Please Show Work! 1. Mendel did experiments where he kept track of the color of the flowers. First, he created two true breeding lines ( F 0 parental generation): parents with purple flowered pea plants produced offspring with purple flowered pea plants, and parents with white flowered pea plants produced offspring with white flowered pea plants. When he crossed purple with white flowered pea plants from these true-breeding lines, all of the offspring were purple. Answer the following questions, label them A-I. A. What is the gene coding for in this example (what traits are we looking at)? B. What are the two alleles and what do they represent (provide the letters, dominant/recessive and colors? C. What percentage of plants in the F 1 generation (also called First generation offspring) are white? D. What is the phenotype of the F 1 generation? E. When members of the F 1 generation are crossed what is the resulting genotypic ratio? F. If the plants are crossed 2000 times from the F 1 generation how many would be white? G. What is the phenotypic ratio of the F 2 generation? H . What would be the genotypic ratio if members of the F 1 generation are backcrossed with individuals from the true white flowered breeding line called F 0 generation? I. If this was done 4000 times how many of the plants would be purple? You must show all your work .
