• In a particular plant, leaf color and leaf shape are controlled by two linked genes. Leaves of the wild-type plant are red. A recessive mutation in this gene causes white leaves. Wild-type leaves are pointed and a recessive mutation in this gene causes them to be smooth. The following cross was performed: Heterozygous red, pointed 43 white, smooth 42 red, pointed 8 white, pointed red, smooth Homozygous white, smooth RESULTS: What is the recombination frequency between the gene for leaf color and the gene for leaf shape?

Two unlinked genes control flower color in snapdragons. You cross a true-breeding yellow flowered plant with a true-breeding white flowered plant. All of the offspring are white flowered. When you intercross these white flowers, the offspring occur in a ratio of 9 white: 3 red: and 4 yellow flowered. What genotypes make up the red flowered offspring? R_W_and rrW_ R_W_only rrW_only R_ww and rrww rrww only
Colored aleurone in the kernels of corn is due to the dominant allele R. The recessive allele r, when homozygous, produces colorless aleurone. The plant color (not the kernel color) is controlled by another gene with two alleles, Y and y. The dominant Y allele results in green color, whereas the homozygous presence of the recessive y allele causes the plant to appear yellow. In a testcross between a plant of unknown genotype and phenotype and a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits, the following progeny were obtained: colored, green 88 colored, yellow 12 colorless, green 8 colorless, yellow 92 Explain how these results were obtained by determining the exact genotype and phenotype of the unknown plant, including the precise arrangement of the alleles on the homologs.
Two different genes control the expression of kernel colour in Mexican black corn: black pigment gene B and dotted pigment gene D. Gene B influences the expression of gene D. The dotted phenotype appears only when gene B is in the homozygous recessive state. A colourless variation occurs when both genes are homozygous recessive. What would be the phenotypic ratio of a test cross with a plant heterozygous for both traits? Your response must include a Punnett square with appropriate nomenclature. Show the ratio as whole numbers in their lowest form and their corresponding phenotypes.
One strain of periwinkleplants has green leaves and another strain has white leaves. Bothstrains are true-breeding. You do not know if the phenotypicdifference is due to alleles of a nuclear gene or an organellar gene.The two strains were analyzed using reciprocal crosses, and thefollowing results were obtained:A plant with green leaves is pollinated by a plant with whiteleaves: all offspring have green leaves.A plant with white leaves is pollinated by a plant with greenleaves: all offspring have white leaves. Is this pattern of inheritance consistent with simple Mendelianinheritance, where green is dominant to white, and/or is it consistentwith maternal inheritance?
In com, colored aleurone (in the kernels) is due to the dominant allele R. The recessive allele r, when homozygous, produces colorless aleurone. The plant color (not the kernel color) is controlled by another gene with two alleles Y and y. The dominant Y allele results in green color, whereas the homozygous presence of the recessive y allele causes the plant to appear yellow. In a testcross between a plant of unknown genotype and phenotype and a plant that is homozygous recessive for both traits, the following progeny were obtained. Numbers of Offspring Phenotype Colored Aleurone & Green Plant 88 Colored Aleurone & Yellow Plant 12 Colorless Aleurone & Green Plant 8 Colorless Aleurone & Yellow Plant 92 Question: Determine the genotype and phenotype of the unknown plant, including the precise association of the two genes on the homologs (i.e. the map arrangement)
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. Two plants, both heterozygous for these traits, were testcrossed, with the following results. Progeny Phenotype Plant A Plant B red, long 46 4 yellow, oval 44 6 red, oval 5 43 yellow, long 5 47 100 100 Determine the location of the genes relative to one another and the genotypes of the two parental plants.
In some plants a red pigment is synthesized from a colorless precursor. The addition of a hydroxyl group to the precursor molecule causes it to become purple. In a cross between two randomly selected purple plants, the following results were obtained. 94 purple 31 red 43 white Q:What are the genotypes of the two random purple plants? R/r; P/p X R/r; P/p R/r; p/p X R/r; p/p r/r; P/p X r/r; P/p r/r; p/p X r/r; p/p R/R; P/P X r/r; p/p
Dominant and recessive alleles of a gene in garden peas, G and g, cause seeds to be yellow and green, respectively. Dominant and recessive alleles, F and f, of another gene cause seeds to be spotted or not with violet color, respectively. A plant of genotype GGFF is crossed with a plant of genotype ggff, and the F1 are allowed to self-fertilize. The phenotypes and numbers of F2 progeny are shown below: Phenotype of F2 Number yellow, spotted 89 green, spotted 31 yellow, not spotted 29 green, not spotted 11 Are the G,g and F,f genes linked?

Waxy endosperm (wx), shrunken endosperm (sh) and yellow seedling (v) are encoded by three recessive genes in corn that are linked on chromosome 5. A corn plant homozygous for all three recessive alleles is crossed with a plant homozygous for all the dominant alleles. The resulting F1 are then crossed with a plant homozygous for the recessive alleles in a three point test cross. The progeny of the test cross are: wx sh WX SH V WX SH V Wx sh WX sh V SH v SH V V 87 1,515 94 WX 1,531 3,479 292 WX Wx sh v 3,478 280 a. Determine the order of the genes on the chromosome. b. Calculate the map distances between the genes. c. Determine the cc and I.

Two different genes control the expression of kernel colour in Mexican black corn: black pigment gene B and dotted pigment gene D. Gene B influences the expression of gene D. The dotted phenotype appears only when gene B is in the homozygous recessive state. A colourless variation occurs when both genes are homozygous recessive. After pure-breeding black-pigmented plants were crossed with colourless plants, all of the offspring were black-pigmented. What is the probability of dotted offspring being produced from the test cross described above? (Record your answer as a percentage - do not include a decimal).
