- A snapdragon with pink petals, black anthers, and longstems was allowed to self-fertilize. From the resultingseeds, 650 adult plants were obtained. The phenotypesof these offspring are listed here.78 red long tan26 red short tan44 red long black15 red short black39 pink long tan13 pink short tan204 pink long black68 pink short black5 white long tan2 white short tan117 white long black39 white short blacka. Using P for one allele and p for the other, indicatehow flower color is inherited.b. What numbers of red : pink : white would havebeen expected among these 650 plants?c. How are anther color and stem length inherited?d. What was the genotype of the original plant?e. Do any of the three genes show independentassortment?f. For any genes that are linked, indicate the arrangements of the alleles on the homologous chromosomes in the original snapdragon, and estimate thedistance between the genesE. W. Lindstrom crossed two corn plants with green seedlings and obtained the following progeny: 3583 green seedlings, 853 virescentwhite seedlings, and 260 yellow seedlings . Q. Give the genotypes for the green, virescent-white, and yellow progeny.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. This triple heterozygote was testcrossed, andthe progeny contained 116 shrunken, white; 4 fully wildtype; 2538 shrunken; 601 shrunken, waxy; 626 white;2708 white, waxy; 2 shrunken, white, waxy; and 113 waxy.a. Determine if any of these three loci are linked and,if so, show map distances.b. Show the allele arrangement on the chromosomesof the triple heterozygote used in the testcross.c. Calculate interference, if appropriate.
- E. W. Lindstrom crossed two corn plants with green seedlings and obtained the following progeny: 3583 green seedlings, 853 virescentwhite seedlings, and 260 yellow seedlings (E. W. Lindstrom. 1921. Genetics 6:91–110). a. Give the genotypes for the green, virescent-white, and yellow progeny. b. Explain how color is determined in these seedlings. c. Is there epistasis among the genes that determine color in the corn seedlings? If so, which gene is epistatic and which is hypostatic?Summer squash exist in long, spherical, or disk shapes. When atrue-breeding long-shaped strain was crossed to a true-breedingdisk-shaped strain, all of the F1 offspring were disk-shaped. Whenthe F1 offspring were allowed to self-fertilize, the F2 generationconsisted of a ratio of 9 disk-shaped to 6 round-shaped to 1 longshaped. Assuming the shape of summer squash is governed by twodifferent genes, with each gene existing in two alleles, propose amechanism to account for this 9:6:1 ratioTwo corn plants are studied. One is resistant (R) and the other is susceptible (S) to a certain pathogenic fungus. The following crosses are made, with the results shown: S x R d→ all progeny S R 9 x S d all progeny R a) What can you conclude about the location of the genetic determinants of R and S? b) What other criteria can be used to determine if a certain trait follows the pattern shown in (a)?

Is there epistasis among the genes that determine color in the corn seedlings? If so, which gene is epistatic and which is hypostatic?A pure-breeding strain of squash that produced diskshaped fruits (see the accompanying illustration) wascrossed with a pure-breeding strain having long fruits.The F1 had disk fruits, but the F2 showed a new phenotype, sphere, and was composed of the followingproportions:Longlong 32 sphere 178 disk 270Sphere DiskPropose an explanation for these results, and showthe genotypes of the P, F1, and F2 generations.In rice, plants homozygous for the recessive allele sd1 are relatively short in stature; heterozygotes are of normal height. Plants carrying one copy of a dominant allele, Xa4 (corresponding to a second gene located on a different chromosome), are resistant to bacterial blight. Note that both the sd1 and Xa4 alleles would be considered "mutant" alleles in this scenario. A farmer obtained two pureline plants (one is homozygous for the sd1 mutant and the other is homozygous for the Xa4 mutant) and crossed them. Assume both pureline plants have identical alleles at all other loci, and no other mutant alleles are present in these two plants, which of these statements is correct? O All the progeny will be susceptible to bacterial blight and will be short. O When a progeny plant from the cross goes through meiosis, gametes will either contain sd1 or Xa4 alleles, but never both. O When a progeny plant from the cross goes through meiosis, four possible types of gametes that may form, and the…
- Fine spines (s), smooth fruit (tu), and uniform fruit color (u) are three recessive traits in cucumbers. A cucumber plant heterozygous for all three traits is used in a test cross, and the following progeny are produced from this test cross. Type Number SU TU su Tu Su Tu su tu SU tu s U tu s U Tu Su tu TOTAL 2 70 21 4 82 21 13 17 230 Identify the order of the genes on the chromosome:Are the following progeny numbers consistent with theresults expected from selfing a plant presumed to be adihybrid of two independently assorting genes, H/h ;R/r? (H = hairy leaves; h = smooth leaves; R = roundovary; r = elongated ovary.) Explain your answer.hairy, round 178 smooth, round 56hairy, elongated 62 smooth, elongated 24In corn, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of corn plants (i.e. the tassel) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male-fertile corn plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male-sterile lines. Using the following color-coded circles, simulate the crosses indicated below. Put the illustrations of crosses in the spaces provided. Be sure to include in the labels the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring in each cross. Big light green circle - male-sterile cytoplasm Big orange circle - male-fertile cytoplasm Small orange circle - FF nucleus Small half-light green-half-orange circle - Ff nucleus Small light-green circle - ff nucleus
