- Two true-breeding varieties of maize, one 11 cm high and the other 47 cm high were crossed and the resultant F1 hybrids were then crossed to generate the F2 . In the F2 there were a total of 13,923 plants with a continuous variation in heights between the two extremes and with only 3 plants as large as 47 cm high and 5 plants of 11 cm high. a) How many i) genes and ii) how many alleles are involved in determining height in this plant?arrow_forward1) In some species of pea plant, pea colour is determined by one pair of alleles and pea shape by another - the genes are on different chromosomes. A plant grown from a round green pea was self-pollinated. The following numbers of offspring were obtained: 95 green round, 28 white round, 30 green wrinkled, 11 white wrinkled. a) What is the ratio of the phenotypes in the offspring? b) In each pair of alleles, colour and shape, which allele is dominant and which recessive? c) what was the genotype of the parent(s)? Use a diagram to show how this explains the phenotype ratio of the offspring.arrow_forward41) A pea plant known to be heterozygous at three loci is test crossed. The progeny phenotypes and the frequencies are as follows: abç +++ abc +bc a++ ++c ab+ +b+ a+c 455 470 35 33 37 -- 35 460 475 bac +++ What is the linkage arrangement of the genes? a) abc b) bac c) acb e) ab are linked c assorts independently d) ac are linked b assorts independentlyarrow_forward
