The diagram below shows a part of the biochemical pathway responsible for fruit color in peppers (Caspicum annuum). Enzyme 1 is responsible for catalyzing the reaction that turns the colorless precursor into yellow pigment, whereas Enzyme 2 catalyzes the step that turns the yellow pigment into red pigment. A breeder crosses a pure-breeding plant that makes yellow pepper to a pure-breeding plant that males red peppers. What portion of the offspring will makes red peppers?
Enzyme 1 Enzyme 2
Colorless------→Yellow Pigment----→ red pigment

In pet rabbits, brown coat color is recessive to black coat color. A black female rabbit gives birth to four back-coated, and three-coated baby rabbits. What can be deduced about the genotype of the baby rabbits’ father
He could be heterozygous black/brown or homozygous brown
A very common type of red-green colorblindness in humans is caused by a mutation in a gene located on the X chromosome. Knowing that the mutation allele is recessive to the wild type, what is the probability that the son of a women whose father is colorblind is going to also be colorblind?

You have three jars of gum-balls. The first jar has 100 white gum-balls and 25 green, the second jar has 50 white and 150 clue, the third jar contains 500 white and 10 red.

The following pedigree concerns the autosomal recessive disease Phenylketonuria (PKU). The couple marked A and B are contemplating having a baby but are concerned about the baby have PKU. What is the probability of the first child having PKU? unless you have evidence to the contrary, assume that the a person marrying into the pedigree is not a carrier. The filled-in individuals have PKU

6/8
Two pure-breeding mutant plants were crossed: One had small leaves (wild-type leaves are large), and the other made pink flowers (wild-type flowers are purple). All F1 individuals has small leaves and purple flowers. Assuming independent assortment, what proportion of the F2 individuals were expected to be phenotypically wild type?

In hogs, a dominant allele B results in a white belts around the body. At a separate locus, the dominant allele S causes fusion of the two parts of normally cloven hoof resulting in a condition known as syndactyly. A belted syndactylous sow was crossed to an unbelted colven-hoofed boar, and in the litter there were:
25% belted syndactylous
25% belted cloven
25% unbelted syndactylous
25% unbelted cloven

If a plant of genotype A/a;B/b;C/c;D/d is selfed and the genes assort independently, how many different genotypes will be found among the progeny?

In drosophila cross, you mate a parental line displaying crossed eyes(recessive trait, autosomal) and corkscrew bristles (recessive trait, autosomal) by a wild-tyoe fly. The sites of the two genes are known to be unlinked. The F1 are wild type.
You self the F1 flies in the hope of regenerating the cross-eyes/corkscrewed phenotype.
How many individuals F2 flies would you need to analyze tp have 95% confidence of finding at least one cross-eyed/corkscrew fly?
47 flies
Which of the following is/are TRUE with respect to haploid and diploid cells?
In diploid cells ,meiosis 1 results in the formation of two haploid cells
In a particular dihybrid, the two genes of interest, A and B are located on different chromosomes. Which of the following diagrams does NOT respect a stage of meiosis in this organism?

You generate a plant that is heterozygous for three qualitative trait loci (QTL). In the heterozygous states, each locus has one allele that contributes one does of trait (pigment) and another allele that does not contribute a does to a trait; genotype: R1/r1; R2/r2; R3/r3. Ig you testcross this plant by (r1/r1; r2/r2; r3/r3 all “0-does alleles) what distribution of pigment would be observed in the progeny?
1/8, three dose; 3/8 two does; 3/8 one does; 1/8 zero does
