Imagine you are given two tall plants, but you do not know their genotype (see Figure 16-12). There are three possibilities—they might both be TT or both Tt or one TT and the other Tt. Imagine you cross the two plants, wait for them to produce seeds, and then plant the seeds. If all resulting plants are tall, can you then determine what the genotypes of the two parents are? If approximately half the resulting plants are tall and about half are short, can you then figure out the genotypes of the parents?

A type of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) produces fruit in three possible colors: red, green, and orange. You cross a true-breeding orange-fruited plant with a true-breeding green-fruited plant, and all the F1 offspring are red. You intercross the red F1s, and the resulting F2 generation consists of 108 red-, 40 orange-, and 44 green-fruited plants. 1) What type of epistasis is acting (dominant, recessive, duplicate dominant, or duplicate recessive)? 2) Assign the phenotypes to a modified 9:3:3:1 ratio. (Do not just calculate the actual ratio of the phenotypes.) Red : _____Orange : _____Green: _____
In Mendel's genetic experiments many characteristics of the plants were quantified, such as their height (tall or short), flower position (axial or terminal), and seed color (colored or white). Suppose 100 plants are measured, and 37 are tall with axial flowers and colored seeds. Further, suppose a total of 26 plants have white seeds, 4 of them being short and 7 having terminal flowers. There are no short plants with terminal flowers, and the total number of short plants is 12. What is the probability a randomly selected plant will have flowers in the terminal position? Round your answer to THREE DECIMAL places. Also, double check your answer before posting. thank you
In corn, seedling color is determined by genes at two loci (C/c and D/d). Suppose that you cross a pure-breeding green seedling with a pure-breeding yellow seedling and obtain only green seedlings in the F1 generation. You then cross two of the F1 seedlings and obtain the following progeny for the F2 generation: 138 green seedlings, 33 virescent-white seedlings, and 10 yellow seedlings. What form of epistasis would explain these data?
In a genetic cross between a homozygous tall plant with homozygous purple flowers and a homozygous short plant with heterozygous purple flowers, how many short plants will you expect in the F2 generation if you sample 36 individuals? Both tall and purple are dominant.
In Mendelfruit plants, fruit may be either round (RR), long (rr) or oval (Rr). Cross two oval-fruit plants. What is the phenotypic ratio of the resulting offspring? (what do they LOOK LIKE?) Cross a round-fruit plant and an oval-fruit plant. Give the phenotypic ratio of the offspring.
In peas, tall is dominant over dwarf. If a plant homozygous for tall is crossed with one homozygous for dwarf : a. What will be the genotype(s) (use the initial of your last name) and phenotype (s) of the F1 plants? b. If the F1 is grown the next season, predict the possible genotypes and phenotypes. c. If you cross the F1 to the tall parent, what phenotype will result of the cross? What will be the ratio of the genotype? d. If you cross the F1 to the short parent, what phenotype will result of the cross? What will be the ratio of the genotype?
A plant geneticist is examining the mode of inheritance of flower color in two closely related species of exotic plants. The first species may have two pure-breeding lines—one produces a distinct red flower; and the other produces flowers with no color at all, or very pale yellow flowers. However, she cannot be sure. A cross of these varieties produces all pink-flowered progeny. The second species exhibits similar pure-breeding varieties; that is, one variety produces red flowers; and the other produces an albino or very pale yellow flower. A cross of these two varieties, however, produces orange-flowered progeny exclusively. Analyze the mode of inheritance of flower color in these two plant species.
Let us suppose that two plants are crossed (mated). One plant (female) is homozygous dominant and produces chlorophyll, and the other (male) is homozygous recessive and does not produce chlorophyll. These two plants are considered the parental, or P generation. What would be the possible genotypes and phenotypes of these two individuals? Fill in the table below with the parental generation's descriptional information. Table 6.1 Female Male Description Parental Generation Homozygous dominant P Generation Genotype gg Phenotype Green

You have an autotetraploid plant with genotype AAaa that undergoes self-fertilization. At least two copies of the dominant allele A are needed to obtain the dominant phenotype. At what frequency will progeny with the dominant phenotype appear? Type your answer as a fraction, with no spaces (e.g., 1/16).
Two genes of a flower, one controlling blue (B) versus white(b) petals and the other controlling round (R) versus oval (r)stamens, are linked and are 10 map units apart. You cross ahomozygous blue oval plant with a homozygous white round plant. The resulting F1 progeny are crossed with homozygouswhite oval plants, and 1,000 offspring plants are obtained.How many plants of each of the four phenotypes do youexpect?
Many of the color varieties of summer squash are determined by two different interacting genes A and B: AA or Aa gives white colored squash, aaBB or aaBb gives yellow squash, and aabb produces green squash. A plant producing white squash is crossed with a plant producing green squash. One half of the offspring produces white squash; the other half produces green squash. What is the genotype of the parent plant producing white squash? AAbb AABB AaBb Aabb AaBB
