Question

Name: 18. A. In a plant, one gene determines flower color and an independently assorting gene determines the leaf shape. In this plant, the flowers are either red (R) or white () in color a the leaves are either long (L) or short (). Determine the probability that a plant of the genotype R/r: L/7 will be produced from parental plants of the following genotypes: R/r; L/I and R/rl/ B. In another cross, involving parent plants of unknown genotype and phenotype, the following offspring were obtained. Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents 3/8 red, long 3/8 red, short 1/8 white, long 1/8 white, short Offspring

Explanation / Answer

18.

Therefore probability of getting R/r:L/l = 4/16 = 1/4

B. The parental genotypes are:

R/r;l/l and R/r;L/l

The respective phenotypes are:

Red flowers and short plant

Red flowersand long plant
