Document Summary

When an organism gains or loses a single chromosome, the condition is known as aneuploidy. One possible result of chromosomal breakage is for a fragment to join a nonhomologous chromosome. The chromosome with the additional genetic material represents translocation. Homologous chromosomes pair during meiosis and undergo recombination. These results are best explained by which of the following? independent assortment. Broad sense heritability is defined by the equation h2 = vg/vp. *curve is normal 9:3:3:1* multiple-factor or polygenic inheritance. One gamete will be n+1, one will be n-1, and two will be n. The mean score for the first genetics exam was 70% with a standard deviation (s. d. ) of 15% (70 +/- From these data we can be confident that. ~95% of the students had scores between the mean +/- 2 s. d. units (40 to 100%) The following 3 genes are linked and arranged in the order beaked (b), neocrotic (ne) and wolly (wo).

**2 questions, Can someone help explain the firstquestion. The second one, I just need someone to help see if I didit right.

Tomato Plants
In tomato plants, round fruit (R) is dominant to oval fruit(r). Pure breeding plants with red and round fruit(FFRR) were crossed to pure breeding plants with yellowand oval fruit (ffrr).
The red and round F₁ progeny were then testcrossed toplants that were homozygous recessive for both genes(ffrr) with the following results:

Phenotypes	Number of Offspring
Red and round	2 255
Red and oval	290
Yellow and round	310
Yellow and oval	2 145

Complete a Punnett square to determine the expected testcrossprogeny on the basis of Mendelâs Law of Independent Assortment.

Tomato Plant Leaves
In tomatoes, regular leaves (L) are multilobed andserrated and potato leaves (l) are broad, smooth, andsingle (Image 1). Red fruit (F) is dominant toyellow fruit (f).

A cross is carried out between two pure lines of tomato plants,one having regular leaves and red fruit and the other having potatoleaves and yellow fruit. The F₁ generation all haveregular leaves and red fruit. TheF₁ individuals are then crossed with one another.

Complete a Punnett square to determine the expectedF₂ progeny on the basis of Mendelâs Law of IndependentAssortment, which states that the alleles for one gene segregateindependently of the alleles for other genes during gameteformation.
