**Maize Genetics Experiment**In a genetics experiment involving maize (corn), a P1 cross was conducted between two true breeding plants: one starchy purple and the other sweet colorless. This cross resulted in offspring (F1 generation) that were all starchy and purple.The F2 generation shows a variety of phenotypes with the following distribution:- 88 starchy and purple- 32 starchy and colorless- 29 sweet and purple- 17 sweet and colorless**Question:**Based on this F2 phenotypic ratio, how many genes and how many alleles per gene (respectively) are most likely involved in determining these traits?**Options:**- It's 4, 2- It's 1, 4- It's 2, 2- It's 2, 4- It's 1, 2**Analysis:**To determine the genetic involvement, consider the ratio and variety of F2 phenotypes. This information can help in deducing the number of genes and alleles contributing to the traits observed.

The alleles are the alternative forms of a gene that are located on the same locus of a homologous…

Maize (corn) is used for an experiment. The P1 cross of true breeding starchy purple x sweet colorless resulted in all starchy and purple F1. The F2 is as follows: 88 starchy and purple, 32 starchy and colorless, 29 sweet and purple, 17 sweet and colorless. How many genes and how many alleles per gene (respectively) are most likely involved? It's 4, 2 It's 1,4 It's 2, 2 It's 2, 4 It's 1,2

The weight of the fruit of a certain kind of melon is determined by 2 genes, each with 2 alleles. The genotype AABB produces melons weighing 4 pounds each, while the genotype aabb produces melons weighing 2 pounds each. Each dominant allele adds 0.5 pound to a melon’s weight. When a plant producing 4-pound melons was crossed with another plant producing 2-pound melons, all of their F1 offspring produced melons weighing 3 pounds

In mangoes wide leaf and narrow leaf are alternative characters and wide (W) is dominant to narrow (w). Red stem and green stem are another pair of characters with red (R) dominant to green (r) . A true breeding wide, green mango plant was crossed with a true-breeding narrow, red plant and the F1 plants were interbred. 337 F2 plants were produced with the following phenotypes; 202 wide, red; 69 wide, green; 15 narrow, green; 51 narrow, red.

In pea plants yellow seed color, (GG) and round seed shape (WW) seeds are dominant traits, while green color or (gg) wrinkled shape (ww) seeds are recessive traits. You cross a pure breeding plant with yellow wrinkled seeds to a pure breeding plant with green round seeds to generate F1s. When you perform a reciprocal cross you get the same results. You take an F1 male and an F1 female and generate an F2 population. Of all the F2 offspring you count 18 that have yellow wrinkled seeds. Based on this information, how many F2 offspring do you expect to display only dominant traits? a) 72 b) 54 c) 18 d) 24 e) 6
