In corn, the genes v (virescent seedlings), pr (red aleurone), and bm (brown midrib) are all on chromosome 5, but not necessarily in the order given. The cross: v+ pr bm/ v pr+ bm+ with v pr bm/ v pr bm produces 1000 progeny with the following phenotypes: v+ pr bm 226 v pr+ bm+ 229 v+ pr bm+ 153 v pr+ bm 185 v+ pr+ bm 59 v pr bm+ 71 v+ pr+ bm+ 36 v pr bm 41 What is the gene order, and the (b) genetic map of these three genes?
On chromosome 4 in Nuerospora, the allele pyr-1 results in a pyrimidine requirement for growth.

A 2n=4 plant is heterozygous at two genes, one controlling plant height (T = tall, t= short) and one controlling disease resistance (D = resistant, d = susceptible). The plant height gene is located on one chromosome, and the disease resistance gene is located on the other chromosome. In the cells below, draw to two possible arrangements of the chromosomes at metaphse I of meiosis. Hint: look at Figure 2.17 in your textbook for an example of how chromosomes can be arranged at metaphase I. Be sure to label the alleles present at the genes on the two chromosomes in each drawing. 00
Renner carried out reciprocal crosses between two types of the evening primrose, Oenothera hookeri and O. muricata, known to have the same chromosome constitution. When the seed parent was O. hookeri, the plastids of the progeny were yellow; but when the seed parent was O. muricata, the plastids of the progeny were green. How might this difference in the results of reciprocal crosses be explained?
three recessive genes a, b, and c in the model plant Arabidopsis are found to be linked on chromosome 4. A three point test cross is done with a homozygous recessive plant with a heterozygous for all three genes.

The radish (Raphanus sativus) has a diploid number (2n) of 18. The cabbage (Brassica oleracia) also has a diploid number (2n) of 18. Why is it that if you cross these two species to produce a hybrid with a total of 18 chromosomes in its somatic cells it is sterile, but if you form an allotetraploid (also known as amphidiploid) from these two species it is fertile?

In rice, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of rice plants (i.e. the stamen) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male fertile rice plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male-sterile lines. Give the result(s) of the cross and explain the phenotype of the offspring.
In corn, the allele f ′ causes floury endosperm and the allele f ″ causes flinty endosperm. In the cross f ′/f ′ ×f ″/f ″, all the progeny endosperms are floury, but, in the reciprocal cross, all the progeny endosperms are flinty. What is a possible explanation? (Check the legend for Figure 2-7.)
A wheat plant that is light green in color is found growing in a field. Biochemical analysis reveals that chloroplasts in this plant produce only 50% of the chlorophyll normally found in wheat chloroplasts. Propose a set of crosses to determine whether the light-green phenotype is caused by a mutation in a nuclear gene or in a chloroplast gene.
