With use of Punnett diagrams discuss how the results of experiments carried out by Austrian monk Gregor Mendel on pea plants brought aboutthe Law of Dominance, the Law of Segregation, and the Law of Independent assortment.
Mendelian Genetics F2 Cross: Yellow, Round x Green, Round GgWw x ggWW Character: Pea color & shape Use Punnett square and fork-line method to check the possible offspring. Show and interpret all the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offsprings
Consider the following cross examining four gene in two parental lines: Parent 1: A/a; B/b; D/d; e/e Parent 2: a/a; b/b; d/d; E/e Assuming independent assortment for the four genes, what fraction of progeny will have the same genotype as that of parent 2? O 1/2 O 1/4 1/8 O 1/16
In com, colored aleurone (in the kernels) is due to the dominant allele R. The recessive allele r, when homozygous, produces colorless aleurone. The plant color (not the kernel color) is controlled by another gene with two alleles Y and y. The dominant Y allele results in green color, whereas the homozygous presence of the recessive y allele causes the plant to appear yellow. In a testcross between a plant of unknown genotype and phenotype and a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits, the following progeny were obtained. Numbers of Offspring Phenotype Colored Aleurone & Green Plant 88 Colored Aleurone & Yellow Plant 12 Colorless Aleurone & Green Plant 8 Colorless Aleurone & Yellow Plant 92 Question: Determine the genotype and phenotype of the unknown plant, including the precise association of the two genes on the homologs (i.e. the map arrangement)
When traits show complete dominance, the genotype can be revealed by a test cross. In the example of tall and dwarf plants (Figure) why is it necessary to use the dwarf parent? In general, why is it necessary to use a parent that is homozygous recessive?

Height among red stalk plants is divided into tall, medium and short. From tests, scientists know it is governed by two alleles of the same gene. It is known that tall plants and short plants are homozygous. What is the genotype of the medium plant? Explain your reasoning in one to two sentences. A cross between a medium plant and a tall plant occurs. What would be the genotypes? Show your work/explain your reasoning. Can medium plants be true breeding (i.e. be bred with other medium plants to ALWAYS produce medium plants)? Explain your reasoning. étv MacBook Pro %23 $ & * 3 4 5 7 8. T Y D F H. J
A scientist is investigating the possibility that two traits in a particular plant are determined by genes that are on the same chromosome. The scientist crossed a plant that is homozygous dominant for both traits with a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits. The heterozygous offspring in the F1 generation were then crossed with a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits. The results expected if the genes independently assort and the observed results are presented in the table. Which of the following critical values should the scientist use for the chi-square analysis of the data? a.7.81 b.3.00 c.3.84 d.8.00
Two unlinked genes control flower color in snapdragons. You cross a true-breeding yellow flowered plant with a true-breeding white flowered plant. All of the offspring are white flowered. When you intercross these white flowers, the offspring occur in a ratio of 9 white: 3 red: and 4 yellow flowered. What genotypes make up the red flowered offspring? R_W_and rrW_ R_W_only rrW_only R_ww and rrww rrww only
Which of the following is unable to form a linkage group? O genes that are not located on the same chromosome O genes that are located on the same chromosome O genes that are more than 17cM apart from one another
One plant may contain hundreds of individual seeds, each resulting from a separate fertilization event. Asingle gene controls seed color with two alleles—the dominant allele results in black seeds, and the recessive allele results in brown seeds. In an experiment, a homozygous dominant plant is crossed with a heterozygous plant. Which of the following is the best prediction for the percentage of brown seeds that would result from this cross? 0% 25% 50% 75% 80% 100%
