What is the outcome (in Mendel's work) of crossing two pure-breeding plants with antagonistic (contrasting traits)? only one of the traits will be seen in the progeny both traits will be seen in the progeny both traits will be seen in the progeny in a 3:1 ratio none of the above

Solutions

Expert Solution

the correct answer is- both traits will be seen in the progeny in a 3:1 ratio

Explanation-

Contrasting traits are those that are opposite to one another. For example the contrasting trait of wrinkled pod shape of pea plant is smooth pod.

Let us take an example of the genotypes of smooth pod shape(YY), where the Y allele is homozygously dominant. Contrasting to that the genotype of the wrinkled pod is represented by yy genotype, where the y homozygously recessive.

When YY parent is crossed with yy parent,

The result is-

YY x yy

F1 generation= Yy(all the F1 offsprings will be heterozygous and smooth pod)

When the F1 progenies are self fertilised, they yield the followings:

Y

y

Y

YY(smooth pod)

Yy (smooth pod)

y

Yy(smooth pod)

Yy(wrinkled pod)

Thus when looking at the phenotypic characteristics, no. of smooth pod pea plant= 3

                                                                                               No. of wrinkled pod pea plant=1

This yields a phenotypic ratio of 3:1

Two autosomal genes control horn color in dragons. Pure-breeding gold-horned dragons were mated to pure-breeding silver-horned dragons. All of the F1 were gold. The F1 were intermated and the F2 generation consisted of 147 gold, 16 silver and 93 bronze. Conduct a chi-square test to test the appropriate type of epistasis. In the chi-square test, what is the expected number of gold-horned dragons? Round to two decimal places. Conduct a chi-square test to test the appropriate type of epistasis. In...

Mabari are a breed of dog native to the small country of Ferelden. Two pure-breeding mutant Mabari were crossed: The male had small ears (wild-type ears are large) and the female had purple fur (wild-type fur color is brown). All F1 dogs (male and female) had small ears and brown fur. Assuming independent assortment, what proportion of the F2 individuals are expected to be phenotypically wild type for both traits?
