Mendel crossed peas having green seeds with peas having yellow seeds. The F1 generation produced only yellow seeds. In the F2, the progeny consisted of 6022 plants with yellow seeds and 2001 plants with green seeds. Of the F2 yellow-seeded plants, 519 were self-fertilized with the following results: 166 bred true for yellow and 353 produced an F3 ratio of 3/4 yellow: 1/4 green. Explain these results by diagramming the crosses.

How many map units apart are they?
Mendel performs a cross using a true-breeding pea plant with round, yellow seeds and a true- breeding pea plant with green, wrinkled seeds. What is the probability that offspring will have green, round seeds? Calculate the probability for the F1 and F2 generations.
Imagine that you are performing a cross involving seed texture in garden pea plants. You cross true-breeding round and wrinkled parents to obtain F1 offspring. Which of the following experimental results in terms of numbers of plants are closest to what you expect in the F2 progeny? a. 8lOroundseeds b. 8lOwrinkledseeds c. 405:395 round seeds:wrinkled seeds d. 610:190 round seeds:wrinkled seeds
Mendel crossed peas having round seeds and yellow cotyledons with peas having wrinkled seeds and green cotyledons. All the F1 plants had round seeds with yellow cotyledons. Diagram this cross through the F2 generation, using both the Punnett square and forked-line methods.
Purebred wrinkled, green-seeded pea plants were crossed with purebred round, yellow-seeded plants. The F1, all of which had round and yellow seeds, were then self-crossed resulting in the following F2: 172 plants with round and yellow seeds, 55 plants with round and green seeds, 58 plants with wrinkled and yellow seeds, and 15 plants with wrinkled and green seeds. Calculate the chi-square value and determine the p-value range. Which of the following are the correct chi-square values, p-value range, and whether you would accept or reject the hypothesis that these results are consistent with Mendelian predictions?
Mendelian ratios are modified in crosses involving autotetraploids.Assume that one plant expresses the dominant trait greenseeds and is homozygous (WWWW). This plant is crossed to onewith white seeds that is also homozygous (wwww). If only onedominant allele is sufficient to produce green seeds, predict theF1 and F2 results of such a cross. Assume that synapsis betweenchromosome pairs is random during meiosis.
Mendel crossed two Pea plants for plant height and flower color Tall plant (T) is dominant to Short Plant (t). Purple Flower (P) is dominant to white flower (p). Using the following information perform the dihybrid cross using punnett squares that will predict all possible genotypes of the offspring and list the number and description of the phenotypes of the offspring. A. One plant homozygous dominant for plant height and flower color crossed with another plant homozygous recessive for plant height and heterozygous for flower color.
You have a pure breeding plant with red flowers, yellow seeds and red-veined leaves. You cross this with another pure breeding plant that has white flowers, pink seeds and yellow leaf veins. All of the offspring (F1) have white flowers, yellow seeds and orange leaf veins. Assuming all three loci are independently assorting, use this information to answer the following question: If two F1 offspring are crossed with each other and 1000 F2 are obtained, approximately how many offspring should have orange leaf veins? a. 1000 b. 750 c. 500 d. 250 e.

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. The information below represents two sets of data collected from the above cross.

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.

In corn, seedling color is determined by genes at two loci (C/c and D/d). Suppose that you cross a pure-breeding green seedling with a pure-breeding yellow seedling and obtain only green seedlings in the F1 generation. You then cross two of the F1 seedlings and obtain the following progeny for the F2 generation: 138 green seedlings, 33 virescent-white seedlings, and 10 yellow seedlings. What form of epistasis would explain these data?
