Two double heterozygous normal appearing corn plants for genes A (albino) and D (dwarf), where the mutant phenotype is recessive for each gene, were crossed. What is the expected frequency of plants with a Green Dwarf phenotype in their offspring?

Expert Solution

the genotype of the parents is AaDd and they are albino dwarf. since it is given that the mutant phenotype is recessive, green would have a genotype aa, and the dwarf would have a genotype of DD or Dd.

the punnet square for the progeny genotype would be as shown in the table below. the yellow highlighted ones are Albino dwarf (9/16), blue are albino tall (3/16) green are green dwarf (3/16) and the grey highlighted one is green tall (1/16). So, the expected frequency of green dwarf offsprings is 3/16 = 0.1875 or 18.75%

AD	AADD	AADd	AaDD	AaDd
Ad	AADd	AAdd	AaDd	Aadd
aD	AaDD	AaDd	aaDD	aaDd
ad	AaDd	Aadd	aaDd	aadd

6. Tall tomato plants are produced by the dominant allele, D, and dwarf plants by its recessive allele, d. Hairy stems are produced by a dominant allele, H, and hairless stems by its recessive allele, h. A dihybrid tall, hairy plant is test crossed. The following F1 offspring were produced: 118 tall, hairy plants 121 dwarf, hairless plants 112 tall hairless plants 109 dwarf, hairy plants a. What are the genotypes of the parents? b.

Genetic analysis has shown that three recessive genes d (dwarf), e (enlarged trunk) and f (fine leaf) are all found on chromosome #1 of apple. When a plant that was heterozygous for each of these markers was testcrossed, the following 1000 progenies were obtained: wild type- 130 (+++) fine leaf- 19 (++f) enlarged trunk- 2 (+e+) enlarged trunk, fine leaf – 350 (+ef) dwarf -362 (d++) dwarf, fine leaf -1 (d+f) dwarf, enlarged trunk -16 (de+) dwarf, enlarged trunk, fine...

A man (Bob) is heterozygous for Aa Bb Cc, where the genes show independent assortment: He does not have a known phenotype, and neither does their mother; but their father does. (A third eye). We know it has to be associated with one of the three given loci. He has 3 three children (1 boy and 2 girls) with a woman who is also phenotypically normal, of which one girl has a third eye. Based on this information, what type...

Two pea plants are crossed. One is homozygous for white flowers and the other is heterozygous for purple flowers. Both are heterozygous for being tall plants. In pea plants, tall is dominant to short, and purple flowers are dominant to white. Fill out the table below for the probability of each possible phenotype. Report probability as a decimal rounded to four places (e.g. 0.1250, not 1/8 or 12.5%). Phenotype Probability tall purple __________ short purple __________ tall white __________ short...

Suppose an agricultural scientist plants two different types of corn seed to test the claim that they produce the same average yield. The seeds are planted on eight randomly selected plots of land, each of which has one half of the plot planted with Type 1 seed and the other half planted with Type 2 seed. Calculate a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean difference between the yield for Type 1 seed (Population 1) and Type 2 seed (Population...
