- A tall pea plant with purple flowers (both determined by dominant alleles) is crossed with a short plant with white flowers. there is no linkage of genes. if the tall, purple-flowered plant is heterozygous for both traits, the offspring will be: A 1 purple tall:1 white short B 3 purple tall:1 white short C 9 purple tall:3 purple short:3 white tall:1 white short D 1 purple tall:1 purple short:1 white tall:1 white shortarrow_forwardCompare the sample variances of P1 and P2. Account for any differences. Similarly, compare the sample variances of the F1 and F2 generations, and account for any differences. Give the possible causes of variation in each generation.arrow_forwardFor the cross: PpAa x PpAa P = purple flowers (Dominant) p = white flowers A = axial flowers (Dominant) a = terminal flowers a. What are the possible gamete classes that can form from these parents? b. What are the expected offspring genotype classes and ratios/proportions/fractions which will result from the cross? c. What are the expected offspring phenotype classes and ratios/proportions/fractions which will result from the cross? 2. Predict ratios/proportions/fractions of genotypes and phenotypes of the following crosses.

- In a species of the cat family, eye colour can be gray, blue, green or brown, and each colour is true breeding. In separate crosses involving homozygous parents, the following data were obtained: 5. Cross: P1 F1 F2 all green all green all green green x gray % green : % gray % green : 4 brown /16 green : /16 brown : /16 gray :/16 blue green x brown C gray x brown a. Explain this pattern of inheritance. (Refer to the number of loci controlling the trait, the number of alleles per locus and the dominance interaction between the alleles). b. Assign genotypes to (i) green and (ii) blue.arrow_forwardIf a two-point testcross of heterozygous females and homozygous-recessive males in Drosophila results in a calculated map distance of 10 cM between the two genes, the offspring of the cross must have shown four phenotypes in a ratio of a. 9:3:3:1 b. 1:1:1:1 c. 19:19:1:1 d. 3:3:1:1 e. 9:9:1:1arrow_forwarda. What is the type of inheritance? b. What is known of the genotype of the male in the above cross? c. What is known of the genotype of the female in the above cross? d.
