In a certain plant, purple pigment (P) is dominant over white (p). Another gene (C) is required for color expression, while its recessive allele (c) produces white flowers regardless of the P/p alleles. What is the phenotypic ratio expected in the F2 generation from a dihybrid cross (PpCc x PpCc)?

In sweet peas, the formation of purple pigment requires the presence of dominant alleles for two different genes, C and P. If an individual has at least one recessive allele for either gene (cc or pp), the flowers are white. What is the expected phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation of a dihybrid cross (CcPp x CcPp)?

Consider squash fruit color. White fruit (W) is dominant over colored fruit (w). Another gene, Y (yellow) is dominant over y (green), but Y/y expression is masked by the presence of W. What is the expected phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation from a dihybrid cross (WwYy x WwYy)?

Consider the following pairs regarding Mendelian genetics:

  1. Pair 1: Homozygous dominant - Two identical alleles for a trait, both expressing the dominant phenotype.
  2. Pair 2: Recessive allele - An allele whose phenotype is expressed only in the homozygous state.
  3. Pair 3: Phenotype - The genetic makeup of an organism.
  4. Pair 4: Genotype - The observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism.

How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?

In a plant, two genes (A and B) both produce a dominant effect for a certain trait. If either A or B (or both) are present as dominant alleles, the trait is expressed. Only when both are homozygous recessive (aabb) is the alternative phenotype expressed. What is the phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation of a dihybrid cross (AaBb x AaBb)?

In rabbits, the gene for coat color has multiple alleles: C (full color), cch (chinchilla), ch (Himalayan), and c (albino). The dominance hierarchy is C > cch > ch > c. A chinchilla rabbit (cchc) is crossed with a Himalayan rabbit (chc). What are the possible phenotypes of the offspring?

In poultry, a dominant allele 'I' at one locus inhibits the expression of color (C/c) at another locus, making the bird white. If 'I' is absent (ii), then the 'C' allele produces color, and 'cc' produces white. What is the expected phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation from a dihybrid cross (IiCc x IiCc)?

In some plants, self-incompatibility is controlled by a single gene with multiple alleles (S1, S2, S3, S4...). Pollen can only germinate on a stigma if its S-allele is different from both S-alleles of the pistil. If a plant has genotype S1S2, which of the following pollen types would be compatible?
