In a certain species of chile pepper, there are three different fruit pod colors that can be produced: yellow, orange and red. A plant with red-colored fruit is crossed with a plant with yellow-colored fruit. All of the progeny from this cross produce red-colored fruit. Numerous plants with red-colored fruit from this generation are crossed with one another. Progeny from these crosses are planted, flowered, and allowed to produce fruit. When plants produce fruit, there are 133 plants that produce red-colored fruit, 13 plants than produce yellow-colored fruit and 29 plants that produce orange-colored fruit. Hypothesize on how this trait for fruit color is being inherited in this species of chile pepper. Please show your evidence and/or calculations that support your hypothesis. Please provide the suspected genotypes of the different plants in this problem

1. In Drosophila (fruit flies) ebony body color and being eyeless are both autosomal recessive traits. An ebony fly is mated with an eyeless fly and the F₁ are all wild type.

The F₂ are: 590 wild type

185 eyeless

200 ebony

72 eyeless and ebony

Test the hypothesis that this was a dihybrid cross (ratios) using the Chi Square test.

2. In corn, purple kernels are dominant over yellow kernels, and full kernels are dominant over shrunken kernels.

A plant with purple, full kernels is crossed with a plant having yellow, shrunken kernels and the following progeny are obtained:

Purple, full 115

Purple, shrunken 110

Yellow, full 95

Yellow, shrunken 94

Determine the most likely genotypes for the parents and progeny.

Test your genetic hypothesis (ratios) with a Chi Square test until it is accepted.

3. A corn plant with purple, full kernels is crossed with a plant having purple, full kernels. The following progeny are obtained:

Purple, full 100

Purple, shrunken 36

Yellow, full 30

4. A candy manufacturer claims that it puts equal numbers of different colored candy in each packet they sell. You buy a packet and find these results:

Red: 101 Green: 120 Blue: 133 Orange: 103 Yellow: 110 Brown: 153

Does the manufacturerâs claim hold true? Use the Chi square test to determine whether to accept or reject this claim (that each bag has the same number of each color of candy).

2)The kaffir lily, Clivia miniata, is a flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae native to woodland habitats in South Africa. (It has been domesticated as an ornamental plant and can be found planted throughout Golden Gate Park.) Plants produce clustered flowers in either orange or yellow. A horticulturist traveled to South Africa and collected both orange and yellow varieties; she has repeatedly selfed these plants to produce true-breeding populations of each color type. When the pure-bred orange plant is cross-pollinated with a pure-bred yellow plant, all offspring are orange. When these orange F1 plants are intercrossed, you observe 250 orange flowering offspring and 83 yellow flowering offspring.

a)Propose how this trait is inherited; assign symbols to the genes & alleles; and state their relationship to one another. (2 points)

b)You travel to the same South African population visited by the horticulturist above. Of 300 randomly sampled Clivia plants, 220 produce yellow flowers. Based on this information, your answer in (a), and assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, predict the number of orange Clivia plants that are homozygous at this color locus. Show your calculations. (4 points)

c)You spend the next several months conducting test crosses on each of the orange-flowering plants from (b) by crossing them to yellow-flowering plants. You observe the following:

7 Clivia plants produced all orange offspring
73 Clivia plants produced Â½ orange offspring and Â½ yellow offspring

d)Based on this information and the information from (b), conduct a statistical test to determine whether the wild type population of Clivia miniata tested in (b) is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at this locus. Show all calculations and clearly state your conclusion. (5 points)

Hydrangea macrophylla plants can have flowers that are blue, white or pink. White plants are never true breeding. Crossing two white plants results in 2/3 white and 1/3 colored flowers (all pink, all blue or some pink and some blue). When true breeding blue plants are crossed with true breeding pink plants the resulting F1 generation are all blue. When these F1 Blue plants are crossed with white plants the progeny are 3/8 blue, 1/8 pink and 1/2 white.

When cuttings from a large F1 blue hydrangea plant are planted all over a housing development about Â½ the adult plants produce pink flowers the following year and Â½ produce blue flowers. Note that all the plants in the housing development are genetically identical.

F. Based on the results of the above experiment you have decided to apply for a grant from Monsanto to further understand the genetics of flower color in Hydrangea macrophylla. You feel this is important research as results from your study may aid in developing a profitable ornamental strain of hydrangea. You have two main goals: 1: determine heritability(H²/h²) of flower color and 2: Determine the genes involved in flower color. In the space provided briefly outline your experimental design for each goal and your hypothesis and/or predicted results.
