In a certain variety of onions, pungent smell (P) is completely dominant to subtle smell (p), yellow (A) is completely dominant to white (a), and large bulb (B) is completely dominant to small bulb (b). For the following crosses and results, what are the genotypes of the parents?

- pungent, large x subtle, large. 3⁄4 pungent, large; 1⁄4 pungent, small

- subtle, white x subtle, yellow 1⁄2 subtle, white; 1⁄2 subtle, yellow

- yellow, large x white, small 1⁄4 yellow, large; 1⁄4 white, small; 1⁄4 yellow, small; 1⁄4 white, large

- subtle, white, large x pungent, white, large. 1⁄2 pungent, white, large; 1⁄2 subtle, white, large

- subtle, yellow, large x subtle, yellow, small. all subtle, yellow, large

What phenotypic ratio is expected from a crossing an onion of genotype Pp Aa bb with an onion of genotype PP aa Bb?

Answer:

1). pungent, large (PPBb) x subtle, large (ppBb)= 3⁄4 pungent, large (PpB_); 1⁄4 pungent, small (Ppbb)

2). subtle, white (ppaa) x subtle, yellow(ppAa)= 1⁄2 subtle, white (ppaa); 1⁄2 subtle, yellow (ppAa)

3). yellow, large (AaBb) x white, small (aabb) = 1⁄4 yellow, large (AaBb); 1⁄4 white, small (aabb); 1⁄4 yellow, small (Aabb); 1⁄4 white, large (aaBb)

4). subtle, white, large (ppaaBB) x pungent, white, large (PPaaBB)= 1⁄2 pungent, white, large (PpaaBB); 1⁄2 subtle, white, large (PpaaBB)

5). subtle, yellow, large (ppAABB) x subtle, yellow, small (ppAAbb)= all subtle, yellow, large (ppAABb)

6).

PpAabb x PPaaBb –Parents

	PaB	Pab	paB	pab
PAb	PPAaBb (pungent, yellow, large)	PPAabb (pungent, yellow, small)	PpAaBb (pungent, yellow, large)	PpAabb (pungent, yellow, small)
Pab	PPaaBb (pungent, white, large)	PPaabb (pungent, white, small)	PpaaBb (pungent, white, large)	Ppaabb (pungent, white, small)
pAb	PpAaBb (pungent, yellow, large)	PpAabb (pungent, yellow, small)	ppAaBb (subtle, yellow, large)	ppAabb (subtle, yellow, small)
pab	PaaBb (pungent, white, large)	Ppaabb (pungent, white, small)	ppaaBb (subtle, white, large)	ppaabb (subtle, white, small)

pungent, yellow, large = 3/16

pungent, white, large = 3/16

pungent, yellow, small = 3/16

pungent, white, small = 3/16

subtle, yellow, large = 1/16

subtle, yellow, small = 1/16

subtle, white, large = 1/16

subtle, white, small = 1/16

Phenotypic ratio = 3:3:3:3:1:1:1:1

You can smell the odor of cooking onions from far away. You can smell the odor of cooking onions from far away. As onions are heated the volume of the gas causing the smell increases. The pressure of the gas which causes the smell is very high. The random movement with high velocities leads to diffusion of the gas particles. Since gas particles are very small, they can penetrate through large volumes of air.

In a certain species of flower, the red allele for flower color (R) is completely dominant to the pink allele (r). A completely recessive allele (d) at a second gene on a different chromosome allows pigment (color) to be actually deposited within flowers; the lack of pigment results in white flowers.

Based on the expected allele frequencies, how many should have purple flowers and how many should have white flowers?

A certain type of congenital deafness in humans is caused by a rare dominant allele. In a mating involving a deaf man and a deaf woman, could all their children have normal hearing? a. Yes, because traits assort independently. b. No, because children favor their parents. c. No, because it is dominant. Children always get the dominant alleles. d. Yes, assuming that the parents are heterozygotes. e. Yes, because it must be recessive if it's rare.
