1.

A plant with wild phenotype but unknown genotype was crossed with a plant with round pollen grain and
blue flower, which were homozygous recessive for both characteristics. The results were as follow:

PHENOTYPES NUMBER OF PROGENIES


Long pollen grain (L), black flower (F) 350
Long pollen grain (L), blue flower (f) 32
Round pollen grain (l), black flower (F) 45
Round pollen grain (l), blue flower (f) 310

a. What type of inheritance is shown in the TABLE above?


b. State the expected phenotypic ratio of the progenies according to the Mendelian law.
c. Give TWO reasons why the observed ratio shown in TABLE above does not fit the expected ratio.
d. Draw a genetic diagram to show the result obtained in the TABLE above.
e. Calculate the distance between the genes controlling the shape of pollen grain and color of flower.

2. In mice, black fur is dominant over grey fur. Black fur is controlled by allele B and grey fur by allele b.
A cross is made between a homozygous grey female mice and black male mice.
a. Determine the genotype for male and female mice.
b. Draw a genetic diagram for the above crossing.
c. If the offspring from (b) is self-crossed, what percentage of the progeny is expected to be grey-
bodied. Draw the genetic diagram for the cross.

3. Hemophilia is a condition that affected the ability of blood to clot properly. The allele for hemophilia is
recessive. A woman with normal condition, whose mother was hemophilic, marries a man with
hemophilia. The gene for hemophilia is sex-linked.
a. Draw the genetic diagram for the above crossing.
b. Among the female progenies, what percentage is expected to be hemophilic?

4. The shaped and colors in carrots are determined by two pairs of different alleles. Red (R) and long (T)
carrots are dominant over white (r) and oval (t) carrots. A cross was done between a homozygous red,
long carrot and a homozygous white, oval carrot. The F1 generation produced was then crossed with a
homozygous white, oval carrot. Table 4 shows the progenies produced in F2 generation.

PHENOTYPES NUMBER OF PROGENIES


Red, long 48
White, oval 45
Red, oval 4
White, long 6

a. Draw a genetic diagram to show the result obtained in Table 4.


b. Calculate the distance between the genes controlling color and shape of carrot.
5. In monkeys, round eyes are controlled by dominant allele, E, while protruding eyes are controlled by its
recessive allele, e. On the other hand, brown eyes are controlled by dominant allele, B, while yellow eyes
are controlled by recessive allele, b. Based on the information given, answer the following questions.
a. Determine the expected phenotypic ratio among the F1 progeny for the cross between heterozygous
monkeys. Show the cross.
b. What percentage of the F1 progeny in cross (a) is expected to have protruding and yellow eyes?

6. Corn (Zea mays) seeds may have various colors and shapes. Red (R) and non-shrunken (S) are dominant
over white (r) and shrunken (s) respectively. A cross was done between a homozygous red non-shrunken
line and a homozygous white shrunken line. The F1 generation was then crossed with a homozygous white
shrunken line, and the following progeny were produced.

Red, shrunken 48
White, non-shrunken 45
Red, non-shrunken 43
White, shrunken 49

a. State the type of cross between the F1 generation and the homozygous white shrunken line above.
b. Does the above cross conform to the Mendelian ratio? Give reasons for your answer.
c. Show the cross until F2 progeny.
