You are studying the inheritance of fruit shape in cucumbers and have determined that there are two genes involved that interact in the following way where B inhibits A: Long --------------------------------> Bulbous B
A is pointing in the middle of long and bulbous with B blocking A

In radishes, one gene governs fruit shape, with the phenotypes long, round, or oval, and another independently assorting gene governs color, either red, white, or purple. You cross a long, white variety with a round, red one and obtain an oval, purple F1. The F2 show nine phenotypic classes as follows: 9 long, red 15 long, purple 8 long, white 19 oval, red 32 oval, purple 16 oval, white 16 round, purple 8 round, white 9 round, red. What is...

2) Two true-breeding varieties of cucumbers (long and miniature) have been obtained. Long cucumbers are on average 12 inches upon reaching maturity, whereas short ones are about 2 inches long. Performing a cross between these varieties, you find that the F1 cucumbers are all around 7 inches. What single-locus mode of inheritance would lead to this outcome? In the F2 generation, you obtain cucumbers in five discrete size categories: 2, 4.5, 7, 9.5, and 12 inches. Is this what you would have expected...

6. In Cross 1, a yellow eyed, long wing fruit fly from a pure breeding strain is mated to a red eye, short wing fruit fly from a pure breeding strain. All of their offspring (F1) had red eyes and long wings. In Cross 2, one of the F1 offspring is mated to a fly with yellow eyes and short wings, and this cross gave the following F2 population: 194 flies with long wings and red eyes, 796 flies with...

You're studying a population of supersized redwood trees. You notice that their height is determined by three genes: X, Y, and Z. Each functional allele (capital letter) adds equally to height. XX:YY:ZZ individuals are 600 feet tall, while xx:yy:zz individuals are 300 feet tall. Given this information, draw the phenotypic distribution of the offspring that result from a cross between individuals with genotypes XX:Yy:zz and Xx:yy:ZZ.

You are studying two genes in corn that you believe may be linked: seed shape and and kernel color. You cross two true-breeding corn plants (one with red kernels and round seeds to one with yellow kernels and wrinkled seeds) and receive all red- kerneled, round seed offspring. You then perform a test-cross using the F1 offspring and a yellow-kerneled, round seed corn and receive the following result: 610 red kernels, round seeds 90 yellow kernels, round seeds 100 red...

‘A’ at gene 1 is completely dominant to ‘a’, and ‘A’ encodes stiff ears, while ‘a’ encodes floppy ears ‘B’ at gene 2 is completely dominant to ‘b’ and ‘B’ encodes tall individuals while ‘b’ encodes short individuals. The genes do not interact and do assort independently. Given this, what genotypic and phenotypic ratios do you expect from an AaBb vs. AaBb cross?

In a certain plant species, inheritance of fruit size is controlled by four genes, each of which has two alleles that show incomplete dominance and each of which contributes equally to an individual’s phenotype. Plants with the largest fruits have the genotype AABBCCDD, while those with the smallest fruits have the genotype aabbccdd. a) How many possible genotypes for fruit size are there in this species? b) Based on genotype alone (ignoring environmental factors), how many possible phenotypes for fruit...

You are studying hyperactivity in mice. You know that this phenotype is dominant and is determined by just one gene (H) but you need to discriminate between the following alternatives: mitochondrial inheritance, maternal effect, regular nuclear inheritance. You cross female mice from a true-breeding hyperactive strain to males from a true-breeding super-chill strain. All the F_1 progeny is hyperactive. Can you at this point eliminate any of the three modes of inheritance? You cross these hyper F_1 mice to each...

The dominant allele for this gone (B) produces wild type body color Vestigial: a recessive...

Sex influenced inheritance: Use the Canvas exercise Sex Influenced Inheritance. Design your own “relationship” or mating between two parents, but there must be at least one “B” bald allele and one non-bald “b” allele in the mix. Give the Punnett square of this partnership (it may be larger than 4 squares depending on what you choose), and give their children’s genotype and phenotype percentages. Hint: treat this as a two trait cross for two independently-assorting genes. IMPORTANT: Describe the rationale...
