C) Epistatic interaction type: Complete dominance at both gene pairs, but one gene, when dominant, epistatic to the other.
Phenotypic ratio Expected white:yellow:green = 12:3:1
Phenotypic ratio observed 218:58:20 ῀ 12:3:1
D) The expected number for different phenotype is
White= (296/16)*12= 222
Yellow= (277/16)*3= 55

The chi-square is 0.1417.
p-value is 0.93. The result is not significant at p< 0.05
E) Thus, null hypothesis ‘both sets of data are different’ rejected and alternative hypothesis ‘both sets of data are not different’ accepted.

Two independently assorting genes help determine fruit color in squash. At the first locus, the W allele codes for a dominant white phenotype, whereas the w allele allows colored squash. At the second locus, the allele Y codes for a dominant yellow phenotype, and the allele y codes for a recessive green phenotype. The interaction between these two genes is an example of dominant epistasis, with the W locus acting as the epistatic locus and the Y locus acting as...
4. In summer squash, fruit color and shape are controlled by two independently assorting genes as follows: Trait Gene Alleles Phenotypes Fruit color W W w White fruit yellow fruit Fruit shape D D d Disk-shaped fruit sphere-shaped fruit A homozygous White Disk plant has been crossed with a homozygous Yellow Sphere plant (this is the P1 generation). List the expected genotype and phenotype of the F1 plants? P1 WWDD x wwdd F1 WwDd Genotype: WwDd Phenotype: White, Disk If...

In pea plants, flower color and pea pod color are determined by two different genes. For flower color, purple is dominant over white. For pea pod color, green is dominant over yellow. Which of the following results would expect from a dihybrid cross? a. Mostly plants with purple flowers and green pea pods b. Mostly plants with purple flowers and yellow pea pods c. Mostly plants with white flowers and green pea pods d. Mostly plants with white flowers and...
In sweet peas, two genes (genes A and B) control flower color. The dominant alleles of both genes produce enzymes that function in the biochemical pathway shown to convert colorless precursors to a purple pigment. The recessive alleles do not produce enzyme. Therefore, at least one dominant allele of both gene A and gene B are required for purple flowers. Answer the questions about this biochemical pathway. ΑΑ, Αα BB, Bb Enzyme A Enzyme B Colorless precursor 1 Colorless precursor...

Assume that tail length in mice is a quantitative trait involving two genes, each with 2 alleles. One allele at each gene contributes to long tails, the other allele at each gene does not (small tails). The genes are located on different autosomes. Mice with 0 contributing alleles have tails that are 4 cm in length; mice with tails with 4 contributing alleles are 12 cm in length. Determine the phenotypic ratio from an F2 from a true breeding parent...
3.) In chickens, two genes control feather color—the R gene and the Q gene. The Rallele causes chickens to be red and the r allele causes chickens to be white. R is dominant to r. Likewise, Q codes for red and q codes for white. Q is dominant to q. If a chicken has just one dominant allele of either gene, it will be red. How many red and white chickens would expect in a cross between two chickens that...
15. You are studying com plants. You were able to determine that the gene for kernel color (C-colored and no color) and kernel waxiness (W = waxy and not waxy) are on the same chromosome and are 30 CM apart. You are ultimately interested in determining the potential phenotypic ratio if crossing over occurs. You start by crossing a male who is homozygous dominant for both genes with a female who is homozygous recessive for both genes. The F1 heterozygotes...
In a species of plant, two genes control flower color. The red allele (R) is dominant to the white allele (r); the color producing allele (C) is dominant to the non color producing allele (c). You suspect that either an rr homozygote or a cc homozygote will produce white flowers. In other words, rr is epistatic to C, and cc is epistatic to R. to test your hypothesis, you allowed heterozygous plants (RrCc) to self fertilize and count the offspring....
