Chapter 1, Problem 2P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The deviation from the ratio of 3:1 in white-purple colored flower.
Introduction. The dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele. Therefore the dominant allele is expressed in homozygous and heterozygous genotype while the recessive

Gray seed color in peas is dominant to white. Assume that Mendel conducted a series of experiments where plants with gray seeds were crossed with each other and the following progeny were produced: 320 gray and 80 white. (a) What is the most probable genotype of each parent? (b) Based on your answer in (a) above, what genotypic and phenotypic ratios are expected in the progeny?
Mendel found that round (R) seed is dominant over wrinkled (r) seed, and yellow (G) seed is
dominant over green (g) seed. The following crosses were made between plants of known
phenotypes but unknown genotypes:
1) round, yellow X round, yellow
2) round, yellow X round, yellow
3) round, yellow X wrinkled, green

In one of Mendel’s dihybrid crosses, he observed315 round, yellow; 108 round, green; 101 wrinkled,yellow; and 32 wrinkled, green F2 plants. Analyze thesedata using the x2 test to see if(a) they fit a 9:3:3:1 ratio.(b) the round:wrinkled data fit a 3:1 ratio.(c) the yellow:green data fit a 3:1 ratio.

- Mendel crossed true-breeding plants with wrinkled and green peas to true breeding plants with round and yellow peas. Then he crossed the Fl plants to true-breeding plants with wrinkled, green peas and observed in the progeny 31 plants with round, yellow peas, 26 plants with round, green peas, 27 plants with wrinkled, yellow peas, and 26 with wrinkled, green peas. a) What proportion of these four phenotypes would be expected? b) Calculate the appropriate chi-square and determine if it is consistent with Mendelian expectations (be sure to indicate the probability range).arrow_forwardWhich of the following is evidence that Mendel had that helped him to construct his Law of Segregation?A) His F2 generation in the dihybrid cross resulted in a 1:1:1:1 distribution of phenotypes.B) He found no linkage of different genes in the offspring of his pea plants.C) The F1 generation of the monohybrid cross resulted in blended phenotypes.D) The F2 generation of the monohybrid cross resulted in the recessive trait reappearing as a phhenotype.E) Two of the above are correct.arrow_forwardRough coat (R) is dominant over smooth coat (r) in guinea pigs, and black coat (B) is dominant over white (b). This pair of contrasting traits obeys both of Mendel’s laws. If a homozygous rough black is mated with a homozygous smooth white, give the appearance of each of the following: F1; F2; offspring of F1 mated with smooth, white parent; offspring of F1mated with rough, black parent.arrow_forward
- What was the second filial (F2) generation in Mendel's experiment?arrow_forwardIn one of his experiments, Mendel crossed homozygous yellow plants with homozygous green plants. The resulting F1 generation was allowed to self-fertilize. The F2 generation produced 930 yellow seeds and 305 green seeds. What are the genotypes of this F2 generation?

All F1 progeny have round and yellow seeds. The F1 plants are self-crossed. The following results are observed in the resultant F2 generation: 65 round and yellow, 42 round and green, 50 wrinkled and yellow, and 45 wrinkled and green.
