More Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment
Think about this one carefully. Albinism and hair color are governed by different genes. A recessively inherited form of albinism causes affected individuals to lack pigment in their skin, hair, and eyes. In hair color, red hair is inherited as a recessive trait and brown hair is inherited as a dominant trait relative to red hair. An albino woman whose parents both have red hair has two children with a man who is normally pigmented and has brown hair. The brown-haired partner has one parent who has red hair. The first child is normally pigmented and has brown hair. The second child is albino.
- a. What is the hair color (
phenotype ) of the albino parent? - b. What is the genotype of the albino parent for hair color?
- c. What is the genotype of the brown-haired parent with respect to hair color? Skin pigmentation?
- d. What is the genotype of the first child with respect to hair color and skin pigmentation?
- e. What are the possible genotypes of the second child for hair color? What is the phenotype of the second child for hair color? Can you explain this?

Helppp
In snapdragon plants, flower color follows an incomplete dominance inheritance pattern. Homozygous dominant plants have red flowers, heterozygotes have pink flowers, and homozygous recessive plants have white flowers.
Complete the following cross and identify what percentage of the offspring are each color.
Cross- Homozygous dominant by heterozygous plants
what % have red flowers
what % have pink flowers
what % have white flowers
. Assume that white color (W) is dominant over yellow color (w) in corn. Perform a Punnett square for a cross where pollen from the anthers of a plant that is heterozygous for color is placed on the pistil of a yellow-fruited plant. What are the genotypes and phenotypes you would expect to find from this cross?

- More Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment Two traits are examined simultaneously in a cross of two pure-breeding pea-plant varieties. Pod shape can be either swollen or pinched. Pea color can be either green or yellow. A plant with the traits swollen and green is crossed with a plant with the traits pinched and yellow, and a resulting F1 plant is self-crossed. A total of 640 F2 progeny are phenotypically categorized as follows: 360 swollen yellow 120 swollen green 120 pinched yellow 40 pinched green a. What is the phenotypic ratio observed for pod shape? Pea color? b. What is the phenotypic ratio observed for both traits considered together? c. What is the dominance relationship for pod shape? Pea color? d. Deduce the genotypes of the P1 and F1 generations.arrow_forwardMore Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment Consider the following cross in pea plants, in which smooth pea shape is dominant to wrinkled, and yellow pea color is dominant to green. A plant with smooth yellow peas is crossed to a plant with wrinkled green peas. The offspring produced peas that were all smooth and yellow. What are the genotypes of the parents? What are the genotypes of the offspring?arrow_forwardMore Crosses with Pea Plants: The Principle of Independent Assortment Determine the possible genotypes of the following parents by analyzing the phenotypes of their children. In this case, we will assume that brown eyes (B) is dominant to blue (b) and that right-handedness (R) is dominant to left-handedness (r). a. Parents: brown eyes, right-handed brown eyes, right-handed Offspring: 3/4 brown eyes, right-handed 1/4 blue eyes, right-handed b.

- n pea plants, the appearance of flowers along the main stem is a dominant phenotype called axial and is controlled by the T allele. The recessive phenotype, produced by the E t allele, has flowers only at the end of the stem and is called terminal. Seedpod form iS determined by a second gene. The dominant phenotype inflated is controlled by allele C, and a recessive constricted form, produced by allele c. A pure breeding axial, constricted plant is crossed to one that is pure-breeding terminal, inflated. A. The F1 progeny of this cross are allowed to self-fertilize.
