In corn plants, a dominant allele Z inhibits kernel color, while the recessive allele z permits color when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant allele X causes purple kernel color, while the homozygous recessive genotype causes red kernel color. If corn plants heterozygous for both the Z and X genes are crossed, what are the chances that the offspring will have purple kernels? Enter your answer as a decimal fraction in the box (e.g. 0.25).
In the Roselle plant, the dominant allele of gene 'A' codes for a pink flower and the recessive form codes for yellow flowers, while the dominant form of gene 'B' codes
for serrated leaves, while the recessive form codes for smooth leaves. If the genes are trans linked, what are the expected genotypes and phenotypes and the
respective ratios when plants heterozygous for both genes are test crossed?
If a cross is made between two plants that are heterozygous for two traits (AaBb), then their offspring should follow the 9:3:3:1 ratio. In this case, A is the dominant allele for purple leaves, and B is the dominant allelle for curly roots. If the two parents were crossed to yield 320 progeny, approximately how many plants with purple leaves and curly roots would you expect?

As part of a lab experiment, you create a two-locus cross between two plants, and you expect to see a 8:4:2:2 ratio of offspring. You determine the phenotype for 160 offspring, and find the proportions 84:38:19:19. If you use a chi-square test to determine whether the offspring do indeed fit this pattern, how many degrees of freedom would the test have?

If a purple-flowered, heterozygous plant were crossed with a white-flowered plant, what is the expected ratio of genotypes and phenotypes among the F1F1offspring? If two of the purple-flowered F1F1 offspring were randomly selected and crossed, what is the expected ratio of genotypes and phenotypes among the F2F2 offspring?arrow_forwardLet us suppose that two plants are crossed (mated). One plant (female) is homozygous dominant and produces chlorophyll, and the other (male) is homozygous recessive and does not produce chlorophyll. These two plants are considered the parental, or P generation. What would be the possible genotypes and phenotypes of these two individuals?

- Colored aleurone in the kernels of corn is due to the dominant allele R. The recessive allele r, when homozygous, produces colorless aleurone. The plant color (not the kernel color) is controlled by another gene with two alleles, Y and y. The dominant Y allele results in green color, whereas the homozygous presence of the recessive y allele causes the plant to appear yellow. In a testcross between a plant of unknown genotype and phenotype and a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits, the following progeny were obtained: colored, green 88 colored, yellow 12 colorless, green 8 colorless, yellow 92 Explain how these results were obtained by determining the exact genotype and phenotype of the unknown plant, including the precise arrangement of the alleles on the homologs.arrow_forwardIn peaches fuzzy skin (F) is completely dominant to smooth, nectarine skin (f). The gland at the base of the leaves is controlled by a separate, unlinked locus.

- A researcher at ASU is studying the exotic Unicorn Fairy plant. The plant has three genes of interest with the dominant alleles being T-tall, H=hairy leaves and P=purple flowers. The three genes are located in different chromosomes. A trihybrid plant is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for T and homozygous recessive for the other two genes. What is the probability of getting offspring that is tall, has hairy leaves and white flowers? 9/64 5/8 8/64 O 3/64 O 3/16arrow_forwardIn a genetic cross between a homozygous tall plant with homozygous purple flowers and a homozygous short plant with heterozygous purple flowers, how many short plants will you expect in the F2 generation if you sample 36 individuals?

A walnut comb is produced when at least one dominant gene R is present at one locus and at least one dominant gene P is present at a second locus (genotype R_ P_). A rose comb is produced when at least one dominant gene is present at the first locus and two recessive genes are present at the second locus (genotype R_ pp). A pea comb is produced when two recessive genes are present at the first locus and at least one dominant gene is present at the second (genotype rr P_). If two recessive genes are present at the first and the second locus (rr pp), a single comb is produced.
