Summary Introduction

To explain: The expected ratio of offspring, if a heterozygous Pp plant was crossed with a homozygous recessive pp plant.

Introduction:

A single trait (monohybrid) cross includes the cross in a plant like a pea where the trait is chosen as “dominant one” includes the purple color of the flower depicted as P and the “recessive trait” includes the white color of the flower depicted by p.

The results of a test cross of a plant that is heterozygous for three traits encoded by the genes D, R, and Q are summarized in the table (below), which shows the numbers of offspring that inherited each combination of alleles from the heterozygous parent. Use the data collected to make a genetic map of genes D, R, and Q. Make a map of the distance between these three genes. Report your results by entering the genetic distance between each pair of genes to the nearest 0.1 cM in the blanks below.

Height among red stalk plants is divided into tall, medium and short. From tests, scientists know it is governed by two alleles of the same gene. It is known that tall plants and short plants are homozygous. What is the genotype of the medium plant? Explain your reasoning in one to two sentences. A cross between a medium plant and a tall plant occurs. What would be the genotypes? Show your work/explain your reasoning. Can medium plants be true breeding (i.e. be bred with other medium plants to ALWAYS produce medium plants)? Explain your reasoning. étv MacBook Pro %23 $ & * 3 4 5 7 8. T Y D F H. J
