Chapter 11, Problem 15TYU

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

(a) All the possible genotype of mystery pea plant. (b) The cross that can be done to determine the exact genotype.(c) The way in which prediction can be done for the possible genotype and why that method is not called performing a cross. (d) The way in which the result of the cross and the prediction will help in determining the genotype of the mystery plant.

Introduction:

Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism based on single or multiple traits. It helps in deciphering the type of progeny that would be observed in the future generations. The genotype determines the phenotype of the organism and there can be dominant and recessive genes in the genotype. Dominant genes are those genes that are expressed in the heterozygous state and the recessive genes are those that are not expressed in the heterozygous state.

To determine: All the possible genotype of a mystery pea plant.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The cross that can be done to determine the exact genotype.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The way in which prediction can be done for the possible genotype and why that method is not called “performing a cross”.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The way in which the result of the cross and the prediction will help in determining the genotype of the mystery plant.
