Chapter 3, Problem 16P
In certain plant species such as tomatoes and petunias, a highly polymorphic incompatibility gene S with more than 100 known alleles prevents self-fertilization and promotes outbreeding. In this form of incompatibility, a plant cannot accept sperm carrying an allele identical to either of its own incompatibility alleles. If, for example, pollen carrying sperm with allele S1 of the incompatibility gene lands onto the stigma (a female organ) of a plant that also carries the S1 allele, the sperm cannot fertilize any eggs in that plant. (This phenomenon occurs because the pollen grain on the stigma cannot grow a pollen tube to allow the sperm to unite with the egg.)
For the following crosses, indicate whether any progeny would be produced, and if so, list all possible genotypes of these progeny.
| a. | ♂ S1 S2 × ♀ S1 S2 |
| b. | ♂ S1 S2 × ; ♀ S2 S3 |
| c. | ♂ S1 S2 × ♀ S3 S4 |
| d. | Explain how this mechanism of incompatibility would prevent plant self-fertilization. |
| e. | How does this incompatibility system ensure that all plants will be heterozygotes for different alleles of the S gene? |
| f. | How do you know that peas are not governed by this incompatibility mechanism? |
| g. | Explain why evolution would favor the emergence of new incompatibility alleles, making the gene increasingly polymorphic in populations of tomatoes or petunias. |

Waxy endosperm (wx), shrunken endosperm (sh), and yellow seedlings (v) are encoded by three recessive genes in corn that are linked on chromosome 5. A corn plant homozygous for all three recessive alleles is crossed with a plant homozygous for all the dominant alleles. The resulting F1 are then crossed with a plant homozygous for the recessive alleles in a three-point testcross.

Determine the order of these genes on the chromosome. b. Calculate the map distances between the genes. c. Determine the coefficient of coincidence and the interference among these genes.
Two different genes control the expression of kernel
colour in Mexican black corn: black pigment gene B and
dotted pigment gene D. Gene B influences the
expression of gene D. The dotted phenotype appears
only when gene B is in the homozygous recessive state.
A colourless variation occurs when both genes are
homozygous recessive.
What would be the phenotypic ratio of a test cross with a
plant heterozygous for both traits? Your response must
include a Punnett square with appropriate nomenclature.
Show the ratio as whole numbers in their lowest form
and their corresponding phenotypes.

Plants carrying one copy of a dominant allele, Xa4 (corresponding to a second gene located on a different chromosome), are resistant to bacterial blight. Note that both the sd1 and Xa4 alleles would be considered "mutant" alleles in this scenario. A farmer obtained two pureline plants (one is homozygous for the sd1 mutant and the other is homozygous for the Xa4 mutant) and crossed them. Assume both pureline plants have identical alleles at all other loci, and no other mutant alleles are present in these two plants, which of these statements is correct? O All the progeny will be susceptible to bacterial blight and will be short. O When a progeny plant from the cross goes through meiosis, gametes will either contain sd1 or Xa4 alleles, but never both. O When a progeny plant from the cross goes through meiosis, four possible types of gametes that may form, and the…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.)

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).

This phenotype renders the male part of rice plants (i.e. the stamen) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male fertile rice plants.
