Two true-breeding white strains of the plantIllegitimati noncarborundum were mated, and theF1 progeny were all white. When the F1 plants wereallowed to self-fertilize, 126 white-flowered and33 purple-flowered F2 plants grew.a. How would you describe inheritance of flowercolor? Describe how specific alleles influence eachother and therefore affect phenotype.b. A white F2 plant is allowed to self-fertilize. Ofthe progeny, 3/4 are white-flowered, and 1/4 are purple-flowered. What is the genotype of the whiteF2 plant?c. A purple F2 plant is allowed to self-fertilize. Of theprogeny, 3/4 are purple-flowered, and 1/4 arewhite-flowered. What is the genotype of the purpleF2 plant?d. Two white F2 plants are crossed with each other.Of the progeny, 1/2 are purple-flowered, and 1/2are white-flowered. What are the genotypes of thetwo white F2 plants?
In the tomato, yellow flowers (Y) is dominant to white flowers (y). A true-breeding yellow flowered strain is crossed with a true-breeding white flowered strain.A. If the F1 generation is self crossed, what will be the genotypes and phenotypes of the progeny and in what portions are they expected? B. If an F1 plant were crossed with a plant from true-breeding white flowered strain, what will be the genotypes and phenotypes of the progeny and in what portions are they expected?
Leaf coloration in the four-o'clock plant, Mirabilis jalapa, was one of the first examples of extranuclear inheritance. Leaves may be green, white or variegated. If ovules from a white-leafed branch are pollinated with pollen from a green-leafed branch, what phenotypes will be observed in the progeny? A. all green-leafed progeny B. white-, green- and variegated-leafed progeny C. white- and green-leafed progeny D. all white-leafed progeny
Earlobe attachment is controlled by a single gene. The free (F) condition is dominant over the attached (f) condition. A woman with free earlobes produced several children with a man having attached earlobes. The following results were obtained with the F1 offspring: 8 free, 7 attached. What are the parents’ genotypes? a. A heterozygous free-lobed man is mated to a heterozygous free-lobed woman. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of their possible offspring?
In a plant, a tall variety was crossed with a dwarf variety. All F1 plants were tall. When F1 * F1 plants were interbred, 9/16 of the F2 were tall and 7/16 were dwarf. (a) Explain the inheritance of height by indicating the number of gene pairs involved and by designating which genotypes yield tall and which yield dwarf. (Use dashes where appropriate.) (b) What proportion of the F2 plants will be true breeding if selffertilized? List these genotypes.
Normal pigmentation in humans is completely dominant to albinism. A couple who are both carriers for albinism decided to have children. a. Given that their first offspring normally pigmented, what is the probability that the child is a carrier? b. Considering the same genotypes of parents, what is the likelihood that three albino and two are normally pigments in a brood of five?
A heterozygous individual is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual. a. Draw a Punnett square to represent this cross. b. What is the probability that an offspring will have a homozygous genotype? c. What is the probability that an offspring will have a dominant phenotype? d. What is the probability that three offspring will be produced that all carry the recessive allele but do not express the recessive phenotype?

raccoons may have wide, medium-sized, or narrow bands around their tails. They may also havethe habit of washing all, or some of their food, or do not wash their food at all. a) assign genotypes to the phenotypes mentioned (see attached table) b. What mode of inheritance would most likely be exhibited by these traits if crosses were made? c. If two raccoons with medium-sized tail bands and have the habit of washing some of theirfoods will be crossed, what is the probability of having F1 raccoons with: c.1 wide tail bands that won’t wash any of their food? c.2 the same genotype as the parent raccoons? d. If a raccoon with a wide tail band that washes only some of its food is crossed with a raccoonwith a narrow tail band that doesn’t wash any food, what percentage of their offspring wouldbe medium-tailed and washes all its food?
