Title: The genotype of a heterozygous blue flower and the phenotype of a white flower, respectively, is:
Post by: SAMH on Jan 8, 2013
4) In flowers, blue colour is dominant over white petal colour.
The genotype of a heterozygous blue flower and the phenotype of a white flower, respectively, is:

A) white and black   
B) Bb  and  bb   
C) Bb  and  white   
D) BB  and  bb

Hint for Question 4:
(a)  bb, the same lower case
(b)  BB, pure is the same as homozygous
(c)  Bb, heterozygous means one of each
(d)  bb, the recessive can only be written in one way
(e)  BB, genotype is the letters, the gene formula
(f)   blue; heterozygous is added to distract you
Locate the Logic word: phenotype

5) In a wild plant, white flowers are dominant while red is recessive.
The phenotype of a homozygous white flower and the genotype of a red flower, respectively, is:

A) Ww and  WW
B) WW  and  white
C) white  and  Ww
D) white and  ww

Hint for Question 5:
(a)  ww, any allele letters as lower case
(b)  Ww, heterozygous; letters must be different
(c)  WW, homozygous; letters must be the same
(d)  red; phenotype!
(e)  an impossibility: if red it has to be ww, homozygous; if it is heterozygous Ww, then it can't be red

6) If green is dominant to clear seed colour in a plant, then a cross between two plants that are heterozygous for green seed colour can be represented by:

A) P1 =  Gg  x  GG 
B) P1 =  GG  x  GG 
C) P1 =  Gg  x  Gg 
D) P1 =  GG  x  gg 

Hint for Question 6:
(a)  P1 =  ss  x  Ss   
(b)  P1 =  BB  x  bb   
(c)  P1 =  bb  x  Bb 

Information:

Once symbols are assigned, the next step is to use the information to correctly form the gene formula (genotype) of the parents. Please practice making the following parents. Before you attempt the multiple choice question check the Hint to evaluate your answers.

a) Make the parent generation of the homozygous tall tree pollinated by a heterozygous short tree. Shortness is dominant.
b) A yellow flower is recessive. Write the parent generation in a cross between homozygous blue and a yellow flower.
c) Brown hair is dominant to red hair. Make the parent generation between a red haired mother and a heterozygous brown haired father.

9) When conducting his research into the genetics of garden peas, Gregor Mendel crossed true-breeding, yellow-seeded plants with true-breeding, green-seeded plants. He observed that all the F1 generation had yellow seeds.

In the F1 generation, the allele for yellow seeds would have been found in:

A) about 50% of the female gametes and 50% of the male gametes produced by F1 plants
B) all the female gametes and none of the male gametes produced by the F1 plants
C) none of the male or female gametes produced by the F1 plants
D) all the male gametes and none of the female gametes produced by the F1 plants
_____________________________ _____________________________ ________________________

11) If (Q) represents the gene for a dominant trait and (q) is the recessive allele, and if Qq mates with qq, then:

A) 50% of the offspring will be recessive
B) all offspring will be of the dominant trait
C) all the offspring will be of the recessive trait
D) 75% of the offspring will be of the dominant trait

In birds, black feathers are dominant over white feathers. A black hen is mated to a black rooster. Her eggs were saved. Forty-two chicks hatched in an incubator: thirty-one were black and eleven were white. The gene formulas for the two parents and their offspring are:

A) P1 =  Bb  x  bb ; F1 genotypes: Bb, bb, Bb, bb
B) P1 =  BB  x  Bb_; F1 genotypes: BB, BB, BB
C) P1 =  BB  x  bb ; F1 genotypes: BB, bb, Bb

18) In mice with complete dominance in coat colour, brown (B) is dominant to white (b).  The genotypes BB, Bb, and bb represent:

A) two genotypes
B) two phenotypes
C) three phenotypes
D) one phenotype
_____________________________ _____________________________ ________________________
 
19) Mendel's Law of Segregation separates alleles in forming gametes. Beginning with the genotype (Ww), how would these genes be distributed among four sperm cells?

A) all W or all w
B) many ways as a matter of chance
C) WW, Ww, Ww, ww
D) two containing w and two containing W
_____________________________ _____________________________ ________________________

25) If incomplete dominance exists between red and white snapdragons, then the correct genotype of a pink flower and the phenotype of a red flowered-parent, respectively, is:

A) RW:RR
B) RW:parent → red
C) pink:RR
D) WW:RR

Hint for Question 25:
After reading (sr) gen 2, did you change the format in how you assigned symbols?

(a) BB   (b) green   (c) YY   (d) YB or BY
(e) No,the individual would be green (BY)
If you wrote the Y first in YB you would continue to do so all through the Punnett square.
BY would be equally correct, but then the B would be written first for all green BY's in the question.

26) If there is a lack of dominance among black and white horses, then the percentage that will be black if a white horse is mated with a gray horse is:

A) 0%
B) 75%
C) 50%
D) 25%

Hint for Question 26:
Note that in codominance or incomplete dominance, it is not necessary to use homozygous for black or white. Since black can only be BB, a heterozygous BW would have the phenotype gray.

29) A pea plant that is heterozgous tall and having homozygous green pods has the genotype and phenotype, respectively, of

Question 29 options:
   
A) TTGG: height → dwarf; pod colour → green
B) TTGg: height → tall; pod colour → yellow
C) ttgg: height dwarf; pod colour → yellow
(This is a true description of ttgg, but does it answer the question?)
D) TtGG: height → tall; pod colour → green

Hint for Question 29:
If the questions represent an individual parent, each genotype should have two alleles for the first trait, and two alleles for the second trait [4 letters in total].

(a) TTGG; if the symbol T for tallness is written first, then continue with T or t's first all throughout the question.
(b) TtGg; both traits exhibit the heterozygous condition
(c) ttgg; even if described as yellow dwarf, it is written ttgg as the tall trait has been indicated to be written first.
(d) TTGG; even though green is described first, TTGG
(e) Ttyy
(f) ttGg; are you getting better at forming the genotype in dihybrid inheritance?
(g) ttgg (homozygous recessive); used to test if the other parent is homozygous or heterozygous for a trait.

Good luck :)

The picture says that this is a heterozygous cross.  That would be an Rr x Rr (allele1 as R on your picture would therefore be incorrect).

Answers:
3 (rr)
8 (r)
2 (Rr)


Red = 2 "doses" of R (RR), pink = one dose of R (Rr), and white = no doses of R (rr)
G3 (Rr) x G2 (Rr):
Phenotypic ratios:
white:pink:red

Question. 27 - In case of incomplete dominance, pink flowers are produced from the mating of pure four-oclock plants. Choose the correct allele combination number from the legend for each of the following.******* I think the answer is as follows, because in incomplete dominance the letters(symbols) need to be in upper case************

genotype 4 - Answer is 5 WW
allele 2 - Answer is 9 W
genotype 3 - Answer is 4 RW

#27 I believe the answer is actually in order 382. look at the details of the question. I believe the line "In a case of incomplete dominance, pink flowers are produced from the mating of pure four-o'clock plants" is there as a distractor to fool you. This line is irrelevant to the question as PURE "true breeding" parents would have homozygous genotypes. The questions information however says P1 Generation is a heterozygous cross not homozygous.  and the given information for each parent is R. therefor parents to be heterozygous would be Rr. The question would clearly state otherwise that the P1 generation was a Incomplete Dominant Heterozygous cross to begin with. that additional line about incomplete dominance has no relevance to this question if you think about it. The Parents aren't "pure" they are heterozygous.... just my analysis of the question... will know once my assignment is graded  :sweating:
