Tall tomato plants are produced by the action of a dominant allele D, and dwarf plants by its recessive allele d. Hairy stems are produced by a dominant gene H, and hairless stems by its recessive allele h. A dihybrid tall, hairy plant is test crossed. The F1 progeny were observed to be 118 tall, hairy: 121 dwarf hairless: 112 tall hairless: 109 dwarf hairy. a. Diagram this cross. b. What is the ratio of tall:dwarf and of hairy:hairless

Some sweet-pea plants have purple flowers and others have white flowers. A homozygous variety of sweet pea that has purple flowers is crossed with a homozygous variety that has white flowers. All the F1have purple flowers. When these F1 self-fertilize, the F2 appear in a ratio of 916 purple to 716 white. a. Give genotypes for the purple and white flowers in these crosses.
a. 1 dominant allele will contribute 120/10 = 12 cm to the base height of the plant.b. The height of the parent plant 1 Genotype of the parent plant 1 – D1D1D2D2D3D3d4d4d5d5 The height of the parent plant 2 Genotype of the parent plant 2 – d1d1d2d2d3d3D4D4D5D5Contributing alleles – D4D4D5D5. The height of the plant without any contributing alleles would be 80 cm. The plant with genotype d1d1d2d2d3d3D4D4D5D5 has 4 contributing allele each of which contributes 12 cm to the base. Hence, the height of the plant with genotype d1d1d2d2d3d3D4D4D5D5 would be 80 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 128 cm. c. Parents – D1D1D2D2D3D3d4d4d5d5 × d1d1d2d2d3d3D4D4D5D5 Gametes – D1D2D3d4d5 × d1d2d3D4D5 F1 generation – D1d1D2d2D3d3D4d4D5d5 The height of the plants of F1 generation = 80 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 140 cm Hence, Genotype of the F1 = D1d1D2d2D3d3D4d4D5d5 Phenotype of…

Leaf color and stem length in a certain species of diploid flowers are controlled separately by the R and S locus. The R allele (dominant) results in red leaves while r results in yellow leaves. S (dominant) results in short stems and s results in long stems. A cross is performed between a true breeding long-stemmed red plant and a true breeding short- stemmed yellow plant. a. What is the genotype and phenotype of the resulting F1 plants? b. The resulting F1 plants are crossed with long-stemmed plants with yellow leaves. 100 offspring are collected from this cross, and the following phenotype counts are observed. phenotype long red short red count 43 8 long yellow short yellow 40 What are the corresponding genotypes for each of the four classes of the offspring from this cross? c. Using the information above, determine the genotype of the gametes contributed by "parent A" to each of the resulting offspring. Label the gamete types as parental or nonparental.
