Summary Introduction
To explain:
Whether the genes for skin color and skin texture in tomatoes are present on the same chromosome or not.
Introduction:
The skin color in tomato is coded by a gene having two alleles. The allele R codes for round fruit and the allele r codes for long fruit. The skin texture in tomatoes is also coded by a gene having two alleles. The allele S codes for smooth skin and the allele s codes for the fuzzy skin.

Tallness (T) in snapdragons is dominant to dwarfness (t), while red (R) flower color is dominant to white (r). The heterozygous condition results in pink (Rr) flower color. A dwarf, red snapdragon is crossed with a plant homozygous for tallness and white flowers. What are the genotype and phenotype of the F1 individuals?
Group of answer choices
A. TtRr–tall and red
B. TtRr–tall and pink
C. ttrr–dwarf and white
D. TTRR–tall and red
E. ttRr–dwarf and pink
In cucumbers, speckled fruit color (u') is dominant to uniform fruit color
(u), and large spines (ss") are dominant to small spines (ss). These two
genes are linked at a map distance of 20.4 m.u.

crossed with a true-breeding plant with uniform fruit color and small
spines.
One of the F1 plants is crossed with a plant with uniform fruit color and
small spines. What percentage of the offspring of this cross are expected
to have uniform fruit color and small spines?
39.8%
10.2%
79.6%

In the garden pea, orange pods (o) are recessive to green pods (+), and sensitivityto pea mosaic virus (v) is recessive to resistance to the virus (+). A plant withorange pods and sensitivity to the virus was crossed to a true-breeding plant withgreen pods and resistance to the virus. The F1 progeny were then test-crossed toplants with orange pods and sensitivity to the virus with the following results:160 orange pods, virus sensitive 36 orange pods, virus resistant165 green pods, virus resistant 39 green pods, virus sensitive

- The table below shows the results of different crosses between jimsonweed plants that had either purple or white flowers and spiny or smooth pods.arrow_forwardIn tomatoes, regular leaves (L) are multilobed and serrated and potato leaves (l) are broad, smooth, and single (Image 1). Red fruit (F) is dominant to yellow fruit (f). A cross is carried out between two pure lines of tomato plants, one having regular leaves and red fruit and the other having potato leaves and yellow fruit. The F1 generation all have regular leaves and red fruit. The F1 individuals are then crossed with one another. Complete a Punnett square to determine the expected F2 progeny on the basis of Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment, which states that the alleles for one gene segregate independently of the alleles for other genes during gamete formation.arrow_forwardA type of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) produces fruit in three possible colors: red, green, and orange. You cross a true-breeding orange-fruited plant with a true-breeding green-fruited plant, and all the F1 offspring are red. You intercross the red F1s, and the resulting F2 generation consists of 108 red-, 40 orange-, and 44 green-fruited plants. 1) What type of epistasis is acting (dominant, recessive, duplicate dominant, or duplicate recessive)? 2) Assign the phenotypes to a modified 9:3:3:1 ratio. (Do not just calculate the actual ratio of the phenotypes.) Red : _____Orange : _____Green: _____arrow_forward
- In corn, a triple heterozygote was obtained carrying themutant alleles s (shrunken), w (white aleurone), andy (waxy endosperm), all paired with their normal wildtype alleles. This triple heterozygote was testcrossed, andthe progeny contained 116 shrunken, white; 4 fully wildtype; 2538 shrunken; 601 shrunken, waxy; 626 white;2708 white, waxy; 2 shrunken, white, waxy; and 113 waxy.a. Determine if any of these three loci are linked and,if so, show map distances.b. Show the allele arrangement on the chromosomesof the triple heterozygote used in the testcross.c. Calculate interference, if appropriate.arrow_forwardA pure breeding strain of squash that produced disk-shaped fruits was crossed with a pure- breeding strain having long fruits. The first filial generation had disk fruits, but the second filial generation showed a new phenotype, sphere, and was composed of the following proportions: disk 270, sphere 178, long 32. Propose an explanation for these results, and show the genotypes of P, First filial generation and second filial generation.arrow_forwardIn the garden pea, orange pods (o) are recessive to green pods (+), and sensitivity to pea mosaic virus (v) is recessive to resistance to the virus (+). A plant with orange pods and sensitivity to the virus was crossed to a true-breeding plant with green pods and resistance to the virus. The F1 progeny were then test-crossed to plants with orange pods and sensitivity to the virus with the following results: 160 orange pods, virus sensitive 36 orange pods, virus resistant 165 green pods, virus resistant 39 green pods, virus sensitive A goodness of fit analysis for the operative genetic mechanism behind these obtained results will result to a X2 value of ____ which is (below, above) the alpha value, and interpreted as (significant, not significant). Hence the hypothesis that the data is due to (dihybrid self-cross, linkage, epistasis) is (accepted, not accepted). Express answer in decimal form. Significant # of decimal…arrow_forward
