Question

24.In a cross BbCcDd x BbCcDD, what is the probability of producing the genotype BBCCdd? (Note: none of the genes are linked...) A) 1/64 By 1/32 C) 1/16 D) 1/8 25. In snapdragons, heterozygotes for one of the genes have pink flowers whereas homozygotes have either red or white flowers, When plants w red flowers are crossed with plants with white flowers, what proportion the offspring will have pink flowers? A) 0% ) 25% ) 50% 75% R A 100% 26.Humans with both the IA and /B alleles for blood type have both A and B carbohydrates on their red blood cells, and are blood type "AB". This is example of A) Pleiotropy

Explanation / Answer

24. None of the genes are linked. Hence, they are independently assorting. Punnett square is as follows:

The genotype BBCCdd is not observed as a progeny of this cross as the second parent has a dominant DD genotype while the first parent has Dd. In order to obtain a dd genotype, both parents hould have atleast one recessive d allele.

Right option is E. 0 probability.

25. Consider that R codes for red colour while r codes for white colour.

Hence, homozygous red flowers will be a genotype RR and homozygous white flowers have a genotype rr. The heterozygous pink flowers have a genotype Rr.

Punnett square for the cross between red and white flower plant is shown below:

Red flowers

RR

R

R

White flowers

rr

r

Rr

Rr

r

Rr

Rr

All plants are Rr, which give pink flowers. Hence, the probability of obtaining pink flowers is 100%.

Right option is E. 100%
