Hardy-Weinberg Problem:

There are 1000 petunias at the arboretum. In petunias, yellow flower color is dominant to white. There are 150 white-flowered plants in the arboretum. What are the percentages of each genotype for this group of flowers?

An experiment to determine the inheritance of flower color crossed two plants. A true breeding plant with purple flowers is crossed with a true breeding plant with white flowers. All the offspring (F1 generation) are white. The F1 plants are self-fertilized and produce the following progeny. 310 white flowered plants 90 plants with purple flowers. A. What are your assumptions for this problem. What is your hypothesis? B. Use a Chi-square test to determine whether those numbers fit a Mendelian...

In the tomato, flower color is determined by alleles of a single autosomal gene. Flowers are found in three colors: Violet, blue and white. When truebreeding violet-flowered plants are crossed with truebreeding white-flowered plants, the result is all blue-flowered plants. What would you predict to be the phenotypes among 240 progeny plants if the blue-flowered plants are crossed with violet-flowered plants? 60 violet, 120 blue, 60 white 240 violet 240 blue 120 violet, 120 blue 120 blue, 120 white 180...

1. Assume that there is a single gene, w, that determines flower color in runner beans. There are two alleles for this gene: w1 and w2 . The w1 homozygotes have white flowers and w2 homozygotes have red flowers. True-breeding white-flowered plants are crossed to true-breeding red-flowered plants, producing all pink flowered F1 progeny. Female flowers of the F1 progeny are then fertilized by pollen from true-breeding white-flowered plants. What proportion of the progeny from this last cross will have...

In snapdragons, the plant height gene and the flower color genes are located on different chromosomes. Tall (T) is dominant to dwarf (t). Red flowers (FR) are incompletely dominant to white (FW), with the hybrid being pink. A homozygous tall-white is crossed to a homozygous dwarf-red,. The F1 plants are then self-fertilized to produce an F2 generation. a. What is the genotype and phenotype of the F1? b. What proportion of the F2 will have pink flowers? c. What proportion...

In pea plants, the allele for purple flowers ( W ) is dominant to the allele for white flowers ( w ). To determine whether a plant with purple flowers is homozygous or heterozygous with respect to flower color, the plant should be crossed with another pea plant with what genotype and phenotype with respect to flower color?
