You experiment with the genetics of height in a plant. You cross a homozygous tall (TT) plant with a homozygous short (tt) plant. Describe what the genotype and phenotype of the F1 progeny would look like if the plants exhibited complete dominance. Now describe the expected results if the trait exhibited incomplete dominance. What about the F2 progeny, assuming you crossed the F1 progeny with each other?

A researcher crosses two white-flowered lines ofAntirrhinum plants as follows and obtains the followingresults:pure line 1 × pure line 2↓F1 all whiteF1 × F1↓F2 131 white29 reda. Deduce the inheritance of these phenotypes; useclearly defined gene symbols. Give the genotypes ofthe parents, F1, and F2.b. Predict the outcome of crosses of the F1 with eachparental line.
Two true breeding plants are cross pollinated. One plant is homozygous dominant for heightand color while the other is homozygous recessive for height and color. (A:tall, a:short, B:brown,b:red) The F1 plants are allowed to self-fertilize to produce an F2 generation. After conductingan experiment we get the following results:398 tall and brown plants122 tall and red plants128 short and brown plants45 short and red plants Using the Chi Square formula and table, determine if your results support the hypothesis ofindependent assortment or not. Show your work. You don’t need to show your Punnett Squaresif you include a statement as to how you figured out the appropriate phenotypic ratio for the F2generation. Round to 1 decimal.4a.

In the rare rainbow rose, it has been shown that flower color is controlled by 2 genes. No one knows how the 2 genes are related and several hypotheses have emerged to explain how they interact to produce flowers with purple, yellow, and green pedals. You cross purple and green flowering plants, and find that F1 are all yellow colored. You allow F1 to self-fertilize and this produces 222 purple, 222 yellow and 222 green flowers. The 2 most popular theories are: a co-dominance relationship or an epistatic relationship between the 2 genes. Your team deduces that if co-dominance should result in 216 purple, 220 yellow and 230 green. Where as, an epistatic relationship should result in 250 purple, 200 yellow, and 216 green. 1-Which hypothesis is correct? a- Co-dominace b- Epistatic and The odds the theory you selected is correct is (less or greater) than (10%,25%,50%,90%)
In a plant, stems can appear fuzzy or smooth. The allele for fuzzy (F) is dominant. These plants can also have blue (B-) or white flowers. White is the recessive trait. A cross was made between plants heterozygous for both traits. You observed 290 blue fuzzy, 80 blue smooth, 70 white fuzzy, and 40 white smooth plants. Are your observations consistent with your expectations?
In peas, tallness is dominant over dwarfness, and red colour of flowers is dominant over the white colour. When a tall plant bearing red flowers was pollinated by a dwarf plant bearing white flowers, the different phenotypic groups were obtained in the progeny in numbers mentioned against them. Tall, Red = 138 Tall, White = 132 Dwarf, Red = 136 Dwarf, White = 128 %3D Mention the genotypes of the two parents and of the types of four offspring.
Suppose a purple flower heterozygous for stem size is crossed with a large stem (dominant) purple flower. What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring?

Imagine you are given two tall plants, but you do not know their genotype (see Figure 16-12). There are three possibilities—they might both be TT or both Tt or one TT and the other Tt. Imagine you cross the two plants, wait for them to produce seeds, and then plant the seeds. If all resulting plants are tall, can you then determine what the genotypes of the two parents are? If approximately half the resulting plants are tall and about half are short, can you then figure out the genotypes of the parents?
In snapdragons, red flower color is incompletely dominant to white flower color. Tall is completely dominant to short. You cross a true breeding red-flowered tall plant to a true breeding white-flowered short plant. You cross the F1 offspring to each other. In the F2, what is the probability of offspring that are white-flowered and tall?
The best way to determine the genotype for a plant presenting with dominant phenotypes is by performing a test cross. Test crosses are always performed with a true-breeding plant with recessive traits. What would be the phenotype and genotype of the plant you would need to perform the test-cross with your tall, purple plant?After performing the test-cross with your unknown purple, tall plant you find that all your resulting plants are tall; half have white flowers, and half have purple flowers. What was the genotype of your original purple, tall plant?
A student observes corn to analyze the outcome of two genes-- The Red gene (R or r) where purple (R) is dominant to yellow (r) and the Sugar gene (S or s) where smooth (S) is dominant to wrinkled (s). The student predicts the parent’s genotypes are RrSs and rrss. How many possible gametes would be formed by each parent? Parent 1 would have 2 gamete combinations and Parent 2 would have 2 gamete combinations Parent 1 would have 4 gamete combinations and Parent 2 would have 2 gamete combination Parent 1 would have 4 gamete combinations and Parent 2 would have 1 gamete combination Parent 1 would have 4 gamete combinations and Parent 2 would have 4 gamete combination
When traits show complete dominance, the genotype can be revealed by a test cross. In the example of tall and dwarf plants (Figure) why is it necessary to use the dwarf parent? In general, why is it necessary to use a parent that is homozygous recessive?
