You have three different pure-breeding strains of the same flowering plant species.
Strain f has purple flowers, while strains g and h have white flowers.
The F2 is a result of allowing the F1 the self fertilize.
| Parental Cross | F1 |
F2 phenotype ratios |
| f (purple) x f (purple) | 100% purple | 100% purple |
| g (white) x g (white) | 100% white | 100% white |
| h (white) x h (white) | 100% white | 100% white |
| f (purple) x g (white) | 100% purple | 3 p : 1 w |
| f (purple) x h (white) | 100% purple | 3 p : 1 w |

- A homozygous strain of plants (P1) has a mean height of 12 cm. A second homozygous strain of the same species (P2) has a mean height of 36 cm. When plants from the two strains are crossed together, the F1 plants have mean height of 24 cm. The F2 generation from the F1 X F1 crosses shows a wide range of heights; the majority are like the F1 plants, but 4 of 1000 are only 12 cm high (shortest), and 4 of 1000 are 36 cm high (tallest). 1. How many gene pairs are involved? a. 2 b. 4 c. 6 d. 8Two 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 1/64Tallness (T) in a certain plant is dominant to short (t), while red (R) flower color is dominant to yellow (r). The heterozygous condition results in orange (Rr) flower color. A short plant with red flowers, is crossed with a plant homozygous for tallness and yellow flowers. What would be the genotype and phenotype of the F1 individuals? ttRr—short and orange ttrr—short and yellow TtRr—tall and red Ttrr—tall and yellow TtRr—tall and orange
- A cross in plants is done between the parents CCDD and ccdd to create a dihybrid F1 plant. This F1 plant was subsequently test crossed to a ccdd plant and you find the the progeny as follows: 40% CD 40% cd 10% Cd 10% cD If you did a similar experiment in which the parents were changed to ccDD and CCdd, what percentage of the test cross progeny would have the cd phenotype? 40% 80% 10% 20%A is dominant over a and B is dominant over b. Genes A/a and B/b assort independently. The parental cross (P) is between true- breeding (homozygous) strains (AA bb x aa BB). The resulting F1 offspring would be [Select ] A F1 x F1 cross gives the F2 generation. The ratio of phenotypes in the F2 generation can be described as [ Select ] In the phenotypic ratio, what number refers to individuals that are: dominant for both traits? [ Select ] recessive for both traits? [Select ] To what phenotypes do the "3"s in the ratio refer? [ Select ] > >Radishes may be long, round, or oval, and they may bered, white, or purple. You cross a long, white variety witha round, red one and obtain an oval, purple F1. TheF2 shows nine phenotypic classes as follows: 9 long, red;15 long, purple; 19 oval, red; 32 oval, purple; 8 long,white; 16 round, purple; 8 round, white; 16 oval, white;and 9 round, red.a. Provide a genetic explanation of these results. Besure to define the genotypes and show the constitutionof the parents, the F1, and the F2.b. Predict the genotypic and phenotypic proportionsin the progeny of a cross between a long, purple radishand an oval, purple one.
- A particular flower can be blue, red, or white. A pure-breeding red-flowered plant is crossed with a pure-breeding white-flowered one. The F 1 are then crossed to produce an F 2 generation. Which of the following phenotypic ratios in the F 2 indicate that flower color in these two strains is controlled by two genes? A)2:1 B)3:1 C)1:2:1 D)9:3:4Dominant 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?A dihybrid cross of two plants is done and the seed pod shape is examined. The seed stock was pure, both always made triangular pods. The pod shape is known to be controlled by two independently assorting genes. You cross the plants and produce an F1 generation, and all the seed pods are triangular. Then you cross the F1 plants to each other in three independent experiments and the F2 data is presented in Table 1. Explain the type of epistasis that is event in this data. Suggest a molecular mechanism that can explain this type of gene interaction.

- 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 IONSA strain of plants has a mean height of 24 cmcm. A second strain of the same species from a different geographical region also has a mean height of 24 cmcm. When plants from the two strains are crossed together, the F1F1 plants are the same height as the parent plants. However, the F2F2 generation shows a wide range of heights; the majority are like the P1P1 and F1F1 plants, but approximately 4 of 1000 are only 12 cmcm high, and about 4 of 1000 are 36 cmcm high.A researcher at ASU is studying the exotic Unicorn Fairy plant. The plant has three genes of interest with the dominant alleles being T-tall, H=hairy leaves and P=purple flowers. The three genes are located in different chromosomes. A trihybrid plant is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for T and homozygous recessive for the other two genes. What is the probability of getting offspring that is tall, has hairy leaves and white flowers? 9/64 5/8 8/64 O 3/64 O 3/16
