Butterflies show 3 phenotypes due to incomplete dominance at the D locus with alleles DY and DB giving green phenotype in heterozygotes and yellow and blue in homozygotes. A population of butterflies showed 49% yellow, and 51% blue and green. What percentage of the gametes for the next generation would contain the DB allele?

Butterflies show 3 phenotypes due to incomplete dominance at the D locus with alleles DY and DB giving green phenotype in heterozygotes and yellow and blue in homozygotes. a) A population of butterflies showed 49% yellow, and 51% blue and green. What percentage of the gametes for the next generation would contain the DB allele? b) In another population only 1% of the butterflies are blue, what is the DY allele frequency? c) If the butterflies were subject to predation by birds that could easily detect blue & yellow individuals what effect would you expect this to have on the genotype and allele frequencies over time? Indicate possible percentages.
In corn plants, a dominant allele Z inhibits kernel color, while the recessive allele z permits color when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant allele X causes purple kernel color, while the homozygous recessive genotype causes red kernel color. If corn plants heterozygous for both the Z and X genes are crossed, what are the chances that the offspring will have purple kernels? Enter your answer as a decimal fraction in the box (e.g. 0.25).
In garden peas, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white (p) flowers, and tall plants (T) are dominant to short plants (t). If a purple tall plant (PpTt) is crossed with a white short blant, what is the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring? * O 1:1:1:1 purple tall to purple short to white tall to white short O 3:2 purple tall to purple short 9:3:3:1 purple tall to purple short to white tall to white short O 1:1 purple tall to purple short all purple tall
In frost moths, two alleles of one gene determine the character difference of spotted versus striped wings and two alleles of a separate, independent gene determine the character difference of orange wing background versus white wing background.

D D 1 2 d In a particular plant, leaf color is controlled by gene locus D. Plants with at least one allele D have dark green leaves, and plants with the homozygous recessive dd genotype have light green leaves. A true-breeding, dark-leaved plant is crossed with a light-leaved one, and the F1 offspring is allowed to self-pollinate. The predicted outcome of the F2 is diagrammed in the Punnett square shown in the figure, where 1, 2, 3, and 4 represent the genotypes corresponding to each box within the square. Which of the boxes marked 1-4 correspond to plants with a heterozygous genotype? O 1 only O 1, 2, and 3 2 and 3 2, 3, and 4 4) 3.

In corn plants, a dominant allele (I) inhibits kernel colour, but the recessive allele (i) permits colour when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant gene P causes purple kernel colour, and the homozygous recessive genotype pp causes red kernels. If plants that are heterozygous at both loci are crossed, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the F1 generation?
