The weight of the fruit of one variety of squashes is
determined by three pairs of genes: AABBCC produces 6 lb
squashes and aabbcc produces 3 lb squashes. Each dominant
allele adds 1/2 lb tothe base weight (3 lb). If a pure
breeding line that produced 6 lb squashes was crossed with
a pure breeding line that produced 3 lb squashes, what
would be the phenotypic ratio of the F1 and the F2?
Answer Posted / pinga
phenotypic ratio of F1 = 4.5 lb
phenotypic ratio of F2 = 6lb,5.5lb,5lb,4.5lb,4lb,3.5lb,3lb

A base deletion occurs in the regulator gene of the LAC operon. Describe how the operation of the LAC operon might be affected?
Flower position, stem length, and seed shape were three traits that were studied by Mendel. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene. If a plant that is heterozygous for all three traits was allowed to self- fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to show all three dominant phenotypes?

In hogs a gene that produces a white belt around the animal's body is dominant over its allele for a uniform body. Another independent dominant gene produces fusion of the hoof (syndactyly). Suppose a uniformly colored hog homozygous for syndactyly is mated with a normal footed hog homozygous for the belted character. What would be the phenotype of the F1? If the F1's interbreed, what would be the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
Is Genetic Engineering worth the cost and effort?
In cats yellow is due to gene B and black to its allele b. These genes are located on the X chromosome (sex-linked). The heterozygous results in calico (tortoise shell). What kinds of offspring (sex & color) are expected from the cross: black male & calico female? Most calico males are sterile, why?

Consider two linked autosomal genes. The dominant allele C of the first gene causes cataracts of the eye, whereas its recessive allele produces normal eyes. The dominant allele P causes polydactyly (an extra finger) whereas its allele (p) produces a normal number of fingers. A man with cataracts and normal fingers marries a woman with polydactyly and normal eyes. Their son has both polydactyly and cataracts and he marries a woman with neither trait. What is the probability that their first child will have cataracts and polydactyly?
