Around the mid-1850s, Mendel crossed true-breeding purple-flowered pea plants with true-breeding white-flowered pea plants. The results of his research provided us with the basic principles of heredity. Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. Not all terms will be used.

Every gene is a sequence of DNA nucleotides at a specific position along a chromosome called a locus. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent, that form homologous pairs .The homologs of a chromosome pair contain the same genetic loci. Therefore, each genetic locus is represented twice in a diploid cell. Variations in inherited characteristics is due to the presence of alleles, which are alternative versions of genes.

You decide to designate the twist allele as FT to distinguish it from the forked allele F. Using the following allele symbols, identify the genotypes of the three F2 classes in Part C by dragging one label to each class. Labels may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

F2 twisted: F^T F^T F2 forked: FF F1: FF^T

You continue your genetic analysis by crossing the forked and pale mutant lines with each other. The leaves of the F1 are light green (intermediate between pale and wild-type leaves) and forked. The F2 has six phenotypic classes, as shown below. You designate the forked mutant allele as F (wild type = f+ ) and the pale mutant allele as p (wild type = P). 1. Consider the alleles for leaf color first. Drag the labels to the targets in Group 1 to identify the genotype of each F2 class. Remember that p (the pale mutant allele) and P (the wild-type allele) are incompletely dominant to each other. 2. Consider the alleles for leaf shape next. Drag the labels to the targets in Group 2 to identify the genotype of each F2 class. Remember that F (the forked mutant allele) is dominant to f + (the wild-type allele). Labels may be used once, more than once, or not at all. For help getting started, see the hints.

Punnett squares are convenient ways to represent the types and frequencies of gametes and progeny in experimental crosses. This Punnett square shows the results of a Yy x Yy cross to form F2 progeny. Use your understanding of Mendel's law of segregation and the rules of probability to complete the Punnett square for this cross. First identify the gametes. Use pink labels to identify the male and female gamete types and white labels to identify the gamete frequencies. Then identify the F2 progeny. Use pink labels to identify the progeny genotypes and white labels to identify the progeny frequencies.

Labels may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

Twist: The mutant allele is dominant to its corresponding wild-type allele. Forked: The mutant allele is dominant to its corresponding wild-type allele. Pale: The mutant allele is neither dominant nor completely recessive to its corresponding wild-type allele.
