In oats, the color of the chaff is determined by a two-gene interaction. When a true-breeding black chaff plant was crossed to a truebreeding white chaff plant, the F1 generation was composed of allblack chaff plants. When the F1 offspring were crossed to eachother, the ratio produced was 12 black to 3 gray to 1 white. First,construct a Punnett square that accounts for this pattern of inheritance. Which genotypes produce the gray chaff phenotype? Second,at the level of protein function, how would you explain this type ofinheritance?

J.W. McKay crossed a stock (true-breeding) melon plant that produced tan seeds with a plant that only produced red seeds and obtained the following results (J.W. McKay. 1936. Journal of Heredity 27:110-112). Cross F1 F2 Tan x red 13 tan 93 tan, 24 red a) Explain the inheritance of tan seeds and red seeds in this plant. b) Assign symbols for the alleles in this cross and draw out the Punnett Squares for the initial cross and the F1 cross.
In a cross involving polygenic inheritance, three (3) gene pairs control plant height. The shortest andtallest plants are 12 cm and 24 cm, respectively. What height should all F1s display if the shortest andtallest plants were crossed, assuming environmental factors are the same?
In a plant, a tall variety was crossed with a dwarf variety. All F1 plants were tall. When F1 * F1 plants were interbred, 9/16 of the F2 were tall and 7/16 were dwarf. (a) Explain the inheritance of height by indicating the number of gene pairs involved and by designating which genotypes yield tall and which yield dwarf. (Use dashes where appropriate.) (b) What proportion of the F2 plants will be true breeding if selffertilized? List these genotypes.
Coat color in mice is influenced by two genes, one for color (A) and one for the amount of pigment production (C). Mice with the wild type agouti coat color have a yellowish to brownish color. Mice also have a gene that determines the amount of pigment the hair produces. Multiple crosses were made between male and female mice that were each heterozygous for both traits (AaCc). The data table shows the number of mice of each coat type. Calculate the average F1 generation coat color to answer the question. Which of the following is the most probable interaction between the two genetic loci, A and C, based on the average F1 ratio results? A - The two loci show an epistatic pattern with the loci C epistatic to loci A. B - The two loci show a codominant pattern with both loci affecting coat color. C - The two loci interact in a Mendelian pattern with A being completely dominant over C. D - The two loci show an incomplete dominance pattern with neither loci A nor C being dominant.

Two true breeding pea plants-one with yellow round seeds (YYRR) and the other with green wrinkled seeds (yyrr)-were crossed. The F1 plants will be dihybrid heterozygous for both the characters (yyRr). The plants were self-pollinated. Will the Y and R alleles always stay together, generation after generation? Or are seed color and seed shape inherited independently of each other? Show how you come to a conclusion.
In certain cactus, prickly spines can be two-pronged or one-pronged. If a homozygous one-pronged cactus is crossed with a homozygous two-pronged cactus, the F1 generation has a mixture of spines (some are two-pronged, some are one-pronged). a. What are the genotypes of the parents and F1s?b. What mode of inheritance is exhibited? c. If the F1s were crossed, what proportion of the F2s will have genotypes like their parents?
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.)
Mendelian ratios are modified in crosses involving autotetraploids.Assume that one plant expresses the dominant trait greenseeds and is homozygous (WWWW). This plant is crossed to onewith white seeds that is also homozygous (wwww). If only onedominant allele is sufficient to produce green seeds, predict theF1 and F2 results of such a cross. Assume that synapsis betweenchromosome pairs is random during meiosis.
In guinea pigs, rough coat (R) is dominant to smooth coat (r). If a homozygous rough-coated animal is crossed with a smooth-coated one: What will be the phenotype(s) of the F1 generation? What will be the phenotype(s) of the F2 generation? What will be the phenotype(s) of the offspring resulting from a cross of an F1 individual back to its rough parent? What will be the phenotype(s) of the offspring of a cross of an F1 individual back to its smooth parent?
Two pure-breeding lines of petunia plants are crossed. Line 1 plants grow to a height of 54 cm, and Line 2 plants grow to a height of 18 cm. Petunia plant height is controlled by three genes, A, B and C. Line 1 has the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁, and line 2 has the genotype A2A2B₂B₂C₂C₂. Assume that genotype alone determines plant height under ideal growth conditions and that the alleles of the three genes are additive. If the F1 plants are self crossed, what is the expected proportion of F2 plants with the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁ 1/8 1/32 1/16 1/4 1/64
