Two genes, m (apical meristem) and r (starburst rhizosomes), are linked on chromosome #5 in pea plants.
Both genes are recessive to wild type and found to be 8 MU apart. If a wild type heterozygote is test-
crossed, and produces 91 apical meristem plants and 8 apical, starburst plants from a total of 200 plants were
produced, how many wild type plants will be produced?

In Figure 4-6, why does the diagram not show meiosesin which two crossovers occur between the same twochromatids (such as the two inner ones)?
In barley, a self-fertilizing species that can be cross-fertilized, two true-breeding strains with virescent leaves occur. In strain A, the trait is caused by a cytoplasmic gene while in strain B it is by a recessive chromosomal gene. What phenotypes would you expect among the progeny, and in what proportions in each of the following? Illustrate your crosses below, indicate and the female and male parent for each cross, and write the phenotype of all the parents and offspring(s).

- In barley, a self-fertilizing species that can be cross-fertilized, two true-breeding strains with virescent leaves occur. In strain A, the trait is caused by a cytoplasmic gene while in strain B it is by a recessive chromosomal gene. What phenotypes would you expect among the progeny, and in what proportions in each of the following? Illustrate your crosses below, indicate and the female and male parent for each cross, and write the phenotype of all the parents and offspring(s). a. reciprocal crosses between A and Barrow_forwardA type of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) produces fruit in three possible colors: red, green, and orange. You cross a true-breeding orange-fruited plant with a true-breeding green-fruited plant, and all the F1 offspring are red. You intercross the red F1s, and the resulting F2 generation consists of 108 red-, 40 orange-, and 44 green-fruited plants. 1) What type of epistasis is acting (dominant, recessive, duplicate dominant, or duplicate recessive)? 2) Assign the phenotypes to a modified 9:3:3:1 ratio. (Do not just calculate the actual ratio of the phenotypes.) Red : _____Orange : _____Green: _____arrow_forwardOne strain of periwinkleplants has green leaves and another strain has white leaves. Bothstrains are true-breeding. You do not know if the phenotypicdifference is due to alleles of a nuclear gene or an organellar gene.The two strains were analyzed using reciprocal crosses, and thefollowing results were obtained:A plant with green leaves is pollinated by a plant with whiteleaves: all offspring have green leaves.A plant with white leaves is pollinated by a plant with greenleaves: all offspring have white leaves. Is this pattern of inheritance consistent with simple Mendelianinheritance, where green is dominant to white, and/or is it consistentwith maternal inheritance?arrow_forward
- In tomatoes, red fruit is dominant to yellow fruit, and purple stems are dominant to green stems. Thegenes encoding these traits are on different homologous chromosomes. The progeny from a matingconsisted of 305 red fruit, purple stem plants; 328 red fruit, green stem plants; 110 yellow fruit,purple stem plants; and 97 yellow fruit, green stem plants. What would be the genotypic and phenotypic outcome if each parent was self-fertilized?arrow_forwardA female of genotype a b c + + + produces 100 meiotic tetrads. Of these, 68 show no crossover events. Of the remaining 32, 20 show a crossover between a and b, 10 show a crossover between b and c, and 2 show a double crossover between a and b and between b and c. Of the 400 gametes produced, how many of each of the 8 different genotypes will be produced? Assuming the order a–b–c and the allele arrangement previously shown, what is the map distance between these loci?arrow_forwardIn a variety of tomato plant ,the leaves maybe pure green,pure white,or variegated (mixture). a)when 2 variegated plants were crossed,87 offspring were produced,of these 20 were green,46 were variegated and 21 remain died soon after germination.Draw a genetic diagram to explain these results,why did 21 of them diedarrow_forward
- Two pure-breeding strains of flies are mated, and the F1 are intercrossed. The first strain has curled wings and black bodies. The second strain has straight wings and brown bodies. The F2 progeny are 271 straight wings with brown bodies, 31 curled wings with black bodies, 94 curled wings with brown bodies and 90 straight wings with black bodies. If the F1 were backcrossed to the straight, wing brown bodied parent, what phenotypes would be produced among the progeny? What would be the proportion of each phenotype?arrow_forwardRenner carried out reciprocal crosses between two types of the evening primrose, Oenothera hookeri and O. muricata, known to have the same chromosome constitution. When the seed parent was O. hookeri, the plastids of the progeny were yellow; but when the seed parent was O. muricata, the plastids of the progeny were green. How might this difference in the results of reciprocal crosses be explained?arrow_forwardIn a certain species of plant, a dihybrid (round, pink seeds) is mated with a test-cross strain (wrinkled, white seeds). The following progeny are obtained: round, pink – 440 round, white – 76 wrinkled, pink - 84 wrinkled, white - 400 What is the distance (in map units) between the two genes in question? Your answer should be a single whole number between 0 and 50. Choose 50 if you think the genes are not linked.arrow_forward
