Concept explainers
In pea plants, plant height, seed shape, and seed color are governed by three independently assorting genes. The three genes have dominant and recessive alleles, with tall(T) dominant to short (t), round (R) dominant to wrinkled (r), and yellow (G) dominant to green (g).

- In Mendel’s pea plants, axial (A) flowers are dominant over terminal (a) flowers. a. What is the genotype of a homozygus axial parent plant? b. What is the genotype of a homozygous terminal parent plant? If the parents in (a) and (b) are crossed, what is the genotype and phenotype of the F1? c. Genotype: d. Phenotype: If the F1s are selfed, determine the following: e. F2 genotypes ____________________ __________________________________________ ______________________f. F2 Phenotypes ____________________ __________________________________________ ______________________g. What is the F2 genotypic ratio? h. What is the F2 phenotypic ratio?arrow_forwardIn pea plants, yellow seeds (Y) are dominant to green seeds (y) and round seeds (R) are dominant to wrinkled seeds (). The genes for seed color and seed shape are on different chromosomes. Two true-breeding parents, one with yellow round peas and the other with green wrinkled peas, are crossed to produce a hybrid (heterozygous) F₁. Two F₁ individuals are crossed to give an F2; this is depicted in the Punnett square below. Place the correct genotypes in the Punnett square and the place the correct phenotypic ratios next to their appropriate phenotype on the right.

You cross a true-breeding red-fruited plant with a true-breeding green-fruited plant, and all the F1 offspring are red. You intercross the red F1s, and the resulting F2 generation consists of 61 red-, 13 orange-, and 6 green-fruited plants. a) Assign the phenotypes to a modified 9:3:3:1 ratio (do not just calculate the actual ratio of the phenotypes).

- Two pure-breeding lines of petunia plants are crossed. Line 1 plants grow to a height of 54 cm, and Line 2 plants grow to a height of 18 cm. Petunia plant height is controlled by three genes, A, B and C. Line 1 has the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁, and line 2 has the genotype A2A2B₂B₂C₂C₂. Assume that genotype alone determines plant height under ideal growth conditions and that the alleles of the three genes are additive. If the F1 plants are self crossed, what is the expected proportion of F2 plants with the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁ 1/8 1/32 1/16 1/4 1/64arrow_forwardIn garden pea plants, tall stem height (T) is dominant over short stem height (t), and round seed shape (R) is dominant over wrinkled seed shape (r).A tall, wrinkled seed plant (Ttrr) is crossed with a tall, round seed plant (TtRR). Which row identifies the gametes produced by these plants? Select one: a. Tall wrinkled Tall round Tr and tr TR, Tr, tR, and tr b. Tall wrinkled Tall round Tr and tr TR and tR c. Tall wrinkled Tall round TR and tR Tr and tr d. Tall wrinkled Tall round TR, Tr, tR, and tr TR and tRarrow_forwardIn 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_forward
- In some plants, a true-breeding, red-flowered variety gives all pink flowers when crossed with a white-flowered strain: RR (red) X rr (white) = Rr (pink). Flower position in this plant may either be axial (dominant) or terminal (recessive). What will be the phenotypic ratios of the F1 generation resulting from the following cross: axial-red (true-breeding) X terminal-white? What will the phenotypic ratios of the F2 be? SHOW ALL WORKarrow_forward1) A cross is made between two plants differing in four independently-assorting gene loci, AABBCCDD x aabbccdd, to produce an F, which is then self-fertilized. If the capital letters represent alleles with a completely dominant phenotypic effect, (a) how many different genotypes are possible in the F;? (b) what proportion of the F; will be homozygous dominant for all genes? (c) what proportion of the F; would have an ABCD phenotype? 2) Would your answers to (a), (b), and (c) be different if the initial cross were AAbbCCdd x aaBBccDD?arrow_forwardA snapdragon plant that bred true for white petals was crossed to a plant that bred true for purple petals and all the F1 have white petals. The F1 was selfed. Among the F2 three phenotypes were observed in the following numbers: White--> 240 Solid Purple --> 61 Spotted Purple --> 19 a) Propose the correct genetic explanation for this phenomenon. Define your genetic symbols and show the genotypes of the Parentals, F1, and F2 individuals above. You may use underscores ( _ ) where appropriate. Please clearly label your answer. b) Complete a chi square to defend your answer. Be sure to include chi, Ho and Ha. Do not forget to interpret your test.arrow_forward
