Answer 1

Answer #1

Given that all the F1 progenies produce violet eggplant which is not present in either of the parents. So the mode of inheritance is Co-dominance. When we perform test cross we get the violet colour and white colour progenies in 1:1 ratio.

(Observed - Expected)2 Expected ˋ亡-

	Observed(O)	Expected (E)	(O-E)	(O-E)²/E
Violet	160	157	3	0.057325
white	154	157	3	0.057325
Total	314			0.11465

So the Chi-square value is 0.114

the degree of freedom is given by the number of phenotypes - 1

There are two phenotypes that we observed in the cross. So the degree of freedom f is 2-1 = 1

So for the degree of freedom 1 when the p-value is 0.05 CHi-square value is 3.84 which is greater than the observed chi-square value. So out hypothesis correct

In cucumbers, dull fruit (D) is dominant over glossy fruit (d), orange fruit (R) is dominant over cream fruit (r), and bitter cotyledons (B) are dominant over non-bitter cotyledons (b). The three characters are encoded by genes located on different pairs of chromosomes. A plant homozygous for dull, orange fruit and bitter cotyledons is crossed with a plant that has glossy, cream fruit and non-bitter cotyledons. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. a. Give the phenotypes and their...

In a certain plant, a dominant allele for one gene, R, produces round fruit and the recessive allele, r, produces oblong fruit. A dominant allele of a second gene, Y, produces yellow flowers and the recessive allele, y, produces white flowers. The two genes are linked on chromosome IV. A plant ( ry / ry ) with normal chromosomes is crossed to a plant (R Y/R Y) homozygous for a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes IV and VIII. The presence of...

3-3. In the fruit fly, Dichaete (D) is a dominant autosomal mutation that affects wing shape; it is lethal when homozygous. Ebony body, e, and rose eye, r, are recessive mutations also located on the same chromosome. Dichaete flies were crossed to pure-breeding ebony, rose flies. Among the F1 were Dichaete progeny with normal body and eye color. Female Dichaete F1 were test-crossed to ebony, rose males, with the results listed below. (Show your work!) A.

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....

You are investigating two traits in fruit flies controlled by one autosomal dominant gene each. The B gene controls for body color (B=black or b=brown), while the r gene controls for body sculpture (R=rugose or r=smooth). After crossing heterozygous rugose black flies with homozygous smooth brown flies, you obtain an F1 generation of 100% rugose black flies. 1. What are the dominant alleles? 2. What are the genotypes of the two parent flies to perform a dihybrid cross? 3. Of...

using spss and write conclusion and steps 2. The color of fruit for plant "X" is determined by two alleles A and a. When two plants with orange fruits (Aa) are crossed the following phenotypic results are present in the offspring: 27 red fruit (AA), 59 orange fruit (Aa), 24 yellow fruit (aa). So you suspect this is an incomplete dominance case, which means the phenotypic ratio should follow 1:2:1 ratio. Using the data collected to test for this hypothesis....
