Incomplete dominance is observed in snapdragon flower color; homozygous dominant individuals appear red, homozygous recessive individuals appear blue, and heterozygous individuals appear purple. Of the 60 plants in your snapdragon patch, 25 have blue flowers, 30 have purple flowers, and 5 have red flowers. What is the observed frequency of the dominant allele?

A snapdragon plant has red, pink, or white flowers, inherited in an incomplete dominance pattern. It’s height is inherited in a dominant/recessive pattern. It can come in tall (T) or dwarf (homozygous recessive) varieties. What is the ratio expected if you cross a pink-tall (Tt) plant with a pink-short (tt) plant? 1 red tall: 1 red dwarf: 2 pink tall : 2 pink dwarf : 1 white tall : 1 white dwarf 1 red tall : 1 red dwarf :...

1.      In snapdragons, red flower color (CR) is incompletely dominant to white flower color (CW). The heterozygote has pink flowers. Normal broad leaves (LB) are incompletely dominant to narrow, grass-like leaves, (LN). The heterozygote has an intermediate leaf width. If a red-flowered, narrow-leaved snapdragon is crossed with a white-flowered broad-leaved one, what will be the phenotypes in the F1and F2generations, and what will be the proportions of the different classes?        (Draw a branching diagram to provide the answer)

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.

Flower color in pea plants exhibits complete dominance as the purple allele is completely dominant over the white alleles. A) Out of 276 pea plants, 273 have purple flowers. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, calculate the Expected allele frequencies. B) A group of students counts 552 pea plants. Based on the expected allele frequencies, how many should have purple flowers and how many should have white flowers?
