In squash purple seeds (P) are dominant over white (p). This gene is also on a separate chromosome from the fruit shape and colour genes. If you cross a white round purple seeded plant (WWddPp) with a white disc fruit white seeded plant (WwDdpp) how many of the 496 progeny will be white, disc shaped, purple seeded? _________ x 496 = ________ white, disc shaped with purple seeds.

Answer #1

IN SQUASH, INDEPENDENTLY ASSORTING GENES ARE PRESENT AND WE HAVE TO FIND THE NUMBER OF WHITE,DISC SHAPED WITH PURPLE SEEDS. SO FIRST WE SEE THE GAMETES THEN WE DRAW PUNNET SQUARE AND WILL FIND THE NUMBER OF PROGENY.

    Assume that white is the dominant color over yellow in squash. If pollen from the anthers of a heterozygous white-fruited plant is placed on the pistil of a yellow-fruited plant, show, using ratios, the genotypes and phenotypes you would expect the seeds from the cross to produce.

    29, In fruit flies, red eyes are dominant over white eyes. The gene for eye color (R) is found on the X chromosome (X^R). Females have 2 X chromosomes and males are XY. Fill in the following (case sensitive!): Genotype of a white eyed female: Possible female gametes; separate gametes with a comma (,): Genotype of a red eyed male: Possible male gametes; separate gametes with a comma (,): In fruit flies, red eyes are dominant over white eyes. The...

    Flower colour in a plant species is determined by two genes, gene B and gene P. The gene products of these genes are enzymes that convert a white substrate to an intermediate blue substrate and then to the final purple product. Note: Enzyme P can only use the Blue substrate to make the purple product. White---GeneB----> Blue -----GeneP----> Purple If you test cross a dihybrid, what proportion of the progeny will be White Blue or purple?

    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...

    Please provide details: White fruit color in summer squash is governed by a dominant gene (W) and colored fruit by its recessive allele (w). Yellow fruit is governed by an independently assorting hypostatic gene (Y) and green by its recessive allele (y). When dihybrid plants are crossed, the offspring appear in the ratio of 12 white : 3 yellow : 1 green. What fruit color ratio is expected from the cross of WwYy to Wwyy? 1/2 white, 1/4 yellow, 1/4...
