Question

Solve this problem using a punnett square.

Problem:

             The trait for stem length in plant Z is controlled by 3 pairs of genes. Assume that stem length in a plant is controlled by three gene pairs and that each additive allele contributes 15 cm to a base stem length of 10 cm.

a. What is the height of an AaBbCC plant?

b. Predict the phenotypic ratio of Fl plants in a cross between AaBbcc and AaBBcc.

c. Base your answer in "letter b". If the genotypes in Fl plants that gives rise to 70cm and 25cm stem length are crossed, list all the genotypes that give rise to plants (F2) that have a stem length of 55 cm and 40 cm, respectively.
