8. You are interested in two plant genes: one for plant height and one for flower color. You cross a tall white plant to a short red plant. All of the progeny are tall pink plants

What is the genotype of the tall white parental plant?
What is the genotype of the short red parental plant?
What is the genotype of the F1 tall pink plant?
What six phenotypic classes of plant would result from a cross between two of the tall pink plants?

1 4

2 5

3 6

Of the six phenotypic classes, which are “true-breeding”?
What ratio of the six phenotypic classes would you expect from the above (d) cross if the two genes are unlinked? You do NOT have to do a big Punnett square for this: do each trait individually and then multiply.

In the common bluebell, two linked, autosomal genes control flower color and plant height. With the given information, find the expected F1 generation phenotypes and the frequencies of the F1 generation. B (blue flowers) is dominant to b (white flowers) T (tall plants) is dominant to t (dwarf plants) If the crossover frequency between the two loci is 26%, what will the expected F1 phenotypes and their frequencies from the following cross: a) BT//bt x bt//bt b) Bt//bT x bt//bt...

Flower color in Orcish Thimbleweed (Anemone sarumani) is controlled by two genes. At the G locus, red flowers (G) is dominant to slate gray (g). At the W locus, colored flowers (W) is dominant to colorless (w). Plants with the genotype G-W- are red, ggW- are slate gray, and --ww are white. A true-breeding plant with red flowers is crossed with a true-breeding plant with white flowers, producing F1 offspring with slate gray flowers. What is the expected phenotypic ratio...

You conduct a QTL mapping experiment to find the genes that contribute to variation in flower color in a plant species. You find that for genetic marker A, the mean flower color is significantly darker in individuals with the A1 allele than for individuals with the A2 allele. What do you conclude?

You are studying three linked genes in snapdragons. The flower color locus is in the center. There are 11.3 cM between the flower color locus and the plant height locus. There are 10.7 cM between the flower color locus and the leaf type locus. The coefficient of coincidence is 0.8. Pure-breeding tall, red-flowered plants with fuzzy leaves were crossed to pure-breeding dwarf, blue-flowered plants with smooth leaves. The F1 were testcrossed. Calculate the proportion of the testcross progeny that are...

You are interested in mapping the genetic distance between two phage genes. You know from your genetics course that relative gene distance in both bacteria and eukaryotes can be determined by finding the recombination frequency of the two genes.

You are studying a plant that requires a period of cold treatment before it will flower. You subject a plant to cold treatment, return it to temperatures favorable for growth, and then compare the chromatin state of the DNA taken from: (1) meristem cells from a shoot that originated before the cold treatment; (2) meristem cells from a shoot that developed after the cold treatment; (3) ovule egg cells from a flower on stem 1; (4) seeds from a flower...

You are a researcher who is interested in three genes in drosophila: The a gene, the b gene and the c gene. You think the genes may be linked, so you decide to do a cross using a true-breeding a+/b+/c+ fly and an a/b/c fly. The F1 generation is all a+/b+/c+. However, when the F1 generation is bred to a true-breeding a/b/c fly, it yields the following offspring phenotypes: 589 a+/b+/c+ ; 603 a/b/c ; 183 a+/b/c ; 176 a/b+/c+...
