Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 5TYU
Flower position, stem length, and seed shape are three characters that Mendel studied. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene and has dominant and recessive expression as indicated in Table 11.1. If a plant that is heterozygous for all three characters is allowed to self-fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would you expect to be as follows? (Note: Use the rules of probability instead of a huge Punnett square.)
- a. homozygous for the three dominant traits
- b. homozygous for the three recessive traits
- c. heterozygous for all three characters
- d. homozygous for axial and tall, heterozygous for seed shape

Mendel crossed peas having round seeds and yellow cotyledons (seed leaves) with peas having wrinkled seeds and green cotyledons. All the F1 plants had round seeds with yellow cotyledons. Diagram this cross through the F2 generation, using both the Punnett square and forked-line, or branch diagram, methods.
Assume that plant height is determined by a pair of alleles at each of two loci (A and a, B and b) that are additive in their effects. Further assume that each allele represented by an uppercase letter contributes 6 feet to height and that each allele represented by a lowercase letter contributes 2 foot to height. If a plant with genotype Aabb is crossed to a plant with genotype aaBb, what heights are expected in the progeny?
1/216ft : 1/2 12ft
1/4 16ft : 1/2 12ft : 1/4 8ft
1/4 20ft : 1/2 16ft : 1/4 12ft
1/4 24ft : 1/2 20ft : 1/4 16ft
1/2 20ft : 1/2 16ft
Mendel crossed pea plants that produced round seeds with those that produced wrinkled seeds. From a total of 7324 F2 seeds, 5474 were round and 1850 were wrinkled. Using the symbols W and w for genes, (a) symbolize the original P cross; (b) the gametes; and (c) F1 progeny, (d) Represent cross between two F1 plants (or one selfed); (e) symbolize the gametes; and (f) summarize the expected F2 results under the headings: phenotypes, genotypes, genotypic frequency, and phenotypic ratio.

- Mendel crossed two Pea plants for plant height and flower color Tall plant (T) is dominant to Short Plant (t). Purple Flower (P) is dominant to white flower (p). Using the following information perform the dihybrid cross using punnett squares that will predict all possible genotypes of the offspring and list the number and description of the phenotypes of the offspring.

- Gregor Mendel examined the inheritance of two traits in pea plants: seed coat texture and colour. Seed coat texture can be represented as S-smooth and s-wrinkled, and seed coat colour can be represented as Y-yellow and y-green. SSYY plants were crossed with ssyy plants to yield F1 pea seeds that were all smooth and all yellow. By crossing plants grown from these F1 seeds, Mendel obtained four different phenotypes of F2 seeds: • smooth and green seeds wrinkled and green seeds smooth and yellow seeds wrinkled and yellow seeds ● Use the following information to answer the next question. ● The F2 phenotypic ratio that Mendel obtained upon crossing two heterozygous smooth and yellow F1 individuals would have been: smooth and green wrinkled and green : smooth and yellow: wrinkled and yellow Record only the numeric values associated with the phenotypes.

- In general terms, genes found on the same chromosome are linked, and will appear to defy Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment. This law states that alleles (Links to an external site.) for different traits (Links to an external site.) are transmitted (Links to an external site.) to offspring (Links to an external site.) independently of one another. Functionally, this means that in a dihybrid testcross, in which a heterozygote is crossed to a double homozygous recessive individual, the expected 1:1:1:1 ratio will not be obtained. Instead, lower than expected numbers of non-parentals will result, because these non-parental flies are the result of recombination during synapsis. Interestingly, and functionally important in this exercise, synapsis only occurs in female fruit flies, requiring that the heterozygote in any study of linkage must be the female. Determining the relative positions of linked genes on a chromosome can be accomplished by calculating the frequency of…arrow_forwardAssume that smooth seed coats are dominant over rough seed coat. If two pea plants that are both Heterozygous for seed coats are crossed, what do you expect in the offspring (the f1 generation)? Specifically, what genotypes, what phenotypes, and in what ratios? (Use S for the smooth seed coat and s for the rough seed coat.) (Again, it is helpful to write out all the possible genotypes and give the phenotype for each genotype before answering the specific question.) Be careful in writing capital S and lower case.arrow_forwardMendel's Law of Independent Assortment refers to [ Select ] In the picture below, what assorts independently from each other?

- Mendel's concept of dominance states that in a genotype where two different alleles of a locus are present, only the trait encoded by the dominant allele is observed. Give a molecular explanation for dominance, i.e. explain intracellular molecular events that can result in what we observe as dominance on a phenotypic level. Use the gene that encodes seed shape in peas as an example, where roun(R) is dominant over wrinkled(r), to explain how RR and Rr plants can have the same phenotype.arrow_forwardMendel found that round (R) seed is dominant over wrinkled (r) seed, and yellow (G) seed is dominant over green (g) seed.
