In corn plants, a dominant allele Z inhibits kernel color, while the recessive allele z permits color when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant allele X causes purple kernel color, while the homozygous recessive genotype causes red kernel color. If corn plants heterozygous for both the Z and X genes are crossed, what are the chances that the offspring will have purple kernels? Enter your answer as a decimal fraction in the box (e.g. 0.25).
In corn plants, a dominant allele (K) allows kernel colour and a recessive allele (k) inhibits kernel colour when homozygous. On a different chromosome, the dominant gene P causes purple kernel colour and the homozygous recessive genotype causes red kernel colour.A true breeding white corn plant was crossed with a purple corn plant, yielding 50% red corn plants and 50% purple corn plants.What are the genotypes of the parental corn plants? Select one: a. KKPp kkpp b. KkPP kkPP c. kkPp KkPp d. KKPP kkPp
In pea plants, seed shape and seed color are controlled by genes located on different chromosomes. Seeds may be round (R) or wrinkled (r), with the allele for round seeds being dominant. Alleles for seed color are yellow and green, with the green allele (y) recessive to the yellow (Y) allele. If you cross an individual that is homozygous round and yellow with an individual that is homozygous for wrinkled and green, what is the genotype of the F1 individuals? Set up a Punnett square for the dihybrid cross.
In a certain plant, the orange flower allele (Y) is dominant to the yellow flower allele (y). An allele that prevents flower color pigment formation (W) results in white flowers irrespectively of the Y and y alleles, and is dominant to an allele (w) that allows flower color formation. What is the expected proportion of phenotypes in the offspring of a cross between plants with the following genotypes? yyWw X YyWw
In a certain plant, the orange flower allele (Y) is dominant to the yellow flower allele (y). An allele that prevents flower color pigment formation (W) results in white flowers irrespectively of the Y and y alleles, and is dominant to an allele (w) that allows flower color formation. What is the expected proportion of phenotypes in the offspring of a cross between plants with the following genotypes? yyWw X Yyww 9/16 white flowers, 3/16 orange flowers, 4/16 yellow flowers 1/3 white flowers, 1/3 orange flowers, 1/3 yellow flowers 12/16 white flowers, 3/16 orange flowers, 1/16 yellow flowers 6/8 white flowers, 1/8 orange flowers, 1/8 yellow flowers 1/2 white flowers, 1/4 orange flowers, 1/4 yellow flowers
In corn plants, a dominant allele (I) inhibits kernel colour, but the recessive allele (i) permits colour when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant gene P causes purple kernel colour, and the homozygous recessive genotype pp causes red kernels. If plants that are heterozygous at both loci are crossed, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the F1 generation?
Let us suppose that two plants are crossed (mated). One plant (female) is homozygous dominant and produces chlorophyll, and the other (male) is homozygous recessive and does not produce chlorophyll. These two plants are considered the parental, or P generation. What would be the possible genotypes and phenotypes of these two individuals? Fill in the table below with the parental generation's descriptional information. Table 6.1 Female Male Description Parental Generation Homozygous dominant P Generation Genotype gg Phenotype Green
In the video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons, flowering breeding is based in genetics. Each flower's color is determined by the genotype at three or four unlinked genes: R, Y, W, and S. The genotype of the elusive blue rose is RR YY ww ss. In the game, one way to get a blue rose is to cross two roses with the Rr Yy Ww ss genotype. A) What types of gametes and in what proportions will a Rr Yy Ww ss rose produce? B) In a cross Rr Yy Ww ss x Rr Yy Ww ss what are the possible offspring genotypes and at what frequency will they each appear? Show your work. C) What proportion of the offspring of the cross will be blue roses?
A. In corn, yellow kernels (Y) are dominant to white kernels (y). If you cross two plants with the Yy genotype, what percentage of the offspring will have yellow kernels? B.What percentage of the offspring will have the same genotype as the parent plants? C.Say you're also interested in corn plant height where tall plants (T) are dominant to short plants (t). You want to save some time and just cross your plants once. The P1 genotypes are YyTT and YYTt. Will you get any short plants with yellow kernels from this cross? Why or why not? D. If these traits, kernel color and height were linked, how would this affect your experimental outcomes? Would you expect the laws of Mendelian genetics to still apply? Why or why not ?
In corn, two independent, recessive nuclear genes, japonica (j) and iojap (ij), produce variegation (green and white striped leaves). Matings between individuals heterozygous for japonica always produce 3 green:1 striped individuals regardless of how the cross is performed. You have a variegated plant that could be either jj or ijij . What cross can you make to determine the genotype of this plant, and what results do you expect in the F1 generation in each case?
In a certain type of pea plant, the gene for yellow color (Y) is dominant to the gene for green color (y), and the gene for round shape (R) is dominant to the gene for wrinkled shape (r). If a homozygous dominant plant is mated with a homozygous recessive plant (P-gen), what proportion in the F2 generation will be homozygous recessive? a) 1/4 b) 1/16 c) 3/4 d) 3/8
In corn plants, two pairs of genes control color in the ears of corn. The following genotypes result in various colors: W-C- [red]; wwC- [yellow]; W-cc [white]; wwcc [white]. What is the phenotypic ratio of the dihybrid cross between corn plants heterozygous for both genes? (Dashes mean the allele could be W or w, i.e., WWCC/WwCC/WWCc/WwCc geneotype gives red color)
