A dihybrid (AaBb) lab mouse is testcrossed. What is the probability that the first three offspring are dihybrid females?

three

A dihybrid plant was crossed; the F2 generation consisted of: 860 tall plants with purple flowers; 285 dwarf, purple plants; 340 tall, pink plants; and 115 dwarf, pink plants. The data remind you of a 9:3:3:1 ratio. How many degrees of freedom apply to the test of this hypothesis?

reject your hypothesis

A dihybrid plant was crossed; the F2 generation consisted of: 860 tall plants with purple flowers; 285 dwarf, purple plants; 340 tall, pink plants; and 115 dwarf, pink plants. The data remind you of a 9:3:3:1 ratio. The critical chi-square for two degrees of freedom (d.f.) = 5.991; three d.f. = 7.815; four d.f. = 9.488; nine d.f. = 16.919. Therefore you should...

Full pod shape (F) is dominant to constricted pod shape (f), and yellow pod color (Y) is dominant to green pod color (y) in pea plants. A pure-breeding green plant with full pods is crossed with a pure-breeding yellow plant with constricted pods. The offspring are then test crossed. What is the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring?

ffYY

Genes a and b are 10 map units apart, b and c are 20 map units apart, and a and c are 30 map units apart. If a triple heterozygote is testcrossed, among 1,000 progeny, how many are expected to result from double crossovers if interference = 0.5?

20

Genes a and b are 10 map units apart, b and c are 20 map units apart, and a and c are 30 map units apart. If a triple heterozygote is testcrossed, among 1,000 progeny, how many are expected to result from double crossovers if there is no interference?
