GENETIC ANALYSIS: AN INTEG. APP. W/MAS
- Consider the following cross examining four gene in two parental line: Parent 1: A/a; B/B; D/d; E/e Parent 2: A/a; B/b; d/d; e/e Assuming independent assortment for the four genes, what fraction of progeny will be phenotypically identical to either parent 1 or parent 2? (Hint: first figure out the fraction of progeny that resembles parent 1 and parent 2 separately, then get the overall fraction.) 3/8 3/4 3/16 1/16 9/16arrow_forwardIf an allotetraploid species is made up of two ancestral genomes, A and B, with each of them having a basic chromosome number of seven. The resistance to the pathogen attacking the foliage of plants is controlled by a dominant allele located at the F locus. The recessive alleles F^a and F^b show sensitivity to the pathogen. Plants with at least on F^A allele are resistant to the pathotype 1 and 2 (regardless of the genotype in B genome), and plants with at least one F^B allele are resistant to pathotypes 1 and 3 (regardless of genotype in A genome). What proprtion of the self-progeny of F^AF^a F^BF^b plant will be resistant to pathotype 1, 2 and 3?arrow_forwardThe shape of a pumpkin is determined by the action of two genes A and B. The recessive forms of these two alleles produces a flattened-shaped fruit, whereas the dominant forms of these two alleles produce the typical pumpkin with ridges. When both alleles are heterozygous a disc-shaped pumpkin is produced. If the genotype of the pumpkin plant is homozygous dominant at one allele and heterozygous at the other, the pumpkin will be ball-shaped. If the pumpkin plant is homozygous recessive at one allele and heterozygous at the other allele it produces an oblong-shaped fruit. Plants with genotypes other than the ones listed in this question do not produce pumpkins. Do the following cross: two pumpkin plants capable of making disc-shaped pumpkins are crossed with each other. Based on this cross, answer the following: (Show your work below.) How many of the progeny will make ball-shaped pumpkins?__________________________________________ How many of the progeny will make disc-shaped…arrow_forward
- In sesame plants the one-pod condition is dominant (P) to the three-pod condition (p), and a normal leaf (L) is dominant to the wrinkled leaf (l). Pod type and leaf type are inherited independently. Determine the genotypes from the following for the parent producing offspring: 318 one-pod, normal leaf and 98 one-pod, wrinkled leaf: PPLl x PPLl, PPLl x PpLl, or PPLl x ppLl ppll x ppLl PPLL x PPLL ppll x ppllarrow_forwardIn humans, "unattached" earlobes are dominant over "attached" earlobes. "Widows peak" hairline is dominant over "non-widows peak" hairline. Use E and e for the earlobe phenotype alleles, and W and w for the hairline phenotype alleles. A female and a male, both with genotype EeWw have a child. What is the probability it will be a boy, and have attached earlobes and a widows peak hairline?arrow_forwardTallness (T) in a certain plant is dominant to short (t), while red (R) flower color is dominant to yellow (r). The heterozygous condition results in orange (Rr) flower color. A short plant with red flowers, is crossed with a plant homozygous for tallness and yellow flowers. What would be the genotype and phenotype of the F1 individuals? ttRr—short and orange ttrr—short and yellow TtRr—tall and red Ttrr—tall and yellow TtRr—tall and orangearrow_forward
- In peaches fuzzy skin (F) is completely dominant to smooth, nectarine skin (f). The gland at the base of the leaves is controlled by a separate, unlinked locus. The gland in heterozygotes is round, while homozygotes with the Go allele have oval glands, and homozygotes with the the GN allele have no glands. A homozygous fuzzy, no-gland peach variety is bred to a smooth, oval-gland variety. The F1 offspring are interbred to produce the F2 generation. What fraction of the F2 offspring will be smooth with round glands? A) 3/16 B) 7/16 C) 4/16 D) 6/16 E) 9/16 F) 2/16 G) 12/16 H) 1/16arrow_forwardDominant and recessive alleles of a gene in garden peas, G and g, cause seeds to be yellow and green, respectively. Dominant and recessive alleles, F and f, of another gene cause seeds to be spotted or not with violet color, respectively. A plant of genotype GGFF is crossed with a plant of genotype ggff, and the F1 are allowed to self-fertilize. The phenotypes and numbers of F2 progeny are shown below: Phenotype of F2 Number yellow, spotted 89 green, spotted 31 yellow, not spotted 29 green, not spotted 11 Are the G,g and F,f genes linked?arrow_forwardIn horses, two different genes affect the coat. One gene which codes for coat colour has 2 codominant alleles for Brown and White colour coat. The heterozygous form exhibits a tan colour. The second gene codes for presence of hair with hairy (dominant) and hairless (recessive). If the female has tan hairless coat and the male has brown colour and is heterozygous for haired coat, what are the probabilities of the different offsprings they may have?arrow_forward
- Pea PlantsIn pea plants, a round-seed shape (R) is dominant over a wrinkled-seed shape (r). A round-seeded pea plant was crossed with another round-seeded pea plant. What are the genotype(s) and phenotype(s) ratios of the F1 generation? Show all possibilities using Punnett squares. State the F1 generation genotypes and phenotypes.arrow_forwardMendel'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_forwardSeed color is controlled by 3 independently assorting bi-allelic genes (P, Q, R), such that homozygote pp exhibits recessive epistasis over the seed color pathway, converting a white pigment into yellow, which then becomes orange in the presence of a Q allele, or red in the presence of R. Individuals with both Q and R alleles show pink seeds. In a cross of PpQqRr individuals with ppqqrr individuals, what is the ratio of white-seeds to red seeds? а. 1:4 b. 2:3 с. 1:1 d. 4:1 e. 1:5arrow_forward
