In sweet peas, curly tendrils is dominant to straight tendrils, and blue flowers is dominant to white flowers. A plant that is heterozygous for curly tendrils and heterozygous for blue flowers is crossed to another plant that is heterozygous for curly tendrils and has white flowers.
Which of the following is correct about the offspring of this cross?
There are two correct answers. Each correct answer is worth 50 points. Select both answers for full credit.
| a. |
3/8 of the offspring will have curly tendrils and blue flowers |
|
| b. |
3/8 of the offspring will have straight tendrils and white flowers |
|
| c. |
3/16 of the offspring will have straight tendrils and blue flowers |
|
| d. |
1/8 of the offspring will have straight tendrils and blue flowers |
|
| e. |
1/8 of the offspring will have curly tendrils and white flowers |
|
| f. |
3/16 of the offspring will have curly tendrils and white flowers |
|
| g. |
9/16 of the offspring will have curly tendrils and blue flowers |
|
| h. |
1/16 of the offspring will have straight tendrils and white flowers |
Option 'a' and 'd' are correct.
Explanation -
Let's suppose dominant trait curly tendrils is controlled by 'C' (capital letter) gene and recessive trait straight tendrils is controlled by 'c' (small letter) gene.
On the other hand, dominant trait blue flowers is controlled by 'B' (capital letter) gene and recessive trait white flowers is controlled by 'b' (small letter) gene.
Now, the genotype of the parent, which is heterozygous for curly tendrils and heterozygous for blue flowers, should be - "CcBb". The genotype of the other parent, which is heterozygous for curly tendrils and has white flowers, should be "Ccbb".
Next part is described in the following pictures-


From the Punnett square we can see that out of 8 offsprings 3 will have curly tendrils and blue flowers [ one CCBb, two CcBb] and one will have straight tendrils and blue flowers [ccBb].

In garden peas axial flowers (A) are dominant over terminal flower (a). Two plants each heterozygous for this gene are crossed. What is the probability that first four offspring from this cross will have axial flowers?
In sweet peas, two genes (genes A and B) control flower color. The dominant alleles of both genes produce enzymes that function in the biochemical pathway shown to convert colorless precursors to a purple pigment. The recessive alleles do not produce enzyme. Therefore, at least one dominant allele of both gene A and gene B are required for purple flowers. Answer the questions about this biochemical pathway. ΑΑ, Αα BB, Bb Enzyme A Enzyme B Colorless precursor 1 Colorless precursor...
A plant called blue-eyed grass normally produces blue flowers. However, plants producing white flowers also occur, because an allele for the gene coding for the protein that produces the blue pigment is non-functional. This white-flowered allele (W) is dominant to the blue-flowered allele (w), but generally occurs at very low frequency in populations. Suppose you crossed a homozygous dominant plant with a homozygous recessive plant, and the result is 16 seeds. If you plant these, assuming simple Mendelian genetics, how...

a Punnett square. Be sure to show the genotypes,
phenotypes, and percentages for each cross.

In a particular plant, having short tendrils (T) is dominant to having long tendrils (t), and having yellow flowers (F) is dominant to having white flowers (f). Suppose two plants, one having alleles TtFf and the other having alleles ttFf are cross-pollinated. What is the probability that the resulting offspring will have long tendrils with yellow flowers?
C. In garden peas, one pair of alleles controls the height of the plant and a second pair of allele controls flower color. The allele for tall (T) is dominant to the allele for dwarf (t), and the allele for purple (P) is dominant to the allele for white (p). a. A tall plant with purple flowers crossed with a dwarf plant with white flowers produces 1/2 tall with purple flowers and 1/2 tall with white flowers. What is the...
12) In peas, the yellow seed color is dominant (YY or Yy) over the green seed color (vy). You have been given a plant that only produces yellow seeds and need to determine if the plant is YY or Yy. Which of the following crosses would be most effective for determining the genotype of your plant? A)your plant x a plant that produces only green seeds B)your plant x another plant with known genotype YY C)your plant x another plant...

e) 9; 9 3. In another plant species, the presence and type of hairs on the plant are controlled by epistatic interaction between two independently assorting genes. Gene C determines whether the plant has hairs (dominant) or not (recessive); Rene D determines whether the hairs are straight (dominant) or curly (recessive). In a cross between a straight-haired plant and a curly- haired plant, 1/4 of the offspring have no hairs. 3/8 have straight hairs,...
