In peas, the allele Le produces tall plants and the allele le produces dwarf plants. The Le allele is dominant to le. If a tall plant is crossed with a dwarf, the offspring are distributed about equally between tall and dwarf plants. What are the genotypes of the parents?

In sweet pea plants, an allele for purple flowers. (P) is dominanl when paired with a recessive allele for red flowers (p). An allele for Jang pollen grains (L) is dominant when paired with a recessive allele for round pollen grains (L). Bateson and Punnett crossed a plant having purple flowers and long pollen grains with one having white flowers and round pollen grains. All F1 offspring have purple flowers and long pollen grains. Among the F2 generation, the researchers observed the following phenotypes: 296 purple flowers/long pollen grains 19 purple /lower/ round pollen grains 27 red flowers/long pollen grains 85 red flowers/round pollen grains What is the best explanation for these results?
Several alleles affect traits of roses, such as plant form and bud shape. Alleles of one gene govern whether a plant will be a climber (dominant) or shrubby (recessive). All F1 offspring from a cross between a true-breeding climber and a shrubby plant are climbers. If an F1 plant is crossed with a shrubby plant, about 50 percent of the offspring will be shrubby; 50 percent will be climbers. Using symbols A and a for the dominant and recessive alleles, make a Punnett- square diagram of the expected genotypes and phenotypes the cross between the F1 offspring and the shrubby plant.
6. In corn plants, a dominant allele I inhibits kernel color, while the recessive allele i permits color when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant gene P causes purple kernel color while the homozygous recessive pp causes red kernels. If a plant that is heterozygous at both loci is crossed with a plant that has red kernels, what will be the phenotypic ratio of the offsprings?
1. Alleles of the gene that determines seed coat patternsin lentils can be organized in a dominance series:marbled > spotted = dotted (codominant alleles) >clear. A lentil plant homozygous for the marbled seedcoat pattern allele was crossed to one homozygous forthe spotted pattern allele. In another cross, a homozygous dotted lentil plant was crossed to one homozygous for clear. An F1 plant from the first cross wasthen mated to an F1 plant from the second cross.a. What phenotypes in what proportions are expectedfrom this mating between the two F1 types?b. What are the expected phenotypes of the F1 plantsfrom the two original parental crosses?

8. You are working with a plant that shows blue pigmentation as a continuous trait that is encoded by two genes. For each gene, two alleles exist that can either contribute 1 or 0 doses of pigmentation. 8a. What is the maximum possible number of doses of pigmentation for a given plant? 8b. How many color phenotypes are possible in a dihybrid cross in this case? 8c. If there were six genes that controlled pigmentation in the same way, would there be more or fewer pigmentation phenotypes? How many would there be?
6. In certain plant species such as tomatoes and petunias, a highly polymorphic incompatibility gene Swith more than 100 known alleles prevents self-fertilization and promotes outbreeding. In this form ofincompatibility, a plant cannot accept sperm carrying an allele identical to either of its own incompatibility alleles. If, for example, pollen carryingsperm with allele S1of the incompatibility genelands onto the stigma (a female organ) of a plantthat also carries the S1allele, the sperm cannot fertilize any eggs in that plant. (This phenomenonoccurs because the pollen grain on the stigma cannotgrow a pollen tube to allow the sperm to unite withthe egg.)For the following crosses, indicate whether anyprogeny would be produced, and if so, list all possiblegenotypes of these progeny. a. ♂ S1S2× ♀ S1S2b. ♂ S1S2× ♀ S2S3c. ♂ S1S2× ♀ S3S4d. Explain how this mechanism of incompatibilitywould prevent plant self-fertilization.
