I had to cross a homozygous dominant smooth, yellow seeded plant with a homozygous excessive wrinkled, green seeded plant, and this is what I came up with:

A. The P1 genotypes ___YY___ x ___yy__
B. Possible gametes are ___Y___, __Y___, ___y__ and __y___

*Then I had to use the Punnett square and complete the cross answering the questions, and this is what I came up with:

Y Y
Yy Yy
Yy Yy

The genotypes? ___Yy___
What are the phenotypes of all of the F1 individuals? ___________

Then I started to have problems with the following:

I'm suppose to be a helper in Mendel's pea garden and he has given me a sack of pea seeds, and told me to count the smooth seed coats and wrinkled seed coats. I had counted 690 smooth (S) and 230 (s). These are the F2 plants.

a. The phenotypic ratio is ________: _________
b. The P1 genotypes are _______ x ________
c. What is the genotype of the F1 generation? ____________
d. Cross two of the F1 plants to see if the answer is correct.

  • Phenotypic and Genotypic Ratios Under Mendel's Law

    The word genotype means the genetic characteristics of the organism. When the pea plants with restricted yellow pods are crossed with restricted yellow pods, all the progenies resulting from this cross has restricted yellow pods.

  • Chi squared analysis

    two plants, each heterozygous for both characteristics, are testcrossed to homozygous recessives, and their progeny are combined to produce the following totals: colored green 100 colored yellow 97 colorless green 103 colorless yellow 100

  • To know genotypes and interference through gene map

    Since % recombinants = map distance Hence, for gene MDHa & GUS2 locus : 10 = No. of recombinants for crossing over between MDHa & GUS2 / 1000 * 100 Or, No. of recombinants for crossing over between MDHa & GUS2 = 100

  • Genetic Linkage Analysis

    What you would do is cross a fly that is heterozygous for both traits (CcWw) with one that is homozygous recessive for both traits (ccww). You would then look at the traits found in the offspring.

  • genotypes of the parent plants

    In this cross it is most likely that the parental genotype of the purple plant was PP (homozygous dominant) and the white plant was pp (homozygous recessive).

  • Test crosses

    Since your problem involves purple pea plants, we are dealing with only one trait...color. The expressed purple color on the pea plant is purple. As it turns out, purple is a dominant color in pea plants.
