If a heterozygous plant with green seeds self-fertilizes, what is the probabil-ity that 6 seeds in a single pod of the progeny plant will consist of
a. 3 green and 3 white seeds?
b. all green seeds?
c. at least 1 white seed?

Suppose you have an AAaa tetraploid plant and it undergoes self-fertilization. At least two copies of thedominant allele A are needed to obtain the dominantphenotype. At what frequency will progeny with thedominant phenotype appear?
Suppose you have an AAaa tetraploid plant and it undergo self- fertilization. At least two copies of the dominant allele A are needed to obtain the dominant phenotype. At what frequency will progeny with the dominant phenotype appear?
Two plants in a cross were each heterozygous for two gene pairs (AB/ab) whose loci are linked and 10 map units (mu) apart. (Recall that 1 mu is equal to 1% recombination between two genes.)
Assuming that crossing over occurs during the formation of both male and female gametes and that the A and B alleles are dominant, determine the phenotypic ratio of their offspring.
Part D If the two genes are 15 mu apart and the plant is (Ab/aB), what proportion of gametes from a signal plant will be ab?
Part E What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be A_B_ if the genes are 15 mu apart?
Part F What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be A_bb if the genes are 15 mu apart?
Part G What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be aaB_ if the genes are 15 mu apart?
Part H What proportion of the offspring of two plants ( both (Ab/aB)) will be aabb if the genes are 15 mu apart?

- A cross is carried out between two pure lines of tomato plants, one having regular leaves and red fruit and the other having potato leaves and yellow fruit. The F1 generation all have regular leaves and red fruit. The F1 individuals are then crossed with one another. Question text The expected phenotypic ratio for leaf shape and fruit colour genes is 9:3:3:1, if both genes are on different chromosomes and assort independently during gamete formation. The information below represents two sets of data collected from the above cross. Data Set 1 is from a population of 5000 tomato plants and Data Set 2 is from a population of 50 tomato plants.
