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?
More Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment Consider the following cross in pea plants, in which smooth pea shape is dominant to wrinkled, and yellow pea color is dominant to green. A plant with smooth yellow peas is crossed to a plant with wrinkled green peas. The offspring produced peas that were all smooth and yellow. What are the genotypes of the parents? What are the genotypes of the offspring?
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?
Variations on a Theme by Mendel Pea plants usually have white or red flowers. A strange pea-plant variant is found that has pink flowers. A selfcross of this plant yields the following phenotypes: 30 red flowers 62 pink flowers 33 white flowers What are the genotypes of the parents? What is the genotype of the progeny with red flowers?
Most of the feathers of erminette fowl are light colored, with an occasional black one, giving a fleckedappearance. A cross of two erminettes produced a totalof 48 progeny, consisting of 22 erminettes, 14 blacks,and 12 pure whites. What genetic basis of the erminette pattern is suggested? How would you test yourhypotheses?
Albino rabbits (lacking pigment) are homozygous forthe recessive c allele (C allows pigment formation).Rabbits homozygous for the recessive b allele makebrown pigment, while those with at least one copy ofB make black pigment. True-breeding brown rabbitswere crossed to albinos, which were also BB. F1 rabbits, which were all black, were crossed to the doublerecessive (bb cc). The progeny obtained were 34black, 66 brown, and 100 albino.a. What phenotypic proportions would have beenexpected if the b and c loci were unlinked?b. How far apart are the two loci?
Three genes in fruit flies affect a particular trait, andone dominant allele of each gene is necessary to get awild-type phenotype.a. What phenotypic ratios would you predict amongthe progeny if you crossed triply heterozygous flies?b. You cross a particular wild-type male in successionwith three tester strains. In the cross with one testerstrain (AA bb cc), only 1/4 of the progeny are wildtype. In the crosses involving the other two testerstrains (aa BB cc and aa bb CC), half of the progeny are wild type. What is the genotype of thewild-type male?
The A & B antigens in humans may be found in water-soluble forms in secretions, including saliva of individuals with the genotypes E/E& E/e, but not individuals with the genotype e/e. Thus, the population contains ‘secretors’ & ‘nonsecretors’. A cross was performed between 2 heterozygous secretors, one with type O blood and the second with type AB blood. What phenotypic ratios are expected in their offspring? A) 1/4 type A : 1/4 type B : 1/2 non-secretor B) 3/8 type A : 3/8 type B : 2/8 non-secretor C) 1/2 type A : 1/2 type B D) 3/4 type AB : 1/4 non-secretor
In maize trisomics, n + 1 pollen is not viable. If adominant allele at the B locus produces purple colorinstead of the recessive phenotype bronze and a B b btrisomic plant is pollinated by a B B b plant, whatproportion of the progeny produced will be trisomicand have a bronze phenotype?
In a certain plant, the orange flower allele (Y) is dominant to the yellow flower allele (y). An allele that prevents flower color pigment formation (W) results in white flowers irrespectively of the Y and y alleles, and is dominant to an allele (w) that allows flower color formation. What is the expected proportion of phenotypes in the offspring of a cross between two dihybrid white-flower plants? 1/3 white flowers, 1/3 orange flowers, 1/3 yellow flowers 9/16 white flowers, 3/16 orange flowers, 3/16 yellow flowers, 1/16 orange-yellowish flowers 12/16 white flowers, 3/16 orange flowers, 1/16 yellow flowers 6/8 white flowers, 1/8 orange flowers, 1/8 yellow flowers 1/2 white flowers, 1/4 orange flowers, 1/4 yellow flowers

Fruit flies with one allele for curly wings (Cy) andone allele for normal wings (Cy+) have curly wings.When two curly-winged flies were crossed, 203curly-winged and 98 normal-winged flies wereobtained. In fact, all crosses between curly-wingedflies produce nearly the same curly : normal ratioamong the progeny.a. What is the approximate phenotypic ratio in theseoffspring?b. Suggest an explanation for these data.c. If a curly-winged fly was mated to a normalwinged fly, how many flies of each type would youexpect among 180 total offspring?
