Consider a green colored maize plant is crossed with a brown colored maize plant producing the following offsprings. [Green color is dominant over brown color; follows Mendelian inheritance pattern]Which of the following statement is correct in terms of this context? Both the parents are homozygous Both the parents are heterozygous One parent is heterozygous whereas the other one is homozygous Data insufficient to conclude

Suppose you carry out a cross with fruit flies where you follow the inheritance of alleles at four different gene loci: one locus controls body color, one locus controls eye color, one locus controls wing length, and one locus controls wing shape. At each locus, there is a dominant allele and a recessive allele. The four loci follow Mendel's principle of independent assortment. A male that is heterozygous for all four loci is crossed with a female that is also heterozygous at all four loci. Complete the sentences that predict the results of this cross using the correct terms.The probability that a male gamete will have all four recessive alleles is .The probability that the F₁ offspring will have two dominant alleles at the gene locus that controls body color is .The probability that the F₁ offspring will be homozygous at the gene locus that controls body color is .The probability that the F₁ offspring will have two dominant alleles at all four gene loci is .The probability that the F₁ offspring will have the dominant phenotype for all four traits is .

The photo shows a cross between a plant with white flowers and a plant with red flowers. The offspring is a plant with flowers that have both colors.Which pattern of inheritance is shown?A.CodominanceB.Incomplete dominanceC.Multiple genesD.Recessiveness

Now, consider a brown colored maize plant is crossed with another maize plant producing the following offspring [Green color is dominant over brown color; follows Mendelian inheritance pattern] If these maize plants are crossed among themselves, what is the expected genotypic ratio of the offsprings? 3:1 1:1 1:2:1 1:1:1:1

Two homozygous blood type A parents have a blood type O child. Which of the following is the best explanation for this?Group of answer choicesBoth parents must be hH at H locus.Both parents must be HH at the H locus.Mom is heterozygous at the H locus, but the father is homozygous dominant at the H locus.Dad is heterozygous at the H locus, but the mom is homozygous dominant at the H locus.

Sometimes, when Mendel crossed two pea plants with each other, he obtained a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 purple-flowered pea plants to white-flowered pea plants. These results are consistent with which set of parents?Multiple ChoiceHomozygous purple pea plant and homozygous white pea plantHeterozygous purple pea plant and homozygous purple pea plantHeterozygous purple pea plant and homozygous white pea plantHeterozygous purple pea plant and heterozygous purple pea plant
