In corn, purple kernels (P) are dominant over yellow kernels (p) and starchy kernels (Su) are dominant over sugary kernels (su). A corn plant grown from a purple and starchy kernel is crossed with a plant grown from a yellow and sugary kernel, and the following progeny (kernels) are produced: Phenotype Num purple, starchy 15 purple, sugary 14 yellow, starchy 16 yellow, sugary 11 Formulate a hypothesis about the genotypes of the parents and offspring in this cross. Perform a chi-square goodness-of-fit test comparing the observed progeny with the numbers expected based on your genetic hypothesis. What conclusion can you draw based on the results of your chi-square test? Can you suggest an explanation for the observed results?

Assume that plant height is determined by a pair of alleles at each of two loci (A and a, B and b) that are additive in their effects. Further assume that each allele represented by an uppercase letter contributes 6 feet to height and that each allele represented by a lowercase letter contributes 2 foot to height. If a plant with genotype Aabb is crossed to a plant with genotype aaBb, what heights are expected in the progeny? 1/216ft : 1/2 12ft 1/4 16ft : 1/2 12ft : 1/4 8ft 1/4 20ft : 1/2 16ft : 1/4 12ft 1/4 24ft : 1/2 20ft : 1/4 16ft 1/2 20ft : 1/2 16ft
The genes responsible for albinism (A or a) and pink eyes (P or p) in mice are linked and wild-type pigmentation is dominant in both traits. A homozygous wild-type mouse is mated with an albino, pink-eyed mouse. The resulting F1 mice are crossed with albino, pink-eyed mice. The F2 progeny of this testcross are: 22 7 wild-type body color, wild-type eyes albino body color, wild-type eyes wild-type body color, pink eyes albino body color, pink eyes 10.000 3 18 How many cM apart are the albinism and pink-eye genes?

The fly with vestigial wings is crossed with the fly with normal wings shown in the upper-right corner of the figure. If the progeny are reared at 31°C, what percentage will have vestigial wings?
Assume that the length of a type of cucumber at maturity is controlled by two genes (A and B), each of which has two alleles. The A and B alleles each add 3 inches of cucumber growth, while the a and b alleles add only 1 inches.

F1 hybrid is obtained from the following cross: Parent 1: AB/AB; d/d; E/E Parent 2: ab/ab; D/D; e/e Assume that all genes are sorted independently except for genes A and B, which are tightly linked and show zero recombination. Following a testcross of F1, what proportion of the F2 progeny will be phenotypically like parent 1? 1/4 1/16 1/32 9/64 1/8
In corn, the genes that determine seed color and coat are both located on chromosome 9. Seed color (C) can be colored or colorless, where colored seed is dominant and seed coat (W) can be waxy or unwaxy, where waxy is dominant. A strain that was heterozygous for both genes was crossed with a plant that was homozygous recessive for both genes. The resulting F1 progeny is described below: colored, waxy seed 17 colored, unwaxy 33 uncolored, waxy seed 32 uncolored, unwaxy seed 18 The arrangement of alleles in P generation was?
In the tomato, yellow flowers (Y) is dominant to white flowers (y). A true-breeding yellow flowered strain is crossed with a true-breeding white flowered strain.A. If the F1 generation is self crossed, what will be the genotypes and phenotypes of the progeny and in what portions are they expected? B. If an F1 plant were crossed with a plant from true-breeding white flowered strain, what will be the genotypes and phenotypes of the progeny and in what portions are they expected?
In tomatoes, regular leaves (L) are multilobed and serrated and potato leaves (l) are broad, smooth, and single (Image 1). Red fruit (F) is dominant to yellow fruit (f). A cross is carried out between two pure lines of tomato plants, one having regular leaves and red fruit and the other having potato leaves and yellow fruit. The F1 generation all have regular leaves and red fruit. The F1individuals are then crossed with one another. Complete a Punnett square to determine the expected F2 progeny on the basis of Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment, which states that the alleles for one gene segregate independently of the alleles for other genes during gamete formation. Record the phenotypes and the phenotype ratio of the F2 generation in lowest terms.
An insect from a strain breeding for white eyes (RRww) was crossed to an insect from a strain breeding for cream eye (rrWW). The F1 all had red eyes. The F1s were intercrossed to produce F2 generation that consisted of 175 red eyed:81 white eyed. Provide the genetics of inheritance of this trait. Provide the genotypes for the F1s and F2s of this cross.
In a parental cross of a autosomal dominant homozygous lethal disease trait, where the father is affected and mother unaffected, 50% of offspring will have disease phenotype and 50% will have the wild type phenotype. In f1 cross between affected male and unaffected female, the expected proportions of the disease phenotype and the wild type phenotype in the f2 generation are:
In some plants, a true-breeding, red-flowered variety gives all pink flowers when crossed with a white-flowered strain: RR (red) X rr (white) = Rr (pink). Flower position in this plant may either be axial (dominant) or terminal (recessive). What will be the phenotypic ratios of the F1 generation resulting from the following cross: axial-red (true-breeding) X terminal-white? What will the phenotypic ratios of the F2 be? SHOW ALL WORK
In a certain plant, the dominant form of gene B codes for blue fruit, while the recessive form results in pink fruit. The dominant form of another gene, E, inhibits the activity of the enzyme coded for by gene B, resulting in white fruit, while the recessive form is unable to inhibit this enzyme and results in colored (i.e., blue or pink) fruit. A doubly-homozygous dominant white-fruited plant is crossed with a pink-fruited plant. The F1 progeny were then self-crossed to generate the F2 generation. Determine the ratios of genotypes and phenotypes for each generation.
