You have some corn plants and are interested in analyzing the inheritance of corn color (yellow vs blue) and have pure breeding strains. What is the first thing you should try do? do crosses to figure out if the trait shows dominance, incomplete dominance, sex linkage, etc. do a cross to see which color is dominant assume that blue is dominant to yellow and start doing crosses assume that yellow is dominant to blue and start doing crosses

You are practicing geneticist who is studying flower color in sweet peas. Wild type sweet pea flowers are purple, however you obtain two different white flowered sweet pea plants from two different breeders. When you cross the plants together they produce plants with purple flowers What can be said about the white flower alleles in the two sweet pea plants? Select ALL that apply. They occur in different genes They occur in the same gene They complement each other They do not complement each other They are epistatic. They are pleiotropic.
Which of the following is NOT required for adaptations to evolve? Heritable variation in fitness Genetic diversity within populations Sexual reproduction Natural selection Question 2
In MONSTERS having TEETH (T) is DOMINANT and NO TEETH (t) is RECESSIVEYou have a monster with teeth and would like to breed it to start a monster theme park. Monsters without teeth are more costly to care for because they need special food and they aren’t scary enough to work in your park, so you want to make sure you produce only monsters WITH TEETH.Tell the genotype of the monster you should use to do a test cross with your toothed monster. ________What is its PHENOTYPE? ____ _______________Show the results of test crossing BOTH OF THESE POSSIBLE PARENT GENOTYPES:
You have a true-breeding singing pea plant that you cross to a true-breeding quiet plant. All of the F1 plants sing beautiful songs. Decide which allele is dominant, which is recessive and name them: Allele name Dominant/recessive Associated trait Singing Quiet
A cross is made between two plants with five independently assorting genes. SHOW YOUR WORK AA Bb Dd Ee hh X Aa Bb Dd ee Hh What is the probability of obtaining a plant with the genotype AA BB Dd ee Hh?
You cross a pea plant with the genotype AaBbCcDd with a pea plant that is AABbCCdd. What is the probability that you get an offspring with the genotype AaB_C_dd? Show your work
Short is recessive to tall. Green pods are dominant to yellow as inflated pods are dominant to constricted pods. A pure-bred tall plant with green and inflated pods is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for all of the traits. Calculate the probability of getting a plant seedling that is recessive for all of the traits. What is the probability of getting a tall plant with green and inflated pods?
A farmer is interested in an interesting colour in his lilies. Colour in lilies is controlled by a single autosomal gene (Gene H) with two alleles. The H-allele results in a purple flower, while the recessive allele results in a white flower. The farmer has a plant that has purple flowers. Can you suggest how the farmer can determine the genotype (HH or Hh) of his purple flowered plant in a single cross? Describe this cross and provide details on how you would interpret the results.
If you do a di-hybrid cross and end up with 160 plants, how many would you expect to have both dominant phenotypes? Group of answer choices 100 90 30 65
You have three different pure-breeding strains of the same flowering plant species. Strain f has purple flowers, while strains g and h have white flowers. The F2 is a result of allowing the F1 the self fertilize. Parental Cross F1 phenotypes F2 phenotype ratios f (purple) x f (purple) 100% purple 100% purple g (white) x g (white) 100% white 100% white h (white) x h (white) 100% white 100% white f (purple) x g (white) 100% purple 3 p : 1 w f (purple) x h (white) 100% purple 3 p : 1 w g (white) x h (white) 100% purple 9 p : 7 w Complementation occurred in which cross? The F2 data are best explained by which model?
You are a biologist studying the local butterfly population. You've discovered 4 white (albino) butterflies. You mated each one with a wildtype butterfly and kept the lines separately. After several generations of back crosses, you've managed to create 4 lines of white butterflies. How can you tell if they represent mutations in the same gene or different genes? What crosses would you do? What results would you expect? (using complementation analysis).
In the Pea plants studied by Gregor Mendel, green pod colour is dominant over yellow pod colour. You have grown the same species in your garden and the plant is producing only green pods. You were guaranteed by the garden store that it was homozygous (pure-breeding) but you are not completely sure. Show how you can find out.
