Chromosome 3 of corn carries three loci (b for plant color booster, v for virescent, and lg for liguleless). A test-cross of triple recessives with F1 plants heterozygous for the three genes yields progeny having the following genotypes:
+ v lg 325
b + + 275
b + lg 128
+ v + 112
+ + lg 74
b v + 66
+ + + 22
b v lg 18

4. You are studying three genes in corn and performed a three-point cross. The three genes are green (V) vs Viniscent (V) seedlings, blue (Pr) vs red kernels (pr) and white (B ) or brown (bm) leaf midrib color. The table below list the offspring resulting from a testcross with a female F1 heterozygote. Type of gamete (NR, SCO, DCO Phenotype Progeny Gamete from F1 heterozygote Virescent seedling red 101 kernel Red kernel 175 Red kernel, brown midrib 259 Virescent...
Three genes with recessive mutant phenotypes are located on the same chromosome in maize: waxy endosperm (wx), shrunken endosperm (sh), and virescent seedling (v). A plant with all three mutant phenotypes is crossed with a true-breeding, wild-type plant. Resulting F1 plants are then backcrossed to the parental mutant line to produce the following progeny: Waxy Shrunken Virescent Number wx sh + 89 + + v 92 + + + 1482 wx sh v 1475 + sh + 480 wx +...
Three genes with recessive mutant phenotypes are located on the same chromosome in maize: short stem (ss), defective endosperm (de), and virescent seedling (v). A plant with all three mutant phenotypes is crossed with a true-breeding, wild-type plant. Resulting F1 plants are then backcrossed to the parental mutant line to produce the following progeny: Waxy Shrunken Virescent Number ss + + 290 + de v 282 ss de + 89 + ...
1. You have a plant with three different genes, a, b, and c. These genes are on the same chromosome and c is in the middle. The distance between a and c is 6 map units and the distance between c and b is 14 map units. You have a plant, heterozygous for all three genes as shown below: a C F + D You cross this plant in a test cross and collect 1000 progeny plants. (48 points) How...
Assignment #1 1. You have a plant with three different genes, a, b, and c. These genes are on the same chromosome and c is in the middle. The distance between a and c is 6 map units and the distance between c and bis 14 map units. You have a plant, heterozygous for all three genes as shown below: ac FFD You cross this plant in a test cross and collect 1000 progeny plants. (48 points) How many progenies...
1) (3 pts) The following two recessive genes are known for corn: brittle endosperm (b) and glossy leaf (g). Two true-breeding plants with contrasting phenotypes are crossed (both plants are homozygous for both genes). The Fi offspring are all wild type. Then, an F1 plant is test-crossed with a brittle/glossy parent, and the following offspring are obtained: 16 238 wild type glossy brittle glossy, brittle 254 25 (a) Explain your reasoning as to why these data indicate that the two...
A heterozygous trihybrid corn plant is test crossed and the following progeny are oduced. The mutant traits-booster (b), silkless (s), liguleless (1) - are recessive to er wild-type (+) alternatives. (Hint: The wild-type alternatives (+) for each of the three mutant traits can be named B, S, and L, respectively.) (6 points) Note: This is a three point cross. Show all your work to get full credit. You will get partial credit for any work that is correct even if...
THIS information pertains to Questions 6-7: In corn, 3 genes (P. Su and Tls) are linked on a chromosome as shown below: Su Tls 12 m.u. | 18 m.u. At each gene, two alleles exist with the mutant allele recessive to the wild type allele. A true- breeding individual with mutant phenotype for gene P is crossed to a true-breeding individual with mutant phenotype for Su and Tls. pttx o su TIS 6. The Fl is test-crossed. Assuming no interference,...
3. In humans, the following three loci are located on the long arm (q) of chromosome 7: mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase isoforms a and b (MDHA, MDHb)" glucuronidase isoforms i and 2 (GUS1, GUS2) histone isoforms + and -(H,H) Their relative map positions are: MDH 35 GUS 45 A female whose mother was homozygous for MDHA, GUS2 and Hand whose father was homozygous for MDHb, GUS1 and H produces a sample of 1000 ova via hormonal treatment Question: Give the expected...
A purebred sweet corn plant that produces purple and smooth kernels pollinates a purebred plant that produces yellow and wrinkled kernels. When the F1 was testcrossed, four types of kernels on the cobs were observed in almost equal proportions: purple and smooth, purple and wrinkled, yellow and smooth, and yellow and wrinkled. Which of the following statement(s) are TRUE? I. The F1 plants can only produce purple and wrinkled kernels when selfcrossed. II. If the parent that produces yellow and...
