Chapter 2, Problem 28P
A variety of pea plant called Blue Persian produces a tall plant with blue seeds. A second variety of pea plant called Spanish Dwarf produces a short plant with white seed. The two varieties are crossed, and the resulting seeds are collected. All of the seeds are white; and when planted, they produce all tall plants. These tall F1 plants are allowed to self-fertilize. The results for seed color and plant stature in the F2 generation are as follows:
a. Which
b. What is the expected distribution of phenotypes in the F2 generation?
c. State the hypothesis being tested in this experiment. d. Examine the data in the table by the chi-square test and determine whether they conform to expectations of the hypothesis.

E. W. Lindstrom crossed two corn plants with green seedlings and obtained the following progeny: 3583 green seedlings, 853 virescentwhite seedlings, and 260 yellow seedlings .
Q. Is there epistasis among the genes that determine color in the corn seedlings? If so, which gene is epistatic and which is hypostatic?
A dihybrid cross of two plants is done and the seed pod shape is examined. The seed stock was pure, both always made triangular pods. The pod shape is known to be controlled by two independently assorting genes. You cross the plants and produce an F1 generation, and all the seed pods are triangular. Then you cross the F1 plants to each other in three independent experiments and the F2 data is presented in Table 1. Explain the type of epistasis that is event in this data. Suggest a molecular mechanism that can explain this type of gene interaction.

Both genes, A and B, work in tandem in a biochemical pathway, and dominant forms of both genes are required for red flowers.

- You have two true-breeding strains of coneflower. One strain has purple flowers and purple stems. The other strain has white flowers and green stems. When you cross these strains the F1 generation has purple flowers and purple stems. From this information you know that purple flowers is dominant to white flowers and that purple stems is dominant to green stems. In terms of genetic mechanisms, there could be two explanations: (1) flower color and stem color are each controlled by separate, independently segregating genes, and (2) there is one gene controlling both flower color and stem color. A. If explanation #1 is correct what would you see if the F1 generation were self-crossed to produce an F2 generation. Make up appropriate genetic symbols for this model and work out the cross to the F2 generation. B. If explanation #2 is correct what would you see if the F1 generation were self-crossed to produce an F2 generation.

The plants with round seeds are heterozygous for the round seed phenotype and F1 offspring is expected to show 200 round and 200 wrinkled seed.

- A white F2 plant is allowed to self-fertilize. Of the progeny, 3/4 are white-flowered, and 1/4 are purple-flowered. What is the genotype of the white F2 plant?arrow_forwardThe crossing of two orange-flowering plants results in ~2/3 orange-flower progeny and ~1/3 white-flower progeny. The crossing of two orange-flowering F1 plants generates the same progeny ratios as observed for the parental cross, while the crossing of white-flowering F1 plants only produces white-flowering progeny. What is a likely explanation for these results?arrow_forwardIn corn, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. This phenotype renders the male part of corn plants (i.e. the tassel) unable to produce fertile pollen; the female parts, however, remain receptive to pollination by pollen from male-fertile corn plants. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene F restores fertility to male-sterile lines. Using the following color-coded circles, simulate the crosses indicated below. Put the illustrations of crosses in the spaces provided. Be sure to include in the labels the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring in each cross.
