You're studying a population of supersized redwood trees. You notice that their height is determined by three genes: X, Y, and Z. Each functional allele (capital letter) adds equally to height. XX:YY:ZZ individuals are 600 feet tall, while xx:yy:zz individuals are 300 feet tall. Given this information, draw the phenotypic distribution of the offspring that result from a cross between individuals with genotypes XX:Yy:zz and Xx:yy:ZZ.

Answer #1

Answer-

In a cross between XXYyzz and XxyyZZ, the height of the offspring is given below:

XXYyZz = 500 feet

XxYyZz = 450 feet

XXyyZz = 450 feet

XxyyZz = 400 feet

The explanation is given below:

Senotype XXYYZZ 600 feet tall Genotype xxyy az 300 feet tall difference = 300 feet 6 dominant alleles give add 300 feet to 30

    1.) The height of a type of bean plants is determined by five unlinked genes called A, B, C, D, and E. Each gene has two alleles: additive (uppercase letter) and nonadditive (lowercase letter).   A.) How many phenotypic classes would you expect? B.) The shortest plants are 130 cm. The tallest plants are 220 cm. Estimate how many centimeters each allele contributes to the height difference. C.) The genotypes are known for two bean plants. Plant 1 is genotype AABbccDdEE....

    7. If the Fz generation were produced, what proportion of the offspring would you expect to produce 14 pound fruits? a. 1/16 b. 128/256 c. 56/256 d. 47/128 e. 1/256 8. When two 12 pound F2 trees were crossed they produced offspring which all produced 12 pound fruit. However, when these offspring were crossed randomly, the fruit produced weighted from 4 to 20 pounds. What can you say about the possible genotypes of the original F2 trees? 65 AJ. Jones...

  • A plant called blue-eyed grass normally produces blue flowers. However, plants producing white flowers also occur,...

    A plant called blue-eyed grass normally produces blue flowers. However, plants producing white flowers also occur, because an allele for the gene coding for the protein that produces the blue pigment is non-functional. This white-flowered allele (W) is dominant to the blue-flowered allele (w), but generally occurs at very low frequency in populations. Suppose you crossed a homozygous dominant plant with a homozygous recessive plant, and the result is 16 seeds. If you plant these, assuming simple Mendelian genetics, how...

    6. In tigers, a dominant allele (W) is responsible for the expression of the normal orange pigment. Individuals that inherit twe recessive alleles (w) lack the normal orange pigment in their fur, appearing white with black stripes. A pair of normally colored parewis produces a cub that is white with black stripes and scab that is orange with black stripes. What are the possible genotypes of the cube? b. What are the possible genotypes of the parents? 6. Explain your...

    17.You are a geneticist studying the population genetics of Monarch butterflies. You are particularly interested in one gene for which the species has two alleles: B and b. Upon examining the alleles present in 100 individuals, you find that the B allele is very common, with an allele frequency of .6. Therefore, you calculate that there are a total of _______ b alleles present in the population. Group of answer choices A) 60 B) 80 C) 100 D) 120 E)...
