In snapdragons tallness (T) is dominant to dwarfness (t).
Red flowers are produced by RR and white flowers by rr but
the heterozygous Rr is pink. A dwarf red snapdragon is
crossed to a homozygous tall plant with white flowers. What
is the phenotypic ratio of the F1? the F2?

Answer Posted / sowjanya

dwarf, red snapdragon: ttRR * homozygous tall,white flowers
TTrr
F1: tR, Tr gametes
phenotypic ratio : 1:2:1
F2: TR, Tr, tR, tr gametes
9:3:3:1 .

In mice colored coat is dominant to albinism. Sniffles, a male mouse with a colored coat is mated to Esmeralda, an alluring albino. The resulting litter of six young all had colored fur. The next time around Esmeralda was mated with Whiskers, who was the same color as Sniffles; some of this litter were white. a)What are the probable genotypes of Sniffles, Esmeralda, and Whiskers? b) If a male of the 1st litterwas mated to a colored female of the 2nd litter, what phenotypic ratio might be expected among the offspring? c)What would be the expected results if a male of the 1st litter was mated to an albino from the 2nd?

A blastomere was removed from an 8-cell human embryo, and its beta-globin gene was amplified by PCR. The beta-globin DNA was treated with an enzyme that cuts on either side of and within the normal allele (producing a small fragment), but not within the sickle cell allele (producing a large fragment). Electrophoresis of the treated DNA from the blastomere demonstrated the presence of both a large and small fragment derived from the beta-globin genes. How should you interpret this test?
