Mendel performs a cross using a true-breeding pea plant with round, yellow seeds and a true- breeding pea plant with green, wrinkled seeds. What is the probability that offspring will have green, round seeds? Calculate the probability for the F1 and F2 generations.
Pea PlantsIn pea plants, a round-seed shape (R) is dominant over a wrinkled-seed shape (r). A round-seeded pea plant was crossed with another round-seeded pea plant. What are the genotype(s) and phenotype(s) ratios of the F1 generation? Show all possibilities using Punnett squares. State the F1 generation genotypes and phenotypes.
type P = n! (p)* (q)"* х! (n - х)! Practice Problem: You cross a true-breeding pea plant with red flowers to a true-breeding pea plant with white flowers. All of your offspring have red flowers. Which gene is dominant? Why? What is the genotype of your offspring? You then cross the offspring to each other. What ratio do you expect? Why? You count 1000 plants and look at their flowers. Your results are as follows: 740 red 260 white Does this follow a simple Mendelian inheritance pattern? Why or why not? DADT 2 MEA SUDI ND D LUT IONS
In the common daisy, genes A and B control flower color. Both genes have a dominant allele (A or B) and a recessive allele (a or b). At least one copy of each dominant allele is required for flowers to be colorful instead of white. (Explain and Justify your answers) 21.1) Predict the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 progeny of a cross between two white-flowered plants, one homozygous AA and the other homozygous BB. A) AA bb, white B) aa BB, white C) Aa Bb, colorful D) Aa Bb, white E) aa bb, colorful 21.2) Predict the phenotypic ratio of the F2 progeny of a cross between two white-flowered plants, one homozygous AA and the other homozygous BB. A) 3 colorful : 1 white B) 9 colorful : 7 white C) 9 white : 7 colorful D) 15 white : 1 colorful E) 15 colorful : 1 white 21.3) The inheritance pattern of daisy flower color provides an example of what type of gene interaction?

Perform two consecutive crosses similar to those of Mendel for the following individual plants. Plants with round seeds (RR) are crossing with plants with wrinkled seeds (rr). After the first cross, cross the offspring together to generate F2 offspring. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ration of F2?
1) A cross is made between two plants differing in four independently-assorting gene loci, AABBCCDD x aabbccdd, to produce an F, which is then self-fertilized. If the capital letters represent alleles with a completely dominant phenotypic effect, (a) how many different genotypes are possible in the F;? (b) what proportion of the F; will be homozygous dominant for all genes? (c) what proportion of the F; would have an ABCD phenotype? 2) Would your answers to (a), (b), and (c) be different if the initial cross were AAbbCCdd x aaBBccDD?
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 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.
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 Mendel’s pea plants, axial (A) flowers are dominant over terminal (a) flowers. a. What is the genotype of a homozygus axial parent plant? b.

Phenotype: If the F1s are selfed, determine the following: e. F2 genotypes ____________________ __________________________________________ ______________________f. F2 Phenotypes ____________________ __________________________________________ ______________________g. What is the F2 genotypic ratio? h. What is the F2 phenotypic ratio?
On the basis of Mendel’s observations (i.e. Mendelian patterns), predict the results from the following crosses with peas. Show the results in terms of genotypes, phenotypes, and their proportions in the offspring. The progeny of a tall (dominant and homozygous) variety crossed with a dwarf variety. The progeny of (a) self-fertilized. The progeny from (a) crossed with the original tall parent. The progeny of (a) crossed with the original dwarf parent.
In pea plants yellow seed color, (GG) and round seed shape (WW) seeds are dominant traits, while green color or (gg) wrinkled shape (ww) seeds are recessive traits. You cross a pure breeding plant with yellow wrinkled seeds to a pure breeding plant with green round seeds to generate F1s. When you perform a reciprocal cross you get the same results. 9) You take an F1 male and an F1 female to generate F2 offspring. You take an F2 male with round and yellow seeds and mate them with an F2 female that has round green seeds. If these F2s produce 108 offspring, how many would be predicted to be green and wrinkled? a) 27 b) 3 c) 4 d) 7 e) 12
