. In Figure 2-17, how does the 3:1 ratio in the bottom-lefthand grid differ from the 3:1 ratios obtained by Mendel?
Gray seed color in peas is dominant to white. Assume that Mendel conducted a series of experiments where plants with gray seeds were crossed with each other and the following progeny were produced: 320 gray and 80 white. (a) What is the most probable genotype of each parent? (b) Based on your answer in (a) above, what genotypic and phenotypic ratios are expected in the progeny?
In the results that Mendel obtained, the violet colored flower was dominant to the white flower (which was recessive). What do these terms (dominant and recessive) mean?

- Mendel crossed true-breeding plants with wrinkled and green peas to true breeding plants with round and yellow peas. Then he crossed the Fl plants to true-breeding plants with wrinkled, green peas and observed in the progeny 31 plants with round, yellow peas, 26 plants with round, green peas, 27 plants with wrinkled, yellow peas, and 26 with wrinkled, green peas. a) What proportion of these four phenotypes would be expected? b) Calculate the appropriate chi-square and determine if it is consistent with Mendelian expectations (be sure to indicate the probability range).arrow_forwardQ6. Guinea pigs, which were homozygous for long, black hair were crossed with ones which were homozygous for short, white hair. All the F1 offspring had short, black hair.

(b) Complete the Punnett square to show the results of interbreeding the F1 offspring. Gametesarrow_forwardRough coat (R) is dominant over smooth coat (r) in guinea pigs, and black coat (B) is dominant over white (b). This pair of contrasting traits obeys both of Mendel’s laws. If a homozygous rough black is mated with a homozygous smooth white, give the appearance of each of the following: F1; F2; offspring of F1 mated with smooth, white parent; offspring of F1mated with rough, black parent.arrow_forward
