Question

ree separate traits of wild flowers in Arizona were studied. The three traits were determined to be encoded by single, independent genes, each having two distinct alleles, with one completely dominant over the other. The petal color is either violet (P) or white (p; the petals are either small and abundant (S) or large and few (s); the flower stamens are either long (L) or short (0). Individual plants with the genotypes listed below are crossed. Use a branched diagram to predict the proportions, genotypes, and corresponding phenotypes of the progeny plants from these crosses. ALL branches should have proportion, genotrype and corresponding phenotype. PLEASE BE SURE TO COMBINE the PROPORTIONS AND GENOTYPES OF INDIVIDUALS WITH LIKE PHENOTYPES (eg, combine PPSSLL and ¼Ppsul as ½PSLJ. b) PPssLL x PpSsll

Explanation / Answer

Ans.

PP- violet

Pp -violet

pp- white

SS- small and abundant petals

Ss-small and abundant petals

ss-large and few petals

LL- long stamens

Ll- long stamens

ll-short stamens

a. parent gametes are PpSSLl*ppSsll

gametes for first parent PpSSLl are PSL, PSl, pSL, pSl

gametes for second parent are pSl, psl
