Wheat kernels can be red, brown, or white. When true breeding reds are crossed with true breeding whites, all the offspring are brown. When these F1s are crossed you get the following results: 1883 Red kernels 1232 Brown kernels 197 White kernels There are varieties of brown, however, that are also true breeding. State a genetic hypothesis for inheritance of kernel color and test the above data for your hypothesis.

Expert Solution

The observed values i.e. 1883 : 1232: 197 almost fit to 9:6:1 ratio, which indiates that the kernal colour is driven by Duplicate genes with cumulative effect interaction. In this type of gene interaction the dominanat allele at boht loci determines the full trait color, where as the recesseive alleles at both loci determines color phenotypes and dominant loct at either of loci will exhibit intermiediate phenotype.

Null hypothesis: The observed values are not deviating from the expected Duplicate genes with cumulative effect ratio i.e. 9:6:1.

Test static:

Categories	Red	Brown	White	Total
Observed values (O)	1883.00	1232.00	197.00	3312
Exptected Ratio (ER)	9	6	1	16
Exprected Values (E)	1863	1242	207
Deviation (O-E)	20	-10	-10
D^2	400	100	100
D^2/E	0.214707	0.080515	0.483092	0.778315
X^2	0.778315
Degrees of freedom	3-1=2

Inference: The calculated chisquare value i.e. 0.77 is less than the table value i.e. 5.99 at 0.05 probability and 2 DF, hence the null hypothesis is accepted which means that Duplicate genes with cumulative effect the kernel color.

A true-breeding plant with red flowers was crossed with a true-breeding plant with white flowers. The F1 progeny all had a new flower color, pink. The F1 plants were inter-crossed, and produced 44 red, 135 pink, and 61 white flower plants. (4 pts.) What is the most likely mode of inheritance being exhibited in these phenotypes. State your hypothesis and provide your reasoning, which can also include why other modes of inheritance are unlikely (process of elimination). Do not assign...

A true breeding red eyed fly with long bristles was crossed to a true breeding white eyed fly with stubble bristles. All F1 progeny are red eyed with stubble bristles. An F1 female is crossed to a tester male and the following numbers of progeny are observed: 56 red eyed, stubble bristles; 72 red eyed, long bristles; 61 white eyed stubble bristles; and 68 white eyed, long bristles. You are asked to perform a chi-squared test for this result. 1....

A true breeding swan flower plant with smooth petals is crossed with a true breeding swan flower plant with constricted petals. The offspring of this cross all have smooth petals. This indicates that 1) the offspring do not have a constricted allele in their genotype 2) smooth petals are dominant and constricted petals are recessive 3)constricted and smooth petals are not controlled by alleles 4) the F2 generation will have all smooth petals 5) constricted petals are dominant and smooth...

Individuals from two separate true-breeding strains of white deer mice are crossed yielding all grey offspring. White is recessive to gray color based on crossing mice from each strain with a grey mouse. Which of the following would best explain this result? a. lethal alleles b. multiple alleles c. epistasis d. complementation e. incomplete dominance

A mouse from a true-breeding population with normal gait was crossed to a mouse displaying an odd gait called “dancing.” The F1 animals all showed normal gait. If dancing is caused by homozygosity for the recessive allele of a single gene, what proportion of the F2 mice should be dancers if you cross two F1 mice? 25% 50% 75% 0% 33%

You cross a true-breeding dark orange flowered poppy with crinkly petals to a true-breeding white-flowered poppy with smooth petals. The F1 poppies are light orange with smooth petals. In the F2 generation you get 201 orange crinkly poppies; 400 light orange smooth poppies; and 199 white smooth poppies. Explain this observation using all appropriate terminology. Also provide a breeding diagram that clearly links genotypes to phenotypes. This is all that is given.

6. Two true breeding varieties of plants are crossed in a two-factor cross. One parent has red axial flowers and the other had white terminal flowers. All F1 individuals had red terminal flowers. The F1 offspring are then crossed to produce the F2 offspring. a. Which traits are dominant? Which are recessive? What are the genotypes of the F1 individuals? b. If 300 F2 offspring were counted, how many of them would you expect to have red, axial flowers. Show...
