Summary Introduction
Introduction:
In pea plant purple flower and round seeds are dominant traits. When a dihybrid cross is done between purple-flowered, round-seeded (heterozygous for both) the alleles will assort independently in a ratio of 9:3:3:1.

In a certain plant, the seed traits are as follows:
Color: white (W) is dominant over yellow (w)Shape: disk (D) is dominant over sphere (d)Seed coat: thick (T) is dominant over thin (t)
a) If the parent plant is a triple heterozygote, what is its phenotype?
b)
Analyzing the phenotypes of the offspring, the alleles of the gametes were determined as:
85 wDt 390 WDT 27 WDt 81 WdT5 wDT 374 wdt 30 wdT 8 Wdt
construct a genetic map using the three-point cross.
In summer squash, white fruit color(W) is dominant over yellow fruit color(w). If a squash plant homozgous for white is crossed with a plant homozygous for yellow, what will the genotypic ratio be for F2 generation?
A)1:1B)3:1C)1:1:1:1D)1:2:1
3) Some pea plant varieties show reduced growth (pygmy) and abnormal leaf formation (crinkly). Both
characteristics are recessive to the normal sized plant and normal leaf. If a plant, heterozygour for both
characteristics, is self pollinated and 320 seeds are subsequently collected and germinated, how many of the
offspring would you expect to show...
a) normal leaves and pygmy size
b) crinkly leaves
c) normal leaves and normal size
d) normal size?
