Scenario: plant species has flowers that can be red, pink, or white. Flower color is controlled by one gene with two alleles, A (p) and a (q). Red flowers are produced by AA homozygotes, pink flowers are produced by Aa heterozygotes and white flowers are produced by aa homozygotes. A recent survey of 100 of these plants found the following number of different flower colors: 75 plants with red flowers, 20 pink flowers, 5 white flowers. Question: Among 500 plants, how many of the 'AA' genotype are expected under Hardy-Weinberg?

The shape of a pumpkin is determined by the action of two genes A and B. The recessive forms of these two alleles produces a flattened-shaped fruit, whereas the dominant forms of these two alleles produce the typical pumpkin with ridges. When both alleles are heterozygous a disc-shaped pumpkin is produced. If the genotype of the pumpkin plant is homozygous dominant at one allele and heterozygous at the other, the pumpkin will be ball-shaped. If the pumpkin plant is homozygous recessive at one allele and heterozygous at the other allele it produces an oblong-shaped fruit. Plants with genotypes other than the ones listed in this question do not produce pumpkins. Do the following cross: two pumpkin plants capable of making disc-shaped pumpkins are crossed with each other. Based on this cross, answer the following: (Show your work below.) How many of the progeny will make ball-shaped pumpkins?__________________________________________ How many of the progeny will make disc-shaped…

A new kind of tulip is produced that develops only purple or pink flowers. Assume that flower color is controlled by a single-gene locus and that the purple allele (C) is dominant to the pink allele (c). A random sample of 1000 tulips from a large cultivated field yields 847 purple flowers (out of which 476 are heterozygous) and 153 pink flowers. If p = frequency of C allele and q = frequency of the c allele. Calculate p and q. A. p = 0.4 q = 0.6 B. p = 0.61 q = 0.39 C. p = 0.847 q = 0.153 D. p = 0.82 q = 0.18
Plant height is controlled by 5 gene pairs. The homozygous dominant is 200 cm tall while the homozygous recessive exhibits 80 cm height. Assume that the alleles have equal contribution and have cumulative effects. The F1 and F2 of the two parents below were studied. Parent 1 Parent 2 DID,D2D2D3D3dąd, dsds dıdıd2d2d3d3DąD4 D5D5 a.

In tomatoes, one gene determines whether the plant has purple (P) or green (G) stems, and a separate, independent gene determines whether the leaves are “cut” (C) or “potato” (Po). Five matings of tomato-plant phenotypes give the following results: Parental Number of progeny Mating phenotypes P, C P, Po G, C G, Po 1 P, C × G, C 323 102 309 106 2 P, C × P, Po 220 206 65 72 3 P, C × G, C 723 229 0 0 4 P, C × G, Po 405 0 389 0 5 P, Po × G, C 71 90 85 78 a.

Sunflowers with flowers 10 cm in diameter are crossed with a plant that has 20-cm flowers. The F1 plants have flowers 15 cm in diameter. In the F2 generation, 4 flowers are 10 cm in diameter and 4 are 20 cm in diameter. Between these are 5 phenotypic classes with diameters intermediate to those at the extremes. a. Assuming that the alleles that contribute to flower diameter act additively, how many genes control flower size in this strain of sunflowers? b. How much does each additive allele contribute to flower diameter? c. What size flower makes up the largest phenotypic class?
In a certain plant, fruit is either red or yellow, and fruit shape is either oval or long. Red and oval are the dominant traits.

If an allotetraploid species is made up of two ancestral genomes, A and B, with each of them having a basic chromosome number of seven. The resistance to the pathogen attacking the foliage of plants is controlled by a dominant allele located at the F locus. The recessive alleles F^a and F^b show sensitivity to the pathogen. Plants with at least on F^A allele are resistant to the pathotype 1 and 2 (regardless of the genotype in B genome), and plants with at least one F^B allele are resistant to pathotypes 1 and 3 (regardless of genotype in A genome). What proprtion of the self-progeny of F^AF^a F^BF^b plant will be resistant to pathotype 1, 2 and 3?
1) In some species of pea plant, pea colour is determined by one pair of alleles and pea shape by another - the genes are on different chromosomes. A plant grown from a round green pea was self-pollinated. The following numbers of offspring were obtained: 95 green round, 28 white round, 30 green wrinkled, 11 white wrinkled. a) What is the ratio of the phenotypes in the offspring? b) In each pair of alleles, colour and shape, which allele is dominant and which recessive? c) what was the genotype of the parent(s)? Use a diagram to show how this explains the phenotype ratio of the offspring.
