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.

Question

**Understanding Genetics: Complete Dominance in Leaf Phenotypes**

Consider a plant that has the "Leaf" gene (L) which causes leaves to be either smooth or wrinkled and is inherited through complete dominance. Heterozygotes of the L gene are smooth.

**A. What are the two alleles of the gene?**

- The two alleles are "L" for smooth leaves and "l" for wrinkled leaves.

**B. What is the recessive phenotype?**

- The recessive phenotype is wrinkled leaves.

**C. What is the genotype of a homozygous dominant individual?**

- The genotype of a homozygous dominant individual is "LL".

**D. What gametes can a heterozygous individual make?**

- A heterozygous individual (Ll) can produce gametes with either the "L" or "l" allele.

**E. Make a Punnett square to predict the percentage or fraction of recessive progeny when two heterozygous individuals are mated.**

The Punnett square for the cross between two heterozygous individuals (Ll x Ll) would be as follows:

```
L | l
-----------------
L | LL | Ll
-----------------
l | Ll | ll
```

- **Genotypes:**
- 25% LL (Homozygous Dominant)
- 50% Ll (Heterozygous)
- 25% ll (Homozygous Recessive)

- **Phenotypic Ratio:**
- 75% Smooth Leaves (LL and Ll)
- 25% Wrinkled Leaves (ll)

Thus, the recessive progeny, with wrinkled leaves, make up 25% of the offspring.

II A student observes corn to analyze the outcome of two genes-- The Red gene (R or r) where purple (R) is dominant to yellow (r) and the Sugar gene (S or s) where smooth (S) is dominant to wrinkled (s). The student predicts the parent's genotypes are RRSS and rrss. Is this a good prediction for the parents of the corn shown below? Yes, it shows yellow, purple, smooth and wrinkled OYes - it shows yellow and purple No, it would show yellow and purple, but not smooth and wrinkled No, it would not show purple wrinkled, nor any yellows.

Suppose Jonathan breeds flowers and wants to optimize production of offspring with both short stems and white flowers, which are coded for by two genes with the recessive alleles t and p, respectively. In flowers, T codes for tall stems and P codes for purple flowers. Jonathan crosses two heterozygotes that produce 544544 offspring. How many of these 544544 offspring are predicted to have both short stems and white flowers? please help solve and please explain thank you
