In monkeyflower, an allele for yellow flowers (Y) is dominant over an allele for white flowers (y). At an independently assorting locus, an allele for entire petals (E) is dominant over an allele for fringed petals (e). A plant that is homozygous for yellow and entire petals is crossed with a plant that is white and fringed. A resulting F1 plant is then crossed with a plant that is white and fringed, and the following progeny are produced: 20 yellow and entire 20 yellow and fringed 30 white and entire 30 white and fringed Use a chi-square test to compare the observed numbers with the expected numbers from the cross. Determine the degrees of freedom, and the p-value associated with the test, and answer the following questions:

1. The value for the chi-square test statistic is:

2. There are ____ degrees of freedom:

3. Use the p-value that you obtained to answer the following:

The expression of yellow petals in sunflowers is due to the dominant allele Y. The homozygous recessive (y) has orange petals. Plant height is controlled by another gene with two alleles, T and t, with Tall (T) being dominant to short (t). Two individuals that are heterozygous for both traits are crossed, the number of offspring of each phenotype is recorded in the table below. 1. The assumption is that these two genes assort independently. To test this, complete a...

Tatuo Aida investigated the genetic basis of color variation in the Medaka (Aplocheilus latipes), a small fish found naturally in Japan (T. Aida. 1021. Genetics 6:554-573). Aida found that genes at two loci (B, b and R, r) determine the color of the fish: fish with a dominant allele at both loci are brown, fish with a dominant allele only at the B locus are blue, fish with a dominant allele only at the R locus are red and fish...

1) One parent has yellow flowers, which is the dominant allele Y. The second parent has white flowers, the recessive allele y. If the offspring are all yellow, what is the genotype of each parent? 2) A plant is homozygous for the recessive gene "a" causing the plant to be short. What is the genotype and the phenotype of this plant? (In your answer, be very clear about which is the genotype and which is the phenotype). 3) The allele...

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?

In tulips pink petals with white stripes are dominant over yellow, plain petals. A tulip with pink petals is crossed with on with white stripes and all the offspring have pink petals with white stripes. Assign letter of the alphabet to each allele and draw a Punnett square for the cross described above. If these tulips are allowed to self fertilize what do you predict the offspring will look like? Complete a second Punnett square to support your answer.

In dogs, straight tail results from an allele (Ta) which is dominant to allele (ta) for curved tail. Large paws result from an independently assorting allele (P) which is dominant to an allele for small paws (p). Small pawed dog homozygous to straight tail is crossed with a homozygous large pawed dog with curved tail. All the F1 pups have large paws and straight tails. An F1 dog is crossed with a stray dog that has small paws and curved...

In a particular plant, a recessive allele is associated with white flowers (w). The dominant allele (W) results in purple flowers. Two plants are crossed. The offspring are made up of 175 plants with purple flowers and 161 plants with white flowers. Using the allele symbols shown above, the genotypes of the two parents are Ww x ww. This mating is an example of a/an ?

In the datura plant, purple flower color is controlled by a dominant allele P. White flowers are found in plants homozygous for the recessive allele p. A heterozygous purple-flowered plant is self-fertilized by its own pollen and produces five seeds. a) Probability than any one seed will grow into a white-flowered plant? b) Probability that at least two of the five seeds will grow into white-flowered plants?
