6. In corn three unlinked dominant genes are necessary for aleurone color. The genotypes B-D-B- are colored. If any of these loci is homozygous recessive the aleurone will be colorless. What is the expected phenotypic frequency distribution (phenotypes and their frequencies) of the F2 offspring of this F1 genotype: BbDdRR 7. In the common daisy the genes A and a, B and b represent two pairs of alleles acting on flower color. Only the A-B- genotypes have color. Predict the genotype and phenotype of the F1 of a cross between two colorless plants, one homozygous for the 'A' allele and the other homozygous for the 'B' allele. 8. Genes Q and R are 20 map units apart. What is the expected frequency distribution of gametic genotypes (list all gametic genotypes and their expected freqeuncies)of a plant with the genotype QR/qr? In peas, tall (T) is dominant to short (t), red flowers (R) is dominant to white flowers (r), and wide leaves (W) is dominant to narrow (w). A tall, red, wide plant is crossed to a short, white, narrow plant and the progeny are as follows: tall red wide 400 tall white wide 99 short red wide 101 short white wide 400 1000 9. What is the genotype (expressed to indicate the linkage arrangement, i.e. _ / _ ) of the tall, red, wide parent plant used in the testcross? Page 1

Consider the 'R' and 'S' genes, where R is dominant to r, and S is dominant to s.

A cell with 40 chromatids at the beginning of mitosis has 20 chromosomes. Page 4
T F 27. In meiosis, one nucleus divides into four nuclei. T F 28. Homologous chromosomes form pairs in Metaphase of mitosis. T F 29. Discontinuous traits can be classified into distict categories of phenotype. T F 30. Many traits are influenced by both major genes with large effects, and modifier genes with small effects. T F 31. 2N is shorthand for the number of chromosomes in a gamete. T F 32. Two chromosomes are homologous because they are descendents of a common progenitor chromosome. T F 33.

One cm = 1 map unit = 1% recombination frequency. Page 5
