In corn, two independent, recessive nuclear genes, japonica (j) and iojap (ij), produce variegation (green and white striped leaves). Matings between individuals heterozygous for japonica always produce 3 green:1 striped individuals regardless of how the cross is performed. You have a variegated plant that could be either jj or ijij . What cross can you make to determine the genotype of this plant, and what results do you expect in the F1 generation in each case?

Individuals of genotype AaBb were mated to individuals of genotype aabb. One thousand offspring were counted, with the following results: 474 Aabb, 480 aaBb, 20 AaBb, and 26 aabb. What type of cross is it? Are these loci linked? What are the two parental classes and the two recombinant classes of offspring? What is the percentage of recombination between these two loci? How many map units apart are they?
In corn plants, two pairs of genes control color in the ears of corn. The following genotypes result in various colors: W-C- [red]; wwC- [yellow]; W-cc [white]; wwcc [white]. What is the phenotypic ratio of the dihybrid cross between corn plants heterozygous for both genes? (Dashes mean the allele could be W or w, i.e., WWCC/WwCC/WWCc/WwCc geneotype gives red color)

In sesame plants, the one-pod condition (P) is dominant to the three-pod condition (p), and normal leaf (L) is dominant to wrinkled leaf (l). Pod type and leaf type are inherited independently. Determine the genotypes for the two parents for all possible matings producing the following offspring: 318 one-pod, normal leaf and 98 one-pod, wrinkled leaf. show your solution using punnet square
In corn plants, a dominant allele (K) allows kernel colour and a recessive allele (k) inhibits kernel colour when homozygous. On a different chromosome, the dominant gene P causes purple kernel colour and the homozygous recessive genotype causes red kernel colour.A true breeding white corn plant was crossed with a purple corn plant, yielding 50% red corn plants and 50% purple corn plants.What are the genotypes of the parental corn plants?

In the video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons, flowering breeding is based in genetics. Each flower's color is determined by the genotype at three or four unlinked genes: R, Y, W, and S. The genotype of the elusive blue rose is RR YY ww ss. In the game, one way to get a blue rose is to cross two roses with the Rr Yy Ww ss genotype. A) What types of gametes and in what proportions will a Rr Yy Ww ss rose produce? B) In a cross Rr Yy Ww ss x Rr Yy Ww ss what are the possible offspring genotypes and at what frequency will they each appear? Show your work. C) What proportion of the offspring of the cross will be blue roses?
In the following cross, imagine that you have a female fly that has two Xs and one Y due to a nondisjunction event in her mother's germ cells. Draw out what the possible gametes are for both the female and the male and also a Punnett square showing the genotypes, phenotypes, and sex of the possible flies as a result of this cross. You do not need to provide the probabilities of each of these. Red-eyed wi C Ở Red-eyed wt XX Y X Y Meiosis
You have a purple-flowered pea plant, but you do not know if it is homozygous (PP) or heterozygous (Pp) for flower color because both genotypes result in the same purple phenotype. Purple color allel (P) is dominant over white flower allel (p). What would you do to determine the genotype of flower color of this plant? Lötfen birini seçin: O a. Crossing the plant with homozygous large flowered pea plant (LL) Ob.

Fruit fly body color is wild type (meaning normal) Gray = B+ and black = b Fruit fly wing type is wild type normal wings = vg+ and vg = vestigial A fly which was heterozygous for both traits was crossed with a fly that was recessive for both traits. Write the genotype and phenotype that would be expected from this cross. Write the genotype and phenotype percentages that would be expected from this cross.
In watermelons, bitter fruit (B) is dominant over sweet fruit (b), and yellow spots (S) are dominant over no spots (s). The genes for these two characteristics assort independently. A homozygous plant that has bitter fruit and yellow spots is crossed with a homozygous plant that has sweet fruit and no spots. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. What will be the phenotypic ratios in the F2? 2. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the bitter, yellow-spotted parent, what phenotypes and proportions are expected in the offspring? 3. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the sweet, non-spotted parent, what phenotypes and proportions are expected in the offspring? 4. In cats, curled ears (Cu) result from an allele that is dominant over an allele for normal ears (cu). Black color results from an independently assorting allele (G) that is dominant over an allele for gray (g). A gray cat homozygous for curled ears is mated with a homozygous black cat with normal ears. All the F1…
In pea plants, yellow seeds (Y) are dominant to green seeds (y) and round seeds (R) are dominant to wrinkled seeds (). The genes for seed color and seed shape are on different chromosomes. Two true-breeding parents, one with yellow round peas and the other with green wrinkled peas, are crossed to produce a hybrid (heterozygous) F₁. Two F₁ individuals are crossed to give an F2; this is depicted in the Punnett square below. Place the correct genotypes in the Punnett square and the place the correct phenotypic ratios next to their appropriate phenotype on the right.

In corn plants, a dominant allele Z inhibits kernel color, while the recessive allele z permits color when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant allele X causes purple kernel color, while the homozygous recessive genotype causes red kernel color. If corn plants heterozygous for both the Z and X genes are crossed, what are the chances that the offspring will have purple kernels? Enter your answer as a decimal fraction in the box (e.g. 0.25).
