Height among red stalk plants is divided into tall, medium and short. From tests, scientists know it is governed by two alleles of the same gene. It is known that tall plants and short plants are homozygous. What is the genotype of the medium plant? Explain your reasoning in one to two sentences. A cross between a medium plant and a tall plant occurs. What would be the genotypes? Show your work/explain your reasoning.

Consider the following hypothetical gene a plant.Gene T produces a protein that impacts stem length.There are two alleles for gene T, T which produces long stems and t which results in short stems. Assume that gene T displays complete dominance, what would be the genotypes (written as two letters-your answer will be case sensitive) that correspond to- homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive and heterozygous. and the phenotypes (what trait will be observed in the plant) for each of the genotypes.
Three gene pairs located on separate autosomes determine flower color and shape as well as plant height. The first pair exhibits incomplete dominance, where the color can be red, pink (the heterozygote), or white. The second pair leads to personate (dominant) or peloric (recessive) flower shape, while the third gene pair produces either the dominant tall trait or the recessive dwarf trait. Homozygous plants that are red, personate, and tall are crossed to those that are white, peloric, and dwarf. Determine the F1 genotype(s) and phenotype(s). If the F1 plants are interbred, what proportion of the offspring will exhibit the same phenotype as the F1 plants?
Waxy endosperm (wx), shrunken endosperm (sh) and yellow seedling (v) are encoded by three recessive genes in corn that are linked on chromosome 5. A corn plant homozygous for all three recessive alleles is crossed with a plant homozygous for all the dominant alleles. The resulting F1 are then crossed with a plant homozygous for the recessive alleles in a three point test cross. The progeny of the test cross are: wx sh WX SH V WX SH V Wx sh WX sh V SH v SH V V 87 1,515 94 WX 1,531 3,479 292 WX Wx sh v 3,478 280 a. Determine the order of the genes on the chromosome. b.

Gene S controls the sharpness of spines in a type of cactus. Cactuses with the dominant allele have sharp spines, whereas homozygous recessive cactuses have dull spines. At the same time, a second gene, N, determines whether or not cactuses have long or short spines. Homozygous recessive cactuses have short spines. A cross between a homozygous sharp-long cactus and a dull short-spined cactus would produce what percentage of sharp-long cacti?
