In holstein cattle, the allele for black hair color (b) is dominant over the allele for red hair color (b), and the allele for polled (p), or lacking horns, is dominant over the allele for having horns(p). what is the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring of a bbpp × bbpp cross if these alleles sort independently? ††

I hope you meant, a cross between BbPp and BbPp, else for bbpp x bbpp, all the progeny will be bbpp.

We need to work out a Punnett square to determine the genotypes resulting from the cross between BbPp and BbPp. The dyhybrid cross results in 16 different genotypes, of which a few have the same phenotypes.

It can be seen that there are 4 different kinds of phenotypes present, in the ratio 9:3:3:1.

Answer from: braedenmoses7

We assume that these genes assort independently, have no interaction between them, and express complete dominance. By crossing two dihybrid individuals, it is expected a phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1 of the progeny.

Available data:

Two diallelic genes involved in hair color and horns development

Gene for Hair color

B is the dominant allele and codes for blackb is the recessive allele and codes for red

Gene for horns development

P is the dominant allele and codes for polled or lacking hornsp is the recessive allele and codes for horns

We will assume that these genes assort independently and express complete dominance.

Cross: bbpp × bbpp

F1) 100% bbpp ⇒ red haired animals with horns

We will perform another cross, just in case, for you to know how to proceed in the presence of dominant and recessive alleles.

Cross: Between two dihybrid individuals

Parentals) BbPp x BbPp

Gametes) BP, Bp, bP, bp

BP, Bp, bP, bp

Punnett square) BP Bp bP bp

BP BBPP BBPp BbPP BbPp

Bp BBPp BBpp BbPp Bbpp

bP BbPP BbPp bbPP bbPp

bp BbPp Bbpp bbPp bbpp

F1) Genotypes

BBPP ⇒ 1/16 BBPp ⇒ 2/16BbPP ⇒ 2/16BBpp ⇒ 1/16BbPp ⇒ 4/16Bbpp ⇒ 2/16bbPP ⇒ 1/16bbPp ⇒ 2/16bbpp ⇒ 1/16

Phenotypes

9/16 ⇒ B-P- ⇒ Black-haired with polled or lacking horns3/16 ⇒ B-pp ⇒ Black-haired with horns3/16 ⇒ bbP- ⇒ Red-haired with polled or lacking horns1/16 ⇒ bbpp ⇒ Red-haired with horns

Note: The symbol - represents either a dominant or a recessive allele.

So, according to this last cross, the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring is 9:3:3:1.

Rease is an enzyme used by plants to break down urea (a nitrogen-containing compound) into carbon dioxide and ammonia. urease urea > > > carbon dioxide and ammonia ammonia is broken down by plants into a nitrogen source plants need to grow. thus, plants could not use urea as a nitrogen source unless it was first converted to ammonia. in soybean plants there are two different kinds of urease, one produced in the seeds and the other produced in the leaves of the plant. three types of soybean plants were used in a set of experiments: normal soybeans and two mutant strains, one lacking the urease in the seeds only (strain 1) and one lacking urease in the leaves only (strain 2). experiment 1 separate areas in a field were planted with normal, strain 1, and strain 2 soybeans. all types of soybeans appeared to grow, flower, and produce seeds equally well. there were no externally detectable differences among the strains. experiment 2 small pieces of plant leaves of equal weight were obtained from each type of soybean plant and separately placed on media in culture dishes. tissue growing in this way will become an unorganized clump of cells referred to as callus. to provide a controlled nitrogen source, half the tissue samples of each type were placed on media containing urea, and the other half of the samples were placed on media containing ammonia. after 30 days, the weight gain for each of the callus samples was determined. results are shown in the table below.
