Question

Help with some homework questions please? (show work if you could)

1. A heterozygous pea plant that is tall with yellow seeds, TtYy, is allowed to self-fertilize. What is the probability than an offspring will be either tall with green seeds or dwarf with yellow seeds? 2. A dihybrid cross between two red-flowered & tall plants, RrTt, produces 365 red and tall, 95 red and short, 101 white and tall, 25 white and short offspring. Use the chi- square test to determine if these satisfy the Mendelian ratios expected for this type of cross 3. A recessive allele in mice produces offspring that are primarily yellow in color. Unfortunately, there are other complications during gestation and not all embryos survive to birth. A breeder has a large population of heterozygous mice she breeds together and gets 138 tan (normal) mice and 19 yellow ones. What percentage of homozygous mice died before they were born?

Explanation / Answer

1) Tall plant - TT.

Dwarf plant - tt.

Yellow seeds plant - YY.

Green seeds plant - yy

Dwarf with green seeds plant - ttyy.

Tall with yellow seeds plant - TtYy.

Self crossed occurs, then TtYy X TtYy.

Gametes formed TY, Ty, tY and ty   TY, Ty, tY and ty

Next generation

Toatal number of offsprings - 16.

Tall with yellow seeds plant - 9.

Tall with green seeds plant - 3.

Dwarf with yellow seeds plant - 3.

Dwarf with green seeds plant - 1.

The probability of tall with green seeds plant = 3/16 = 0.187 = 18.7%.

The probability of dwarf with yellow seeds plant = 3/16 = 0.187 = 18.7%.
