- J. W. McKay crossed a stock melon plant that produced tan seeds with a plant that produced red seeds and obtained the following results (J. W. McKay. 1936. Journal of Heredity 27:110–112). Cross F1 F2 tan ♀ × red ♂ 13 tan seeds 93 tan, 24 red seeds a. Explain the inheritance of tan and red seeds in this plant. b. Assign symbols for the alleles in this cross and give genotypes for all the individual plants.Mendelian ratios are modified in crosses involving autotetraploids.Assume that one plant expresses the dominant trait greenseeds and is homozygous (WWWW). This plant is crossed to onewith white seeds that is also homozygous (wwww). If only onedominant allele is sufficient to produce green seeds, predict theF1 and F2 results of such a cross. Assume that synapsis betweenchromosome pairs is random during meiosis.A researcher crosses two white-flowered lines ofAntirrhinum plants as follows and obtains the followingresults:pure line 1 × pure line 2↓F1 all whiteF1 × F1↓F2 131 white29 reda. Deduce the inheritance of these phenotypes; useclearly defined gene symbols. Give the genotypes ofthe parents, F1, and F2.b. Predict the outcome of crosses of the F1 with eachparental line.
- Summer squash exist in long, spherical, or disk shapes. When atrue-breeding long-shaped strain was crossed to a true-breedingdisk-shaped strain, all of the F1 offspring were disk-shaped. Whenthe F1 offspring were allowed to self-fertilize, the F2 generationconsisted of a ratio of 9 disk-shaped to 6 round-shaped to 1 longshaped. Assuming the shape of summer squash is governed by twodifferent genes, with each gene existing in two alleles, propose amechanism to account for this 9:6:1 ratio+ ec +/Y + + w/Y y ec +/Y + ec +/y ec w ++ w/y ec w у ес +у ес и Determine the order in which the three loci y, ec, and w Occur on the chromosome and prepare a linkage map. 7.22 A cross involving X-linked genes was made between yellow, bar, vermilion female fies and wild males, and the F1 females were crossed with y B v males.

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.

- What is a reciprocal cross? Suppose that a gene is found as a wildtype (functional) allele and a recessive mutant (nonfunctional)allele. What would be the expected outcomes of reciprocal crossesif a true-breeding normal individual was crossed to a true-breedingindividual carrying the mutant allele? What would be the results ifthe gene is maternally inherited?Two pure-breeding lines of petunia plants are crossed. Line 1 plants grow to a height of 54 cm, and Line 2 plants grow to a height of 18 cm. Petunia plant height is controlled by three genes, A, B and C. Line 1 has the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁, and line 2 has the genotype A2A2B₂B₂C₂C₂. Assume that genotype alone determines plant height under ideal growth conditions and that the alleles of the three genes are additive. If the F1 plants are self crossed, what is the expected proportion of F2 plants with the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁ 1/8 1/32 1/16 1/4 1/64Radishes may be long, round, or oval, and they may bered, white, or purple. You cross a long, white variety witha round, red one and obtain an oval, purple F1. TheF2 shows nine phenotypic classes as follows: 9 long, red;15 long, purple; 19 oval, red; 32 oval, purple; 8 long,white; 16 round, purple; 8 round, white; 16 oval, white;and 9 round, red.a.

- A plant with genotype AAbbccDDEE is crossed with one that is aaBBCCddee. F1 individuals are selfed. What isthe probability of getting a F2 plant whose genotype is exactly the same as the genotype of one of the originalparents?Gregor Mendel examined the inheritance of two traits in pea plants: seed coat texture and colour. Seed coat texture can be represented as S-smooth and s-wrinkled, and seed coat colour can be represented as Y-yellow and y-green. SSYY plants were crossed with ssyy plants to yield F1 pea seeds that were all smooth and all yellow. By crossing plants grown from these F1 seeds, Mendel obtained four different phenotypes of F2 seeds: • smooth and green seeds wrinkled and green seeds smooth and yellow seeds wrinkled and yellow seeds ● Use the following information to answer the next question. ● The F2 phenotypic ratio that Mendel obtained upon crossing two heterozygous smooth and yellow F1 individuals would have been: smooth and green wrinkled and green : smooth and yellow: wrinkled and yellow Record only the numeric values associated with the phenotypes. (Do not include the colons, spaces, commas, etc.)You have a purple-flowered pea plant, but you do not know if it is homozygous (PP) or heterozygous (Pp) for flower color because both genotypes result in the same purple phenotype. Purple color allel (P) is dominant over white flower allel (p). What would you do to determine the genotype of flower color of this plant? Lötfen birini seçin: O a.
