a) Two genes are involved in flower color. When pure bleeding flowers with pink petals crossed with pure breeding flowers with white petals, F1 progeny is blue.
Let P_bb be the genotype of Pink flower
Let ppB_ be the genotype of White flower
P_bb (Pink) * ppB_ (White)
F1: PpBb (Blue)
Blue has dominant alleles of two genes because when blue crossed with pink, and when blue crossed with white, F1 progeny were Blue
b) Flower color is determined by the genes of the parents.
c) Genotype of Pink flower: P_bb
Genotype of White flower: ppB_
Parents : P_bb (Pink) * ppB_ (White)
F1 progeny : PpBb (Blue)
F1 Cross : PpBb * PpBb
Gametes of PpBb : PB, Pb, pB, pb
Gametes of PpBb: PB, Pb, pB, pb
F2 Progeny :
PPBB (Blue), PPBb (Blue), PpBB (Blue) PpBb (Blue), PPBb (Blue), PPbb (Pink), PpBb (Blue), Ppbb (Pink), PpBB(Blue) , PpBb (Blue), ppBB (White), ppBb ( White), PpBb (Blue), Ppbb (Blue) , ppBb (White) , ppbb (Pink-white)
d) Out of 8, half are white. So genotypes of crossed F2 plants are Blue (PpBb) and White (ppBb)
PpBb (Blue) * ppBb (White)
Gametes of Parent 1: PB, Pb. pB, pb
Gametes of Parent 2: pB, pb
Progeny : PpBB (Blue),PpBb (Blue) , PpBb (Blue) ,Ppbb (Pink) , ppBB (White), ppBb (White), ppBb (White), ppbb (White)
Progeny phenotypic ratio : 3 (Blue) : 1 (Pink) : 4 (White)

Suppose you have a plant with petals that are normally blue. Suddenly you see some white-petaled plants. Cross 1: You cross the white with the blue and you get all an F1 population that is all blue. In the F2 generation you see a ratio of 101:33 blue to white-petaled plants. Another line of flowers shows pink petals. Cross 2: You cross the pink with the blue and once again the F1 generation shows all plants with blue petals. However,...

In a certain plant, flowers can be either white, red or blue. The following crosses were performed with different flower colour varieties: Cross 1: P: red x red F1: all red F2: all red Cross 2: P: blue x red F1: 148 blue, 149 red, 103 white Cross 3: P: blue x white F1: all blue F2: 221 blue, 79 red, 100 white Based on the crosses, how many genes control flower colour? Include a chi-square test to support your...
Normally, wild violets have yellow petals with dark brown markings and erect stems. Imagine you discover a mutant plant with white petals, no markings, and prostrate stems. Assume that the mutant phenotypes are due to the pleiotropic effects of a single gene where the wild-type allele is completely dominant to the mutant allele. If you cross the pure-breeding wild-type violets with the pure-breeding mutant violets and self the F1, how many different phenotypic classes will you have in the F2...
Question 2b) You are studying a flowering plant that produces remarkable bright green flowers in its wild type. Your colleagues have discovered two new mutant lines of this plant. One new line breeds true for a yellow flower color. Another new line breeds true for a blue flower color. Your group does the following crosses and makes these observations: yellow X green ⇒ F1 is all green ⇒ F2 75% green and 25% yellow blue X green ⇒ F1 is...
8. Challenge problem (20 marks) On a newly discovered island in the South Pacific, a geneticist found two distinct pure-breeding populations of frogs: Strain 1: the frogs have purple eyes and croak by uttering "rib-it" (utterers). Strain 2: the frogs have green eyes and croak by muttering "knee-deep knee-deep" (mutterers). She mated frogs from the two lines, producing F1 frogs that were all utterers with blue eyes. A large F2 generation then yielded the following ratio: 27/64 blue, utterers 12/64...

3. (50) Two different pure-breeding plants were crossed and F1 gave a wild-type which was test-crossed. The following numbers were obtained for F2, focusing on three unusual characteristics: height of the plant, color of the flower, surface of fruit: 150 completely wild type; 122 small, white, rough; 571 white, rough; 603 small; 36 rough; 29 smal, white; 4 white; 5 small, rough. a. What were the genotypes of the parental lines? b. Draw a linkage map for the...
1)When Gregor Mendel conducted his genetic experiments with pea plants, he observed that a trait’s inheritance pattern was the same regardless of whether the trait was inherited from the maternal or paternal parent. Mendel made these observations by carrying out reciprocal crosses: For example, he first crossed a female plant homozygous for yellow seeds with a male plant homozygous for green seeds and then crossed a female plant homozygous for green seeds with a male plant homozygous for yellow seeds.Unlike...

Information for Questions 1-4. Smurfs are imaginary creatures popularized by a 1980's television cartoon. You are likely familiar with the village of blue-bodied Smurfs recently revived by in a Hollywood movie. However, you may be unaware that there also once existed a neighboring village of white-bodied Smurfs. Typically, the blue and white- bodied Smurfs remained in isolation due to a vast mountain range separating their villages. One year, however, several...
6. In tigers, a dominant allele (W) is responsible for the expression of the normal orange pigment. Individuals that inherit twe recessive alleles (w) lack the normal orange pigment in their fur, appearing white with black stripes. A pair of normally colored parewis produces a cub that is white with black stripes and scab that is orange with black stripes. What are the possible genotypes of the cube? b. What are the possible genotypes of the parents? 6. Explain your...
