In peas, tallness is dominant over dwarfness, and red colour of flowers is dominant over the white colour. When a tall plant bearing red flowers was pollinated by a dwarf plant bearing white flowers, the different phenotypic groups were obtained in the progeny in numbers mentioned against them. Tall, Red = 138 Tall, White = 132 Dwarf, Red = 136 Dwarf, White = 128 %3D Mention the genotypes of the two parents and of the types of four offspring.

Hemophilia and color blindness are both recessive conditions caused by genes on the X chromosome. To calculate the recombination frequency between the two genes, you draw a large number of pedigrees that include grandfathers with both hemophilia and color blindness, their daughters (who presumably have one chromosome with two normal alleles and one chromosome with two mutant alleles), and the daughters sons. Analyzing all the pedigrees together shows that 25 grandsons have both color blindness and hemophilia, 24 have neither of the traits, 1 has color blindness only, and 1 has hemophilia only. How many centimorgans (map units) separate the hemophilia locus from the locus for color blindness?
More Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment Consider the following cross: P1: AABBCCDDEE aabbccddee F1: AaBbCcDdEe (self-cross to get F2) What is the chance of getting an AaBBccDdee individual in the F2 generation?
In corn, the genes for tassel length (alleles T and t) andrust resistance (alleles R and r) are known to be on separate chromosomes. In the course of making routinecrosses, a breeder noticed that one T/t ; R/r plant gaveunusual results in a testcross with the double-recessivepollen parent t/t ; r/r. The results wereProgeny: T/t ; R/r 98t/ t ; r/r 104T/t ; r/r 3t/t ; R/r 5Corncobs: Only about half as many seeds as usuala. What key features of the data are different from theexpected results?b. State a concise hypothesis that explains the results.c. Show genotypes of parents and progeny.d. Draw a diagram showing the arrangement of alleleson the chromosomes.e. Explain the origin of the two classes of progenyhaving three and five members.
In garden pea, resistance to a certain disease is controlled by a single locus with dominance forresistance (R) and recessive susceptible (r). Another locus governs seed color with yellow being dominant (Y)to green (y). A pea plant which is heterozygous for both gene pairs is crossed with a susceptible and green-seeded plant. The following data was observed in the progeny. Phenotype NumberResistant yellow 43Susceptible green 49Resistant green 16Susceptible yellow 12Total 120 a. What is the calculated chi-square value based on an independent assortment assumption? Compute forthe df and write the conclusion. (NOTE: The cross will not yield a 9:3:3:1 ratio since not both of theparental genotypes are heterozygous for the 2 pairs of alleles. Thus, perform the cross first, show theparental genotypes, the gamete…
A trait in garden peas involves the curling of leaves. A two-factorcross was made by crossing a plant with yellow pods and curlingleaves to a wild-type plant with green pods and normal leaves. AllF1 offspring had green pods and normal leaves. The F1 plants werethen crossed to plants with yellow pods and curling leaves. Thefollowing results were obtained: 117 green pods, normal leaves115 yellow pods, curling leaves78 green pods, curling leaves80 yellow pods, normal leavesA. Conduct a chi square analysis to determine if these two genesare linked.B. If they are linked, calculate the map distance between the twogenes. How accurate do you think this calculated distance is?
A pea plant heterozygous for plant height, podshape, and flower color was selfed. The progenyconsisted of 272 tall, inflated pods, purple flowers;92 tall, inflated, white flowers; 88 tall, flat pods,purple; 93 dwarf, inflated, purple; 35 tall, flat, white;31 dwarf, inflated, white; 29 dwarf, flat, purple;11 dwarf, flat, white. Which alleles are dominantin this cross?
In corn, the allele Pr stands for green stems, pr for purple stems. A corn plant of genotype pr/pr that has standard chromosomes is crossed with a Pr/Pr plant that is homozygous for a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 2 and 5. The F1 is semisterile and phenotypicallyPr. A backcross with the parent with standard chromosomes gives 764 semisterile Pr, 145 semisterile pr, 186 normal Pr, and 727 normal pr. What is the map distance between the Pr locus and the translocation point?
In corn, a triple heterozygote was obtained carrying themutant alleles s (shrunken), w (white aleurone), andy (waxy endosperm), all paired with their normal wildtype alleles.

In peas, green pods(G) are dominant to yellpw pods(g) and inflated pods(I) are dominant to constricted pods(i). Cross an individual heterozygous for both trairs with an individual that has yellow, constricted pods. Using the five steps, show the possible phenotypes and their ratios(as fractions) for this cross. Punnet square.
Dominant allele R in corn results in purple kernel, while recessive allele r results in pearl white kernel in homozygous condition. The plant body colour is controlled by another gene with two alternative alleles, G for green colour and g for yellow colour. In a testcross between a corn plant with unknown genotype and a plant that is homozygous recessive for both genes, the following progeny were obtained: Phenotype Purple, green Purple, yellow Pearl white, green Pearl white, yellow Number 90 12 10 88 Explain how these results were obtained by determining the exact genotype of the unknown plant. Include the precise gene arrangement on the homologous chromosomes.
