Chapter 2, Problem 41P

A cross between a spicy variety of Capsicum annum pep-per and a sweet (nonspicy) variety produces F1 progeny plants that all have spicy peppers. The F 1 are crossed, and among the F 2   plants are 56 that produce spicy peppers and 20 that produce sweet peppers. Dr. Ara B. Dopsis, an expert on pepper plants, discovers a gene he designates Pun1 that he believes is responsible for spicy versus sweet flavor of peppers. Dr. Dopsis proposes that a dominant allele P produces spicy peppers and that a recessive mutant allele p results in sweet peppers.

a. Are the data on the parental cross and the F 1 and F 2 consistent with the proposal made by Dr. Dopsis? Explain why or why not, using P and p to indicate probable genotypes of pepper plants.

b. Assuming the proposal is correct, what proportion of the spicy F 2 pepper plants do you expect will be pure-breeding? Explain your answer.

A cross was made between a Red and Long flowered (RRLL) plant and a blue and dwarfflowered (rrll) plant. The resulting F1 plants were testcrossed to blue and dwarf plants.160 red and long40 red and dwarf38 blue and long150 blue and dwarfAfter showing your Punnett square for the testcross, use the Chi Square test to determine if thegenes are assorting independently. If they are linked, calculate the distance between the twogenes. Show your work.
In an intra-species cross performed in mustard plants of two different species (Brassica juncea and Brassica oleracea), a tall plant (TT) was crossed with a dwarf (tt) variety in each of the two species. The members of the F1 generation were crossed to produce the F2 generation. Of the F2 plants, Brassica juncea had 60 tall and 20 dwarf plants, while Brassica oleracea had 100 tall and 20 dwarf plants. Use chi-square analysis to analyze these results.
