Chapter 11, Problem 10TYU
A walnut comb rooster is mated to three hens. Hen A, which has a walnut comb, has offspring in the ratio of 3 walnut to 1 rose. Hen B, which has a pea comb, has offspring in the ratio of 3 walnut to 3 pea to 1 rose to 1 single. Hen C, which has a walnut comb, has only walnut comb offspring. What are the genotypes of the rooster and the three hens?

- Purple (P) flower color is dominant to white (p) flower color. Cross two heterozygous parents using a Punnett square. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the resulting offspring? Express the results as ratios.arrow_forwardA class of students mated fruit flies to study the inheritance of traits. The crosses and their results are described below. Cross 1: A female fruit fly with red eyes mates with a male fruit fly with brown eyes producing 63 offspring. All 63 offspring in this first generation have red eyes. Cross 3: A female fruit fly with black and tan striped body color mates with a male with black body color. In this first generation, al 56 offspring have black and tan striped body color. Cross 2: A red-eyed male and a red- eyed female from the first-generation mate to produce a second generation of flies. Out of the 98 offspring produced, 74 have red eyes and 24 have brown eyes. Cross 4: A black and tan striped male and a black and tan striped female from the first-generation mate to produce a second generation of flies. Out of the 103 offspring, 76 have black and tan striped body color and 27 have black body color.
