In one study, Gregor Mendel crossed yellow-seeded, tall garden pea with a green-seeded, short garden pea. The F1 offspring were all yellow-seeded and tall. Assuming independent assortment of these two genes, what phenotypes and proportions did he fin among F2 offspring when the F1 garden peas are allowed to fertilize themselves? Show the solution with punnett square.

Summer squash exist in long, spherical, or disk shapes. When atrue-breeding long-shaped strain was crossed to a true-breedingdisk-shaped strain, all of the F1 offspring were disk-shaped. Whenthe F1 offspring were allowed to self-fertilize, the F2 generationconsisted of a ratio of 9 disk-shaped to 6 round-shaped to 1 longshaped. Assuming the shape of summer squash is governed by twodifferent genes, with each gene existing in two alleles, propose amechanism to account for this 9:6:1 ratio
E. W. Lindstrom crossed two corn plants with green seedlings and obtained the following progeny: 3583 green seedlings, 853 virescentwhite seedlings, and 260 yellow seedlings . Q. Explain how color is determined in these seedlings.
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.
E. W. Lindstrom crossed two corn plants with green seedlings and obtained the following progeny: 3583 green seedlings, 853 virescentwhite seedlings, and 260 yellow seedlings . Q. Give the genotypes for the green, virescent-white, and yellow progeny.
E. W. Lindstrom crossed two corn plants with green seedlings and obtained the following progeny: 3583 green seedlings, 853 virescentwhite seedlings, and 260 yellow seedlings . Q. Is there epistasis among the genes that determine color in the corn seedlings? If so, which gene is epistatic and which is hypostatic?
Mendel crossed peas having round seeds and yellow cotyledons with peas having wrinkled seeds and green cotyledons. All the F1 plants had round seeds with yellow cotyledons. Diagram this cross through the F2 generation, using both the Punnett square and forked-line methods.
A cross between two red flower plants produces 2/3 progeny that are red and1/3 progeny that are yellow. What is the genotype of the red flower? Explain these unexpected ratios.
A cross was made between two pea plants, TtAa and Ttaa, whereT = tall, t = dwarf, A = axial, and a = terminal. What is the probability that the first three offspring will be tall with axial flowers or dwarf with terminal flowers and the fourth offspring will be tall with axial flowers? Discuss what operation(s) (e.g., product rule or binomial expansion equation) you used and in what order they were used
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.)
In a variety of tomato plant ,the leaves maybe pure green,pure white,or variegated (mixture). a)when 2 variegated plants were crossed,87 offspring were produced,of these 20 were green,46 were variegated and 21 remain died soon after germination.Draw a genetic diagram to explain these results,why did 21 of them died
We have dealt mainly with only two genes, but the sameprinciples hold for more than two genes. Consider thefollowing cross:A/a ; B/b ; C/c ; D/d ; E/e × a/a ; B/b ; c/c ; D/d ; e/ea. What proportion of progeny will phenotypicallyresemble (1) the first parent, (2) the second parent,(3) either parent, and (4) neither parent?b. What proportion of progeny will be genotypically thesame as (1) the first parent, (2) the second parent,(3) either parent, and (4) neither parent?Assume independent assortment.
In corn, the cross WW ee FF × ww EE ff is made. The three loci are linked as follows:Assume no interference. a. If the F1 is testcrossed, what proportion of progeny will be ww ee ff? b. If the F1 is selfed, what proportion of progeny will be ww ee ff?
