6 CONCLUSIONS Experiment 1 1. What pea color is dominant? Recessive? How did you arrive at this conclusion? 2. Using C and c, what are the genotypes of the P 1 and F 1 plants? 3. What ratio of yellow and green peas would you expect in the F 2 generation? 4. By doing a Chi Square analysis on the F 2 data, can you confirm that these plants are a Mendelian F 2 Generation? Show your work. Experiment 2 1. What flower position is dominant? Recessive? How did you arrive at this conclusion? 2. Using P and p, what are the genotypes of the P 1 and F 1 plants? 3. What ratio of axial and terminal flowers would you expect in the F 2 generation? 4. By doing a Chi Square analysis on the F 2 data, can you confirm that these plants are a Mendelian F 2 Generation? Show your work. 5. In the natural setting, the trait that is most common is called the wild-type (dominance) and the rarer type is the mutant. With respect to Mendel s peas, green peas and axial flower position are the wildtypes. By examining your data from Experiments 1 and 2: a. Which allele is dominate (expressed)? b. Which allele is the wild type? c. Do mutations always cause an expressed gene (dominant) to become unexpressed (recessive)? Support your reason with data. Experiment 3 1. Do the genes for pea color and flower position exhibit Independent Assortment? How do you know this? 2. By doing a Chi Square analysis on the F 2 data, can you confirm that these plants are a Mendelian F 2 Generation showing Independent Assortment? Show your work

7 Experiment 4 1. What type of inheritance pattern is being exhibited in this experiment? How do you know this? 2. What are the genotypes of all the phenotypes? 3. By doing a Chi Square analysis on the F 2 data, can you confirm that these plants are an F 2 Generation showing Independent Assortment? (Hint: There are 3 choices for flower color.) Show your work.
