A. Mendelian Genetics Questions 1. In pea plants a purple flower ( P ) is dominant and a white flower ( p ) is recessive. a. What is the genotype of a pure hreeding white plant? b. If a pure brecding purple plant is crossed with at pure breeding white plant, what phenotype is expected for the offspring? 2. In pea plants a tall plant (T) is deminant and a short plant ( t ) is recessive. a. Use a Punnett square to show the cross between two heterory gous tall plants. Parent genotypes: b. What would be the predicted genotype and phenotype ratios of the offipping? Cieastype Matid Fhrefype Matie 3. In hamsters, black hair ( B ) is dominant to brosin hair (b) and shott hair (H) is dominant to long hair (h). A black, long-haired hamster (Bbhh) is erossed with a brown, short-haired hamster (bbHh). a. What pereentage of the offspring will be brown with long hair? Use a Punnett square to show the genotype and phenotype ratios of the offspring. 4. In rabbits, white coaf color ( C a ) and black coat color ( C A ) are codominant, and both of these alleles are dominant over albino (c). Helerovygotes ( C C ) are spored. c. Use a Punnet square to show the genocype and phenotype ratios of the oflspring from a heterorygous black-coated rabbit and a bornorygous white-coated rabbit. Wivary or Rot Panoyer Rosit 5. In plants known as "four d'elocks", the allele for red fower color is incompletely deminast over the allele for white flower coloe. Heterorygous pink flewered four "elocks were allowed to self-pollinate. c. Use a Punnett square to show the genotype and phcnotype ratios of the offlspring. d. In theory, what pereeti of the offipping would be penk? Perecntage pink? 6. Skin color in humans is determined by a (ctadient fult itr the blanti). inberitance system, possibly involving as many as 9 genes. For simplicity let ins consider the inflwence of 2 genes: A and B , where the dominant allele (upper case A or B) darkens skin colot. Suppose a woman who is AABb reprodnces with a man who is Aabb: b. List all of the possible genetypes of the pametes that could be produced by each parent. c. Use a Punnet square to show the genathpe ratio of the oflispring. .
