n pea plants, the appearance of flowers along the main stem is a dominant phenotype
called axial and is controlled by the T allele. The recessive phenotype, produced by the
E t allele, has flowers only at the end of the stem and is called terminal. Seedpod form iS
determined by a second gene. The dominant phenotype inflated is controlled by allele
C, and a recessive constricted form, produced by allele c.
A pure breeding axial, constricted plant is crossed to one that is pure-breeding terminal,
inflated.
A. The F1 progeny of this cross are allowed to self-fertilize. What is the expected
distribution of phenotypic classes among the F2 progeny?

Colored aleurone in the kernels of corn is due to the dominant allele R. The recessive allele r, when homozygous, produces colorless aleurone. The plant color (not the kernel color) is controlled by another gene with two alleles, Y and y. The dominant Y allele results in green color, whereas the homozygous presence of the recessive y allele causes the plant to appear yellow. In a testcross between a plant of unknown genotype and phenotype and a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits, the following progeny were obtained: colored, green 88 colored, yellow 12 colorless, green 8 colorless, yellow 92 Explain how these results were obtained by determining the exact genotype and phenotype of the unknown plant, including the precise arrangement of the alleles on the homologs.
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.)

- If 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_forwardIn 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).

- In a certain plant, the dominant form of gene B codes for blue fruit, while the recessive form results in pink fruit. The dominant form of another gene, E, inhibits the activity of the enzyme coded for by gene B, resulting in white fruit, while the recessive form is unable to inhibit this enzyme and results in colored (i.e., blue or pink) fruit. A doubly-homozygous dominant white-fruited plant is crossed with a pink-fruited plant. The F1 progeny were then self-crossed to generate the F2 generation. Determine the ratios of genotypes and phenotypes for each generation.arrow_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.

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).

- 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?

- In 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_forwardPea 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_forward
