Sesame plants (that produce sesame seeds) have either 3 pods per node or one pod per node. 1-pod per node is dominant. At a second, independently sorting locus, normal leaf is dominant to wrinkled leaf.
A. What would the genotypes for the parents be given the following offspring: 150 1-pod normal; 145 1-pod wrinkled; 52 3-pod normal; 49 3-pod wrinkled? (2pts)
B. In a cross between two parents heterozygous at each locus, you get the following data: 878 1-pod normal; 315 1-pod wrinkled; 295 3-pod normal; 112 3-pod wrinkled. Is this within the range of what is expected? Use a Chi-square goodness of fit test to support your answer (show your work; 5pts).

3) (1.5 pts) Elizabeth is married to John, and they have four children. Elizabeth has a straight nose (recessive) and is able to roll her tongue (dominant). John is also able to roll his tongue, but he has a convex (Roman) nose (dominant). Of their four children. Ellen is just like her father, and Dan is just like his mother. The other children-Anne, who has a convex nose, and Peter, who has a straight nose are unable to roll their...
(More Genetics Problems and Difficult Genetics Problems). MORE GENETICS PROBLEMS 1. When tall plants mate with dwarf plants, only tall plants occur in the offspring. Assign symbols and show the phenotypes and genotypes in the parental (P) and first filial generations for a cross between tall plants and dwarf plants that produces only tall plants. 2. Show the expected outcome when the F1 plants in problem #1 are crossed. Be sure to give both phenotype and genotype ratios for these...

UNIT GENETICS PROBLEMS #2: TEST CROSSES 1. In peas, green pods are dominant and yellow pods are the recessive trait. You have pea plants with green pods but you are unsure of the parentage of these plants. How would you determine the genotype of your green pod plants 2. Two black mice mate. Six of their offspring are black and two are white. (Black fur is dominant to white.) a· What are the genotypes of the parents....
QUESTION 3 A test cross is set up to establish the genotype of a plant with rounded peas. It is crossed with a plant that is homozygous for wrinkled peas. A round pea shape is dominant over the wrinkled shape. The offspring derived in the test cross exhibit a 50:50 ratio of wrinkled and round peas. What is the genotype of the parent in question? Homozygous for round pea shape. Heterozygous for pea shape. Homozygous for wrinkled pea shape. Heterozygous...
