    This document is a biology genetics test with 4 questions. Question 1 asks about phenotypic ratios expected from a cross between tomato plants heterozygous and homozygous for stem and fruit traits. Question 2 involves determining possible parents and blood types from information on 3 mixed up babies' blood types. Question 3 asks to determine phenotypic ratios from a cross between pink flowering plants. Question 4 involves determining the inheritance pattern (autosomal dominant, recessive, or sex-linked) using a provided pedigree by labeling individuals and explaining patterns.

    1. In tomato plants, the gene for purple (E) stems is dominant to the allele for green
    (e) and the gene for red (R) fruit is dominant to its allele for yellow (r) fruit. If a
    tomato plant that is heterozygous for both traits is crossed with a plant that is
    hybrid for purple stems and purebred for red fruit. State what proportion
    (fraction) of the offspring are expected to have: (7 pnts.)

    a. Parents Genotypes _________________ x ___________________

    b. purple stems and yellow fruit


    __________________________________________

    c. green stems and red fruit __________________________________________

    d. purple stems and red fruit __________________________________________


    e. If 400 seeds resulting from the cross in question 1 are collected and planted,
    determine how many are expected to grow into plants with: (3 pts)

    Show your work (Hint: Use your phenotypic ratio and probabilities from the above
    question to help you answer these questions)

    red fruit _______________

    green stems _______________

    both purple stems and red fruit _______________


    2. Three babies were recently mixed up in a hospital. The blood types of the
    possible parents and babies are shown below. The ABO blood groups
    have been listed for your use. (11 pts)

    Parents I Parents II Parents III


    A&B A&A AB & O

    Baby I Baby II Baby III


    B O AB

    a. Draw all possible Punnett Squares for each couple (you may need to do more
    than 1 square per couple) to determine the possible blood types for their
    offspring.(8)

    b. Who were the possible parents of Baby I? _____________________

    c. Who were the possible parents of Baby III? _____________________

    d. Who could NOT have been the parents of Baby II? _____________________
    3. Two pink flowering plants are crossed. There are 342 offspring.
    Using the alleles R= red and r = white, determine the number of plants that exhibit each
    possible phenotype (pheonotypic ratio). SHOW YOUR WORK. (5 pts)
    4. Use the pedigree below to determine whether the inheritance pattern is autosomal
    dominant, autosomal recessive, or sex-linked. Answer each of the questions below.
    Explain your reasoning by labeling each individual in all generations on the pedigree,
    and/or explaining patterns in the pedigree.
    Use the letter “E” and “e” as your alleles. (6 pts.)

    A. (2pts.)Autosomal recessive? Yes / No


    Why:_________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    B. (2pts.)Autosomal Dominant? Yes / No
