Crossing Pea Plants: Mendels Study of Single Traits An unspecified characteristic controlled by a single gene is examined in pea plants. Only two phenotypic states exist for this trait. One phenotypic state is completely dominant to the other. A heterozygous plant is self-crossed. What proportion of the progeny of plants exhibiting the dominant phenotype is homozygous?
Variations on a Theme by Mendel Pea plants usually have white or red flowers. A strange pea-plant variant is found that has pink flowers. A selfcross of this plant yields the following phenotypes: 30 red flowers 62 pink flowers 33 white flowers What are the genotypes of the parents? What is the genotype of the progeny with red flowers?
Analysis of Autosomal Recessive and Dominant Traits Huntington disease is a rare, fatal disease that usually develops in the fourth or fifth decade of life. It is caused by a single autosomal dominant allele. A phenotypically normal man in his twenties who has a 2-year-old son of his own learns that his father has developed Huntington disease. What is the probability that he himself will develop the disease? What is the chance that his young son will eventually develop the disease?
Incomplete dominanceIn Mendel's experiments, if the gene for tall (T) plants was incompletely dominant overthe gene for short (t) plants, what would be the result of crossing two Tt plants? Explain result.
In a dihybrid cross of two heterozygous individuals, you expect a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio in the offspring, but observe a ratio of 9:7. What is the most likely explanation? O Codominance O It is a sex-limited trait O Simple Mendelian inheritance O Incomplete penetrance O Epistatic interaction of the two genes
Most of the feathers of erminette fowl are light colored, with an occasional black one, giving a fleckedappearance. A cross of two erminettes produced a totalof 48 progeny, consisting of 22 erminettes, 14 blacks,and 12 pure whites. What genetic basis of the erminette pattern is suggested? How would you test yourhypotheses?
Write the number of different kinds of phenotypes,excluding sex, you would see among a large numberof progeny from an F1 mating between individuals ofidentical genotype that are heterozygous for one ortwo genes (that is, Aa or Aa Bb) as indicated. No geneinteractions means that the phenotype determined byone gene is not influenced by the genotype of theother gene.a. One gene; A completely dominant to a.b. One gene; A and a codominant.c. One gene; A incompletely dominant to a.d. Two unlinked genes; no gene interactions; Acompletely dominant to a, and B completelydominant to b.e. Two genes, 10 m.u. apart; no gene interactions; Acompletely dominant to a, and B completely dominant to b.f. Two unlinked genes; no gene interactions; A anda codominant, and B incompletely dominant to b.g.

Three genes in fruit flies affect a particular trait, andone dominant allele of each gene is necessary to get awild-type phenotype.a. What phenotypic ratios would you predict amongthe progeny if you crossed triply heterozygous flies?b. You cross a particular wild-type male in successionwith three tester strains. In the cross with one testerstrain (AA bb cc), only 1/4 of the progeny are wildtype. In the crosses involving the other two testerstrains (aa BB cc and aa bb CC), half of the progeny are wild type. What is the genotype of thewild-type male?
Labrador retrievers may be black, brown, or golden in color (seethe chapter opening photograph on p. 53). Although each colormay breed true, many different outcomes occur if numerous littersare examined from a variety of matings, where the parentsare not necessarily true-breeding. The following results showsome of the possibilities. Propose a mode of inheritance that isconsistent with these data, and indicate the corresponding genotypesof the parents in each mating. Indicate as well the genotypesof dogs that breed true for each color.(a) black * brown ¡ all black(b) black * brown ¡ 1/2 black1/2 brown(c) black * brown ¡ 3/4 black1/4 golden(d) black * golden ¡ all black(e) black * golden ¡ 4/8 golden3/8 black1/8 brown(f) black * golden ¡ 2/4 golden1/4 black1/4 brown(g) brown * brown ¡ 3/4 brown1/4 golden(h) black * black ¡ 9/16 black4/16 golden3/16 brown
Independent assortment predicts a 9:3:3:1 ratio in a dihybrid cross, with four different phenotypes in the F2 progeny. If there were epistasis between the two loci, what would you predict? O more than four phenotypes O fewer than four phenotypes O no change in the 9:3:3:1 ratio O an excess of parental phenotypes O heterozygotes with an intermediate phenotype
A mouse from a true-breeding population with normal gait was crossed to a mouse displaying an oddgait called dancing. The F1 animals all showednormal gait.a. If dancing is caused by homozygosity for the recessive allele of a single gene, what proportion ofthe F2 mice should be dancers?b. If mice must be homozygous for recessive allelesof each of two different genes to have the dancing phenotype, what proportion of the F2 shouldbe dancers if the two genes are unlinked?(Assume that all the mice in the populationwith normal gait were homozygous fordominant alleles.)c. When the F2 mice were obtained, 42 normal and8 dancers were seen. Use the chi-square test todetermine if these results better fit the one-genemodel from part (a) or the two-gene model frompart (b).
Summer squash exist in long, spherical, or disk shapes. When atrue-breeding long-shaped strain was crossed to a true-breedingdisk-shaped strain, all of the F1 offspring were disk-shaped. Whenthe F1 offspring were allowed to self-fertilize, the F2 generationconsisted of a ratio of 9 disk-shaped to 6 round-shaped to 1 longshaped. Assuming the shape of summer squash is governed by twodifferent genes, with each gene existing in two alleles, propose amechanism to account for this 9:6:1 ratio
