reasoning in one to two sentences. A cross between a medium plant and a tall plant occurs. What would be the genotypes? Show your work/explain your reasoning. Can medium plants be true breeding (i.e. be bred with other medium plants to ALWAYS produce medium plants)? Explain your reasoning. étv MacBook Pro %23 $ & * 3 4 5 7 8. T Y D F H. J
A heterozygous plant with genotype Aa self-pollinates, and then its offspring also self-pollinate. Find the probability that the offspring of the offspring are tall for the following genetics systems. Plants that has either one or two A alleles are tall.
A botanist carries out a cross pollination with two red poppies. In the result he obtained 75% red flowers and 25% white flowers. Determine the genotypes of the parents, using the letter R.
If you needed to determine the genotypes of a phenotypically dominant plant, could design an experiment to do so. What would you choose to cross your unknown plants with in order to determine their genotypes? Explain your answer (you may want to use a Punnett square to do so).
In a field you find three types of the same plant: some with long leaves, some with short leaves, and some of intermediate length. What would you suspect to be the genotypes of each? You measure hundreds of plants and find that about half have leaves of intermediate length, whereas one fourth have long leaves and one fourth have short leaves. Does this support your estimate of the genotypes? What kinds of crosses would you do to test it further?
