a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The genotype of the smooth yellow parent.

Introduction: The law of independent assortment is the third law of Mendelian genetics. It was given by performing a dihybrid cross which is the cross between the alleles of two pairs of contrasting characters. The alleles produced by each character are independent to combine with the alleles of the other character. This independent sorting of the alleles irrespective of the dominant or the recessive trait is defined as the law of independent assortment.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The genotype of the four classes of offsprings formed in the cross.

Introduction: The alleles produced by each character in a dihybrid cross are independent to combine with each other’s phenotypic character. This independent sorting of the alleles irrespective of the dominant or the recessive trait is defined as the law of independent assortment.

In the common daisy, genes A and B control flower color. Both genes have a dominant allele (A or B) and a recessive allele (a or b). At least one copy of each dominant allele is required for flowers to be colorful instead of white. (Explain and Justify your answers)  21.1)      Predict the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 progeny of a cross between two white-flowered plants, one homozygous AA and the other homozygous BB. A)   AA bb, white          B)   aa BB, white  C)   Aa Bb, colorful  D)   Aa Bb, white  E)   aa bb, colorful  21.2)      Predict the phenotypic ratio of the F2 progeny of a cross between two white-flowered plants, one homozygous AA and the other homozygous BB. A)   3 colorful : 1 white            B)   9 colorful : 7 white  C)   9 white : 7 colorful  D)   15 white : 1 colorful  E)   15 colorful : 1 white  21.3)      The inheritance pattern of daisy flower color provides an example of what type of gene interaction?                        A)   additivity…
Perform two consecutive crosses similar to those of Mendel for the following individual plants. Plants with round seeds (RR) are crossing with plants with wrinkled seeds (rr). After the first cross, cross the offspring together to generate F2 offspring. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ration of F2?
. What is the basis for the green-and-white color variegation in the leaves of Mirabilis? If the following cross ismade,variegated / × green what progeny types can be predicted? What about thereciprocal cross?
