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
To determine: All the possible genotype of a mystery pea plant.
(b)
To determine:
The cross that can be done to determine the exact genotype.
(c)
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)
To determine:
The way in which the result of the cross and the prediction will help in determining the genotype of the mystery plant.

- Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusionarrow_forwardFigure 8.10 In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white (p), and yellow peas (Y) are dominant to green (y). What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes for a cross between PpYY and ppYy pea plants? How many squares would you need to complete a Punnett square analysis of this cross?arrow_forwardwhat is the answer to this question with solution of a punnet squarearrow_forward
- 1) Interpret the value of the interference. 2) Map the genes.arrow_forwardSCIENTIFIC INQUIRY You are handed a mystery pea plantwith tall stems and axial flowers and asked to determine itsgenotype as quickly as possible. You know that the allele fortall stems (T) is dominant to that for dwarf stems (t) and thatthe allele for axial flowers (A) is dominant to that for terminalflowers (a).(a) Identify all the possible genotypes for your mystery plant.(b) Describe the one cross you would do, out in your garden,to determine the exact genotype of your mystery plant.(c) While waiting for the results of your cross, you predict theresults for each possible genotype listed in part a. Explainhow you do this and why this is not called “performinga cross.”(d) Explain how the results of your cross and your predictions will help you learn the genotype of your mysteryplant.arrow_forwardLinkage and Gene Mappingarrow_forward

The numbers of chromosomes in the somatic cells ofseveral oat varieties (Avena species) are: sand oats(Avena strigosa)—14; slender wild oats (Avenabarata)—28; and cultivated oats (Avena sativa)—42.a. What is the basic chromosome number (x) in Avena?b. What is the ploidy for each of the different species?c. What is the number of chromosomes in the gametesproduced by each of these oat varieties?d.

- For practice construct a Genetic map with three genes in Arabidopsis plants. A short plant (hy) is recessive to tall plant (HY), a red flower (r) is recessive to white flower (R); and long pollen (po) is recessive to oval shaped pollen (PO). You can come up with arbitrary number of progenies for each class of offspring (follow the numbers like in Fig. 7.14) ( please help, I dont understand what/how to do this)arrow_forwardCompute for: DCO expected coefficient of coincidence interferencearrow_forwardSolve this problem using a punnett square. Problem: The trait for stem length in plant Z is controlled by 3 pairs of genes. Assume that stem length in a plant is controlled by three gene pairs and that each additive allele contributes 15 cm to a base stem length of 10 cm. a. What is the height of an AaBbCC plant? b. Predict the phenotypic ratio of Fl plants in a cross between AaBbcc and AaBBcc. c. Base your answer in "letter b". If the genotypes in Fl plants that gives rise to 70cm and 25cm stem length are crossed, list all the genotypes that give rise to plants (F2) that have a stem length of 55 cm and 40 cm, respectively.arrow_forward
