Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7GP
A cross between a pea plant that produces round (R), yellow (Y) peas and a pea plant that produces wrinkled (r), green (y) peas results in 50% yellow, round pea offspring and 50% green, wrinkled pea offspring. What are the genotypes of the plants in the initial cross?

Consider this cross in pea plants: Tt Rr yy Aa × Tt rr Yy Aa, whereT = tall, t = dwarf, R = round, r = wrinkled, Y = yellow, y = green,A = axial, a = terminal. What is the expected phenotypic outcomeof this cross? Have one group of students solve this problem bymaking one big Punnett square, and have another group solve it bymaking four single-gene Punnett squares and using the multiplication method. Time each other to see who gets done first.
There are some members of the genus Datura that are trisomic for the chromosome set, which carries the genes for purple (p+) and white (p)
flower color. In a cross involving a trisomic p+ p+ p female and pollen from a normal p+ p plant, what is the expected proportion of purple and
white flowered individuals?
A cross between two red flower plants produces 2/3 progeny that are red and1/3 progeny that are yellow. What is the genotype of the red flower? Explain these unexpected ratios.

- In pea plants, yellow seeds (Y) are dominant to green seeds (y) and round seeds (R) are dominant to wrinkled seeds (). The genes for seed color and seed shape are on different chromosomes. Two true-breeding parents, one with yellow round peas and the other with green wrinkled peas, are crossed to produce a hybrid (heterozygous) F₁. Two F₁ individuals are crossed to give an F2; this is depicted in the Punnett square below. Place the correct genotypes in the Punnett square and the place the correct phenotypic ratios next to their appropriate phenotype on the right.
