If you were to be conducting an experiment and crossed two plants, one with long stems and one with short stems and observed the characteristics of the offspring which had a mixture of both long and short stems on a single plant. What pattern of inheritance might you predict for this gene? Explain your answer.

You experiment with the genetics of height in a plant. You cross a homozygous tall (TT) plant with a homozygous short (tt) plant. Describe what the genotype and phenotype of the F1 progeny would look like if the plants exhibited complete dominance. Now describe the expected results if the trait exhibited incomplete dominance. What about the F2 progeny, assuming you crossed the F1 progeny with each other?
You identify a gene that determines the size of the pods of a pea plant. To study the phenotype associated with this trait, you cross a plant that is homozygous for the “long pod” allele with a pea plant that is homozygote for “short pod” allele. When measuring the length of the pods of the parents and resulting offspring, you obtain the following data: Plant Length (cm) Homozygous (“Wide” allele) 15 cm Homozygous (“Short” allele) 4 cm Resulting cross breed 9 cm What can you conclude about this phenotype/trait? Long and short alleles are codominant Wide allele shows incomplete dominance over the short allele Wide allele shows complete dominance over the short allele Short allele shows complete dominance over the long allele The wide and short genes are linked
If a chicken has black and white feathers, how could you describe the genes for feather color? If a plant has yellow flowers and is crossed with a plant with red flowers and the resulting offspring has orange flowers, what can you infer about this plant's genetics?
Imagine you cross two closely related plant varieties: Maize and teosinte. You hypothesize that different alleles at just 5 genes are responsible for all the trait differences between the two plants. You take two inbred parent lines and cross them together to produce an F1 and then cross two F1 individuals together to produce F2 offspring. What proportion of the offspring do you expect to look exactly like each of the parent lines if your hypothesis is correct? Please show work using punnet squares.
A mutant cucumber plant has flowers that fail to open when mature. Crosses can be done with this plant by manually opening and pollinating the flowers with pollen from another plant. When closed × open crosses were done, all the F1 progeny were open. The F2 plants were 145 open and 59 closed. A cross of closed × F1 gave 81 open and 77 closed. How is the closed trait inherited? What evidence led you to your conclusion?
The gene for lengths of stem in a garden pea plant results in either tall or short stems, with tall being the dominant trait. Pretend you are a geneticist and, for the purpose of an investigation, you would like to determine if a tall pea plant is homozygous dominant or heterozygous. Explain your reasoning using Punnett squares. Be sure to give the expected results of each Punnett Square you draw.
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
Describe one of the reasons that made the garden pea an excellent choice of model system for studying inheritance.
Use a Punnett square to predict the offspring in a cross between a dwarf pea plant (homozygous recessive) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous). What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring?
The results of a test cross of a plant that is heterozygous for three traits encoded by the genes D, R, and Q are summarized in the table (below), which shows the numbers of offspring that inherited each combination of alleles from the heterozygous parent. Use the data collected to make a genetic map of genes D, R, and Q. Make a map of the distance between these three genes. Report your results by entering the genetic distance between each pair of genes to the nearest 0.1 cM in the blanks below.

In the Pea plants studied by Gregor Mendel, green pod colour is dominant over yellow pod colour. You have grown the same species in your garden and the plant is producing only green pods. You were guaranteed by the garden store that it was homozygous (pure-breeding) but you are not completely sure. Show how you can find out.
