Concept explainers

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.

A parental cross between homozygous wild-type red eyed females (X+ X+) were crossed with white eyed males (XwY). The F1 generation consisted of phenotypic X+Xw females and X+Y males. The F2 generation was produced by crossing the F1 generation and consisted of a ratio of 2 red eyed females (X+ X+ and X+ Xw) : 1 red eyed male (X+Y) : 1 white eyed male (XwY). Attached is a picture of a chi square analysis based on the results from the F2 generation. Please discus what conclusions can be made based on the data/findings. What inheritance pattern is this?
The image shows a pair of homologous chromosomes from a single parent before gamete production. M1 and M2 are maternal chromosomes, while P1 and P2 are paternal chromosomes. Two traits are shown: D represents seed color (D – green, d – yellow), while F represents flower color (F – purple, f – white). These two traits follow the patterns of basic Mendelian genetics. During crossing-over between the M2 F allele and the P1 f allele, a mutation occurred and the portion of P1 did not reattach to the chromosome. Which of the following explains what would happen to the proportion of white flowers in a population resulting from this mutation? A - There would be an increase in the proportion of white flowers because the f allele is distributed to more gametes. B - There would be a decrease in the proportion of white flowers because the f allele is not distributed to as many gametes. C - There would be an increase in the proportion of white flowers because the f allele would not be masked by the…

In sweet pea, gene C or P alone produces white flowers, the purple color being due to the presence of both of these factors. A white-flowered plant crossed with a purple produces progeny of which 3/8 are purple and 5/8 are white-flowered plants. Give the genotypes of the parents and offspring.
Petunia flower color is governed by two alleles, but neither allele is truly dominant over the other.
