In tomatoes, yellow flowers (Wf) are dominant over white flowers (wf), and yellow fruit (r) are recessive to red fruit (R). A cross was made between true-breeding plants with yellow flowers and yellow fruit, and plants with white flowers and red fruit. The F1 generation plants were then crossed to plants with white flowers and yellow fruit. The following results were obtained:

75 white flowers, red fruit

205 white flowers, yellow fruit

216 yellow flowers, red fruit

37 yellow flowers, yellow fruit

a. What is the genotype of the F1 plant? Please write your answer is such a way that you show which alleles are present on each homologous chromosome. (3 points)

b. How many plants with yellow flowers and yellow fruit should we have expect to observe from these results? (3 points)

c. In testing to determine if these two traits are linked, what is the chi-square statistic associated with the test of independence? (3 points)

d. What are the degrees of freedom and probability associated with this statistic? Are these two traits linked? (3 points)

e. What is the distance in terms of map units between the two genes that control these traits? (3 points)

In the California poppy, an allele for yellow flowers (C) is dominant over an allele for white flowers (c). At an independently assorting locus, an allele for entire petals (F) is dominant over an allele for fringed petals (f). A plant that is homozygous for yellow and entire petals is crossed with a plant that is white and fringed. The resulting F1 plants are then testcrossed and the following progeny are produced: 54 yellow and entire, 58 yellow and fringed,...

In watermelons, bitter fruit (B) is dominant over sweet fruit (b), and yellow spots (S) are dominant over no spots (s). The genes for these two characteristics assort independently. A homozygous plant that has bitter fruit and yellow spots is crossed with a homozygous plant that has sweet fruit and no spots. The F1 are crossed to produce the F2. (a) What are the phenotypes with corresponding phenotypic ratios of the F2? (b) If an F1 plant is backcrossed to...

You've discovered a new plant species in which yellow fruit color (Y) is dominant to green fruit color (y), and round fruit shape (R) is dominant to long fruit shape (r).

You've discovered a new plant species in which yellow fruit color (Y) is dominant to green fruit color (y), and round fruit shape (R) is dominant to long fruit shape (r).

In cucumbers, orange fruit color (R) is dominant over cream fruit color (r). A cucumber plant homozygous for orange fruit is crossed with a plant homozygous for cream fruit. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents, the F1, and the F2. Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of a backcross between the F1 and the orange-fruited parent. Give the genotypes and phenotypes of a backcross between the F1 and...

In cactus, long spines are dominant to short and pink flowers are dominant to white. A true-breeding short-spined cactus that is a carrier for flower color is crossed with a cactus that is heterozygous for both traits. This cross produces 200 seeds. How many of these seeds would you expect to germinate as short-spined, pink-flowered cacti?\ 25 75 100 150

In watermelons, bitter fruit (B) is dominant to sweet fruit (b), and yellow spots (N) is dominant to no spots (n). The two genes assort independently. A homozygous plant with bitter fruit and yellow spots is crossed with a homozygous plant with sweet fruit and no spots. F1 plants are intercrossed to produce the F2 generation: a. Give proportions of different phenotypes expected in the F2 generation b. If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the bitter, yellow spotted parent,...

In four-o-clock plants, red flower color (FR) is incompletely dominant over white flowers (FW) and the heterozygous individuals have pink flowers. a. If a red-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant, what would be the genotypic and phenotypic frequencies of the F1? b. If two of the F1 individuals were crossed, what phenotypes and in what frequencies would appear in the F2?
