Gregor Mendel discovered the basis of heredity with his sweet pea plant experiments. In his studies, he determined that certain traits, such as pod color and pea shape, express complete dominance. Trait Dominant Recessive Pod color Yellow Green Pea shape Round Wrinkled A cross occurs between a plant with heterozygous yellow pods and wrinkled peas and a plant with green pods and heterozygous round peas. What is the probability that the offspring will exhibit recessive genes for both traits? a) 1/2 b) 1/4 c) 1/8 d) 1/16

Gregor Mendel discovered the basis of heredity with his sweet pea plant experiments. In his studies, he determined that certain traits, such as pod color and pea shape, express complete dominance. A cross occurs between a plant with heterozygous yellow pods and wrinkled peas and a plant with green pods and heterozygous round peas. What is the probability that the offspring will exhibit recessive genes for both traits? A - 1/2B - 1/4C - 1/8D - 1/16
Three recessive traits in garden pea plants are as follows: yellowpods are recessive to green pods, bluish green seedlings are recessiveto green seedlings, creeper (a plant that cannot stand up) isrecessive to normal. A true-breeding normal plant with green podsand green seedlings was crossed to a creeper with yellow pods andbluish green seedlings. The F1 plants were then crossed to creeperswith yellow pods and bluish green seedlings. The following resultswere obtained: 2059 green pods, green seedlings, normal151 green pods, green seedlings, creeper281 green pods, bluish green seedlings, normal15 green pods, bluish green seedlings, creeper2041 yellow pods, bluish green seedlings, creeper157 yellow pods, bluish green seedlings, normal282 yellow pods, green seedlings, creeper11 yellow pods, green seedlings, normal Construct a genetic map that indicates the map distances betweenthese three genes?
If a homozygous tall pea plant is crossed with a homozygous shortpea plant, what are the possible genotype and phenotype of theoffspring? Legend: T- tall pea plant t- short pea plant Genotypes of the parents: TT x tt Question to answer ff: 1. What is the genotypic ratio? 2. What are the possible phenotypes of the offspring? 3. What is the phenotypic ratio?
Mendelian ratios are modified in crosses involving autotetraploids.Assume that one plant expresses the dominant trait greenseeds and is homozygous (WWWW). This plant is crossed to onewith white seeds that is also homozygous (wwww). If only onedominant allele is sufficient to produce green seeds, predict theF1 and F2 results of such a cross. Assume that synapsis betweenchromosome pairs is random during meiosis.
Consider this cross in pea plants: Tt Rr yy Aa × Tt rr Yy Aa, whereT = tall, t = dwarf, R = round, r = wrinkled, Y = yellow, y = green,A = axial, a = terminal. What is the expected phenotypic outcomeof this cross? Have one group of students solve this problem bymaking one big Punnett square, and have another group solve it bymaking four single-gene Punnett squares and using the multiplication method. Time each other to see who gets done first.
A pea plant is heterozygous for both pod shape and color. I is the allele for dominant, inflated pod; i is the allele for recessive, constricted pod. G is the allele for dominant, green pod; g is the allele for recessive, yellow color characteristic. Suppose this plant is crossed with a homozygous pea with inflated, green pod, what will be the possible genotype of the offspring? Construct the punnet square, then identify the following: 1. Parents’ genes?2. Parents’ traits?3. Genes (genotype)?4. Shape, color? (phenotype)?5. Genotypic ratio?6. Phenotypic ratio?
In garden pea, resistance to a certain disease is controlled by a single locus with dominance forresistance (R) and recessive susceptible (r). Another locus governs seed color with yellow being dominant (Y)to green (y). A pea plant which is heterozygous for both gene pairs is crossed with a susceptible and green-seeded plant. The following data was observed in the progeny. Phenotype NumberResistant yellow 43Susceptible green 49Resistant green 16Susceptible yellow 12Total 120 a. What is the calculated chi-square value based on an independent assortment assumption? Compute forthe df and write the conclusion. (NOTE: The cross will not yield a 9:3:3:1 ratio since not both of theparental genotypes are heterozygous for the 2 pairs of alleles. Thus, perform the cross first, show theparental genotypes, the gamete…
In one study, Gregor Mendel crossed yellow-seeded, tall garden pea with a green-seeded,short garden pea. The F1 offspring were all yellow-seeded and tall. Assumingindependent assortment of these two genes, what phenotypes and proportions did he finamong F2 offspring when the F1 garden peas are allowed to fertilize themselves? Show the solution with punnett square.
In the multiple-allele series that determines coat color inrabbits, c+ encodes agouti, cch encodes chinchilla (a beigecoat color), and ch encodes Himalayan. Dominance is inthe order c+ > cch > ch. In a cross of c+/cch × cch/ch, whatproportion of progeny will be chinchilla?
Four o'clock flowers exhibit incomplete dominance (RR = red, Rr = pink, rr = white). If you were to cross a red-flowered plant with a white flowered-plant, what would be the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring? What phenotypic ratio would you expect you crossed a pink-flowered plant with a white-flowered plant?
A trait in garden peas involves the curling of leaves. A two-factorcross was made by crossing a plant with yellow pods and curlingleaves to a wild-type plant with green pods and normal leaves. AllF1 offspring had green pods and normal leaves. The F1 plants werethen crossed to plants with yellow pods and curling leaves. Thefollowing results were obtained: 117 green pods, normal leaves115 yellow pods, curling leaves78 green pods, curling leaves80 yellow pods, normal leavesA. Conduct a chi square analysis to determine if these two genesare linked.B. If they are linked, calculate the map distance between the twogenes. How accurate do you think this calculated distance is?
