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.)
When Calvin Bridges observed a large number of offspring from a cross of white-eyed female Drosophila tored-eyed males, he found very rare white-eyed femalesand red-eyed males among the offspring. He was ableto show that these exceptions resulted from nondisjunction, such that the white-eyed females had received twoXs from the egg and a Y from the sperm, while thered-eyed males had received no sex chromosome fromthe egg and an X from the sperm. What progeny wouldhave arisen from these same kinds of nondisjunctionalevents if they had occurred in the male parent? Whatwould their eye colors have been?
