Blue-eyed Mary is a small wildflower whose petals may have one of three colors: blue, pink, or white. Petal color is determined by the action of two independently assorting gene loci: 

Deposit pigment (D/d) 
- D (fully dominant) = deposit pigment in petals
- d (fully recessive) = do not deposit pigment in petals; petals are white 
Blue pigment (B/b) 
- B (fully dominant) = pigment deposited in petals is blue 
- b (fully recessive) = pigment deposited in petals is pink

A (3). A plant breeder crosses blue-eyed Mary plants with white flowers with other ones that have pink flowers. All of the many F₁ offspring of this cross have blue flowers. What were the genotypes of the white and pink parents? Please show your work.          

B (3). The breeder then crosses two of the blue-flowered F₁ offspring from part A. What are the proportions of blue-, pink-, and white-flowered blue-eyed Mary plants that we should expect to see among the F₂ offspring of this cross? Please show your work.

Assume you are studying some species of flower that comes in three different colors: red, pink, and white. You know that color is determined by a single locus with two alleles with incomplete dominance. You count 124 red flowers, 62 pink flowers, and 30 white flowers. What are the allele frequencies and is the population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Calculate the χ2 test statistic and p-value.

Labrador retriever dogs have three coat colors: black, brown and yellow. The color of the pigment deposited in the hairs is determined by a gene with two alleles (B or b). The B allele codes for black pigment and is dominant to the b allele which codes for brown. Another gene with two alleles (E or e) determines if the pigment created will be deposited into the hairs. If both copies (ee) are recessive, no pigment will be deposited (regardless...

Users may order one or more pizzas, where each pizza may be either: small, medium or large. Small pizzas cost $5, medium pizzas cost $8 and large pizzas cost $12. All pizzas come on a tomato base (for our pizza shop, this will be the only option), and will have the topping cheese by default, at no extra cost. Users may choose up to a maximum of four additional toppings (bringing the total to five) from the following list, where...

Every morning Mary randomly decides on one of three possible ways to get to work. She makes her choice so that all three choices are equally likely. The three choices are described as follows: • Choice A (Drives the highway): The highway has no traffic lights but has the possibility of accidents. The number of accidents on the highway for the hour preceding Mary’s trip, X, follows a Poisson distribution with an average of 2. The time (minutes) it takes...
