A variety of pure-breeding snapdragons produces a tall plant
with green seeds (WWSS). A second variety of pure-breeding
snapdragons produce a short plant with white seeds (wwss). The two
varieties are crossed, and the resulting seeds are collected. All
of the seeds are green and when planted, they produce all tall
plants (WwSs). These tall F1 plants are allowed to self-fertilize.
The results for seeds and plant height in the F2 generations are as
follows. What is the Х 2
value, and the degrees of freedom for this experiment?

3. Yellow seeds is a dominant characteristic in pea plants. Pure breeding pea plants for yellow seeds were crossed with pure breeding pea plants for green seeds. The F1 generation all exhibited yellow seeds. An F1 plant was crossed to a green plant. Of 800 F2 plants, how many are expected to exhibit green seeds? Show work for full credit.
19. In a cross between a pure-breeding plant that produces tan lentils and a pure-breeding plant that produces gray lentils, all of the FI progeny plants produce brown lentils. When these are allowed to self-pollinate, the F2 plants are found to produce lentils in the following colors and ratios: F2 progeny: brown gray green tan 57 18 13 a.

3B. A novice plant breeder is trying to creat a "superdwarf" variety of petunia to use in planters. She starts by crossing two different, pure breeding dwarf varieties together. To her surprise, all the offspring of this cross are tall! When these Fl plants were interbred, the following results were seen in the offspring: 93-tall 68 - dwarf (0 - superdwarf) She comes to you, a genetics expert for an explanation of what is happening a) Explain the inheritance of...
