Textbook Question
Chapter 10.1, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? A horticulturalist breeds orchids, trying to obtain a plant with a unique combination of desirable traits. After many years, she finally succeeds. To produce more plants like this one, should she crossbreed it with another plant or clone it? Why?

Onion Genetics
Part 1. We will begin by looking at onion color. Let's arbitrarily assign the letter "R" for color and
say red onions are dominant (R) and white onions are recessive (r).
Cross an individual who is heterozygous with an individual who is homozygous recessive.
1.
What is the genotype of the heterozygous individual?

What is the genotype of the homozygous recessive individual?
Complete the Punnett square using the alleles you just listed.
3. What are the resulting genotypes
and their ratios or %?
4. What are the resulting phenotypes
and their ratios or %?
. A geneticist working on a haploid fungus makes a cross between two slow-growing mutants called mossy and spider (referring to the abnormal appearance of the colonies). Tetrads from the cross are of three types (A, B, C), but two of them contain spores that do not germinate.Devise a model to explain these genetic results, and propose a molecular basis for your model.

- You are a studying the genetic basis of horn color in unicorns. Gene C determines the color of pigment destined for the horn by converting a pink precursor into a purple pigment. C- individuals make purple pigment whereas cc individuals accumulate pink precursor. Gene D ensures the deposition of the pigment into the horn cells, such that D- individuals have a colored horn (purple or pink), whereas dd individuals have a white horn. You breed two purple horned unicorns to each other (CcDd). Assuming Gene C and Gene D are unlinked, what is the probability that the baby unicorn has a purple horn?

You suspect there is selection pressure on the color of the flower: bees seem to cluster around the red flowers more often than the blue flowers. In a separate experiment, you discover blue flower color is dominant to red flower color. In a field, you count 600 blue flowers and 200 red flowers. What would you expect the genetic structure of the flowers to be?arrow_forward
- 1 point Later on, you made a completely new cross. But you cannot remember the genotype from one of the parents. You are sure that one parent was (Ww). You remember your Bio class back in VCU and decided to check the ratios in the plants produced in this cross. If this cross (Ww X??) produced 140 plants, and 105 have purple flowers and 35 have white flowers. Then what is the genotype of the other parental? W=Purple color w=White color W is dominant ООО ww WW Ww You can assume W is dominant and we have complete Dominance with 100% Penetrance and Expressivity.
