1. An organism with the genotype AABBCCDD is crossed with an organism with the genotype aabbccdd. For now, we'll only think about the A and the B genes. In the F2 generation, what proportion of the offspring would you expect to show the dominant phenotypes for both A and B?

2. In the F2 generation, what proportion of the offspring would you expect to be aaBbCCDd?

3. In the F2 generation, what proportion of the offspring would you expect to show the dominant trait for exactly 3 of the 4 genes?

Answer.

3).

A_B_C_ dd = 3/4 * 3/4 * 3/4 * 1/4 = 27/256

A_B_ cc D_ = 3/4 * 3/4 * 1/4 * 3/4 = 27/256

A_bb C_D_ = 3/4 * 1/4 * 3/4 * 3/4 = 27/256

aa_B_C_D_ = 1/4 * 3/4 * 3/4 * 3/4 = 27/256

Dominant phenotype for three genes out of four genes = 27/256 + 27/256 + 27/256 + 27/256 = 108/256 = 0.421

Answer all 3 parts of the question. a) In radishes, the plants can be tall (allele T) or dwarf (allele t). Tall is dominant. Root color can be red (allele RR), white (allele RW), or pink (heterozygote). A radish that is true-breeding for both red roots and tallness (RRRR TT) is crossed with a radish that is true-breeding for both white roots and being dwarf (RWRW tt). Write the genotype and phenotype for the F1 generation. b) Assume the two...

a.) There are genes C and D that are 16 map units apart. The cross parent genotypes are: CC:DD x cc:dd. What would be the proportion of gametes C:D in the F1 generation? b.) There are genes C and D that are 20 map units apart. The parental cross was CC:dd x cc:DD and F1 individuals were crossed, Cc:Dd x Cc:Dd. What is the proportion of the F2 offspring that have the CC:DD genotype?

In corn, the trait for yellow seedlings (g) is recessive to green seedlings (G), and waxy endosperm (w) is recessive to starchy endosperm (W). The two genes assort independently. A cross between a homozygous green, waxy plant and a homozygous yellow starchy plant produced F1 progeny that were all phenotypically green, starchy. a) If F1 individuals are interbred (self-pollinated), what phenotypes and in what proportions (ratios) would you expect in the F2 generation progeny b) List the expected F2 genotypes...

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...
