3. 3 I bbtal) Let's take a ślightly different look at the blue-eyed Mary Plants again. To remind you, the populations are dimorphic for dark blotches on the leaves --- some plants have blotches, and others don't. You have already determined earlier in the semester that Blotched is the dominant allele for this trait (use p for the dominant allele), and blotchless (no dark blotches on leaves) is the recessive allele for this trait (use g for the recessive allele). Leaves were sampled from each individual in a population of these plants, representing population in its entirety. The results are shown below: Remember our Hardy-Weinberg formulas: p² + 2pq +q² = 1 and p + q =1. Based solely on the phenotypic information given in the figure above, determine the following information (round to 2 decimal nlaces, please): :de d£h: q = 2pq- 2pqs What percentage of the plants are homozygous for the dominant allele?

Roughly 30% of harvested cantaloupesare wasted because they become overripebefore reaching consumers.

The production of pigment in the outer layer of seedsof corn requires each of the three independently assorting genes A, C, and R to be represented by at leastone dominant allele, as specified in Problem 64.

A large, genetically heterogeneous group of tomato plants was usedas the original breeding stock by two different breeders, namedMary and Hector. Each breeder was given 50 seeds and began aselective breeding strategy, much like that described in Figure24.11. The seeds were planted, and the breeders selected the 10plants with the highest mean tomato weights as the breeding stockfor the next generation. This process was repeated over the courseof 12 growing seasons, and the following data were obtained: A. Explain these results.B. Another tomato breeder, named Martin, got some seeds fromMary’s and Hector’s tomato strains (after 12 generations),grew the plants, and then crossed them to each other. The mean weight of the tomatoes in these hybrids was about 1.7 pounds.For a period of 5 years, Martin subjected these hybrids to thesame selective breeding strategy that Mary and Hector had followed,and he obtained the following results: Explain Martin’s data.

. An allotetraploid species has a genome composed oftwo ancestral genomes, A and B, each of which havea basic chromosome number (x) of seven. In thisspecies, the two copies of each chromosome of eachancestral genome pair only with each other duringmeiosis. Resistance to a pathogen that attacks the foliage of the plant is controlled by a dominant allele atthe F locus. The recessive alleles Faand Fbconfersensitivity to the pathogen, but the dominant resistancealleles present in the two genomes have slightly different effects. Plants with at least one FAallele areresistant to races 1 and 2 of the pathogen regardlessof the genotype in the B genome, and plants with atleast one FBallele are resistant to races 1 and 3 of thepathogen regardless of the genotype in the A genome.What proportion of the self-progeny of an FA Fa FB Fbplant will be resistant to all three races of the pathogen?
. In a particular kind of ornamental flower, the wildtype flower color is deep purple, and the plants aretrue-breeding. In one true-breeding mutant stock, theflowers have a reduced pigmentation, resulting in alavender color. In a different true-breeding mutantstock, the flowers have no pigmentation and are thuswhite. When a lavender-flowered plant from the firstmutant stock was crossed to a white-flowered plantfrom the second mutant stock, all the F1 plants hadpurple flowers. The F1 plants were then allowed toself-fertilize to produce an F2 generation. The 277 F2plants were 157 purple : 71 white : 49 lavender. a. Explain how flower color is inherited. Is this traitcontrolled by the alleles of a single gene?b. What kinds of progeny would be produced if lavender F2 plants were allowed to self-fertilize?

Is it homozygous or heterozygous? 8. A pea plant exhibits a purple color, but you are unsure of its genotype. With what could you cross this plant to determine its genotype? Show all of your work for the cross. What is this type of cross called? Incomplete dominance: Genes code for the production of specific proteins, many of which are enzymes. Different alleles at a locus code for alternative forms of a protein that differ in structure and when the protein is an enzyme, often have different degrees of catalytic activity. Therefore, a heterozygote genotvpe produces an intermediate phenotype.
