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
I got B for both :/ But, Are they correct?
Hey there @Rusty143 !
Hiiiii @Abhisar
Let's check your question one by one ;)
#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?
Yeah. \[C ^{R} C ^{W}\]
Yes, we denote it simply as Rr. It is the case of incomplete dominance.
Now we have to make a cross between Rr and RR |dw:1420674880203:dw|
ohhh. So, 2 red and 2 pink.
Which is the same as 1Red: 1 pink?
Yes, and that gives you a ratio of 1:1
Yay,so B. Thank God. And you, of course.
:D Let's move on to next one ..
Okay! Proceed.
What will be the genotype of the female ?
\[X ^{N} X ^{C}\] She's a carrier?
Yes.....and that of his husband will be \(\sf X^CY\)
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.
