a. 1 dominant allele will contribute 120/10 = 12 cm to the base height of the plant.b. The height of the parent plant 1
Genotype of the parent plant 1 – D1D1D2D2D3D3d4d4d5d5
The height of the parent plant 2
Genotype of the parent plant 2 – d1d1d2d2d3d3D4D4D5D5Contributing alleles – D4D4D5D5. The height of the plant without any contributing alleles would be 80 cm. The plant with genotype d1d1d2d2d3d3D4D4D5D5 has 4 contributing allele each of which contributes 12 cm to the base. Hence, the height of the plant with genotype d1d1d2d2d3d3D4D4D5D5 would be 80 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 128 cm.
c. Parents – D1D1D2D2D3D3d4d4d5d5 × d1d1d2d2d3d3D4D4D5D5
Gametes – D1D2D3d4d5 × d1d2d3D4D5
F1 generation – D1d1D2d2D3d3D4d4D5d5
The height of the plants of F1 generation = 80 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 140 cm
Hence,
Genotype of the F1 = D1d1D2d2D3d3D4d4D5d5

Use the figure and the following description to answer the question(s) below.
In a particular plant, leaf color is controlled by gene locus D. Plants with at least one allele D have dark green leaves, and plants with the
homozygous recessive dd genotype have light green leaves. A true- breeding, dark- leaved plant is crossed with a light- leaved one, and the
F1 offspring is allowed to self- pollinate. The predicted outcome of the F2 is diagrammed in the Punnett square shown in the figure, where 1,2,3,
and 4 represent the genotypes corresponding to each box within the square.

- The genes for tall vine D and yellow seed G, are dominant over their respective alleles for dwarf d and green g. What phenotypes are expected from each of the following crosses? Include phenotypic and genotypic ratio. Use Punnet square to show the ff. Crosses. a. Heterozygous tall, homozygous yellow X Homozygous Tall, heterozygous yellow. b. Homozygous Dwarf, heterozygous yellow X Heterozygous tall, homozygous greenarrow_forwardThe diagram shows a plant that is heterozygous for two genes. G = yellow; g = green; R = round; r = wrinkled G Four different types of gametes are produced by a heterozygous individual when crossing over occurs, and two different types of gametes are produced when crossing over does not occur. What does this information reveal about crossng over? O Crossing over introduces variety by producing different combinations of alleles. O Crossing over reduces the incidence of DNA and chromosomal mutations. O Crossing over introduces variety in by creating types of genes. O Crossing over maintains the count of genes and the original alleles in both chromosomes.
