HELP! A snapdragon pure-breeding for red flowers was bred with one that was pure-breeding for white flowers. The F1 generation had only pink flowers. A plant with red flowers was crossed with one with pink flowers. What will be the phenotypic ratio of the offspring? A) 1 red: 1 White B) 1 red: 1 pink c) 1 red: 2 pink: 1 white D) 1 red: 1 pink: 2 white

2) Red-green colour blindness is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait. A woman whose father is colour blind, but herself has normal vision, marries a colour blind man. If they have a son, what is the probability that he will be colour blind? A) 0 B) 0.25 C) 0.50 D) 0.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got B for both :/ But, Are they correct?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Hey there @Rusty143 !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hiiiii @Abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Let's check your question one by one ;)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

#1 They say, they are crossing between a true Red and a Pink. Can you tell me what should be the genotype of pink flower?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah. \[C ^{R} C ^{W}\]

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Yes, we denote it simply as Rr. It is the case of incomplete dominance.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Now we have to make a cross between Rr and RR |dw:1420674880203:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh. So, 2 red and 2 pink.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is the same as 1Red: 1 pink?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Yes, and that gives you a ratio of 1:1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay,so B. Thank God. And you, of course.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

:D Let's move on to next one ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay! Proceed.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

What will be the genotype of the female ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[X ^{N} X ^{C}\] She's a carrier?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Yes.....and that of his husband will be \(\sf X^CY\)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Now we need to draw a cross between \(\sf X^cX^N\) and \(\sf X^CY\) |dw:1420675456223:dw| Those inside the circle will be male.
