A peony plant with red petals was crossed with another plant having streaky petals. A geneticist states that 70% of the offspring resulting from this cross will have red flowers. To test this, 80 seeds from this cross were collected and germinated and 46 plants had red petals.

(a) Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 significance level to indicate the proportion of the hybrid plants with red petals differs from 70%? Use the P-value method in your test.

(b) What would a Type I error be in this case?

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...

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...

1)A homozygous tomato plant with red fruit and yellow flowers was crossed with a homozygous tomato plant with golden fruit and white flowers. The F1 all had red fruit and yellow flowers. The F1 were testcrossed by crossing them to homozygous recessive individuals, and the following offspring were obtained: Red fruit and yellow flowers41 Red fruit and white flowers7 Golden fruit and yellow flowers8 Golden fruit and white flowers44 How many map units separate these genes?

A tomato plant with large leaves and round fruits was crossed to a plant with small leaves and oblong fruits. The F1 consisted of plants with large leaves; about half of these plants made round fruits and the other half made oblong fruits. Two F1 plants (one with round fruits and one with oblong fruits) were then analyzed through further crossing. The results were: Cross F1 plant #1 with round fruits × parent with round fruits F1 plant #1 with...

A pure breeding tall plant with smooth seeds was crossed with a pure breeding short plant with wrinkled seeds. All the F1 plants were tall with smooth seeds. Two of these F1 plants were crossed and four different phenotypes were obtained in the 320 plants produced. How many tall plants with wrinkled seeds should you expect to find.
