2. Show the cross and provide full justification in each case: a) An F1 x F1 self-fertilization gives a 9:7 phenotypic ratio in the F2. What phenotypic ratio would you expect if you test-crossed the F1? b) An F1 x F1 self-fertilization gives a 9:3:4 phenotypic ratio in the F2. What phenotypic ratio would you expect if you test-crossed the F1? c) An F1 x F1 self-fertilization gives a 15:1 phenotypic ratio in the F2. What phenotypic ratio would you expect if you test-crossed the F1?

9. In the F2 Generation, both the male and female pea plants are heterozygous for round/wrinkles seeds. 1)Draw a Punnett square that shows this cross. 2)What are the possible genotypes? 3)What are the possible phenotypes? 10. In pea plants, the allele for smooth pods (P) is dominant over the allele for pinched pods (p). Construct a Punnett Square that shows a cross between an PP plant and an Pp plant. Predict what percent of the offspring are likely to have smooth pods. Essay: Is it possible for a son to inherit an allele on an X chromosome from his father? Explain why or why not.
8. In guinea pigs, the allele for black fur (B) is dominant over the allele for white fur (b). Similarly, the allele for straight hair (H) is dominant over the allele for having rough hair (h). Pure breeding rough haired guinea pigs with black fur were crossed with pure breeding straight haired guinea pigs with white fur. a. State the genotype and the phenotype of the F1 individuals produced as a result of this cross.b. Two F1 offspring were mated together. Calculate the expected ratio of phenotypes in the F2 generation.c. Show the completed Punnett square below.
3. Short-tailed pup distribution. In mice, the dominant T allele results in a short tail. Homozygous T/T genotype is lethal, which means mouse embryos with this genotype die before they are born. Homozygous t/t is normal, with normal tail. A cross between two short-tailed mice produces a litter of 5 pups. a). What are the genotype(s) of the two short-tailed mice used in the cross? b). What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the 5 pups? What are their perspective ratio?
3. You perform a cross between two true-breedingstrains of zucchini. One has green fruit and the otherhas yellow fruit. The F1 plants are all green, butwhen these are crossed, the F2 plants consist of9 green : 7 yellow.a. Explain this result. What were the genotypes of thetwo parental strains?b. Indicate the phenotypes, with frequencies, of theprogeny of a testcross of the F1 plants.c. Describe the epistasis interactions observed.d. Suppose that the dominant alleles specify functional enzymes, and the recessive alleles are nonfunctional. Propose a biochemical pathway thatcould explain the gene interactions.e. Is it possible to cross two different pure-breedingyellow zucchini strains and obtain all green progeny? What would be the genotypes of the parentsand progeny? f. Assuming that wild-type zucchini are green, howwould you describe the phenomenon that occurredin the F1 of part (e)?
10. A population geneticist collected 400 deer mice from the wild. All have normal ears. She raised about 800 animals in each of the following four generations (random mating) and found that all except one male in the fourth generation had normal ears. This male was earless but was otherwise wild-type and fertile. (a) Suggest 3 possible causes that could lead to the appearance of this earless male. (b) What kinds of experimental crosses would you carry out to distinguish between these three alternatives?
Why is it more efficient to perform a test cross with a homozygous recessive donor than a homozygous dominant donor? How could the same information still he found with a homozygous dominant donor?
Some recessive alleles have such a detrimental effect that they are lethal when present in both chromosomes of a pair. Homozygous recessives cannot survive and die at some point during embryonic development. Suppose that the allele r is lethal in the homozygous rr condition. What genotypic ratios would you expect among the living offspring of the following crosses? a. RRRr b. RrRr
11. Perform two consecutive crosses similar to those of Mendel for the following individual plants. Plants with round seeds (RR) are crossing with plants with wrinkled seeds (rr). After the first cross, cross the offspring together to generate F, offspring. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ration of F,? Round : wrinkled 3 1 phenotypic ratio: RR: Rr: rr Genotypic ratio: 1: 2: 1 12. Perform two consecutive crosses between these two plants, GGHH x gghh, as in question #11.

Which of the following conclusions can accurately be made by the assistant? a) The researcher had crossed true-breeding plants of differing pod colors. b) O The researcher had crossed two heterozygous plants. C) The researcher had selfed a true-breeding plant with green pods. d) The researcher had crossed two plants with yellow pods. e) The researcher had crossed a plant with green pods to a plant with yellow pods.
