Flower color in a certain plant is determined by two independently assorting genes, B and D. The dominant B allele allows a pigment precursor to be converted into a blue pigment. Without this conversion, the plant is white. The dominant allele D causes the blue pigment to degrade and the resulting phenotype is white, whereas the recessive allele d has no effect. A true-breeding white (bbDD) and a true-breeding blue parental strain were mated. If the F1s were then crossed, what portion of the F2s would you expect to be white?

A man with hemophilia mates with a woman who is normal but whose father was a hemophiliac. What percentage of their daughters would you expect to be hemophiliacs?

A female carrier of hemophilia mates with a man with hemophilia and has offspring. If the couple has four children, what is the probability that they will have at least three with hemophilia?

True or False. In a PCR reaction dNTPs are the nucleotide building blocks used to manufacture the new strand of DNA. In contrast, in a sequencing reaction both dNTPS and ddNTPs are used.

Bateson and Punnett mated purple sweetpeas with white sweetpeas. F1 hybrids were all purple in color. When the hybrids were mated, a ratio of 9 purple : 7 white were observed in the F2 generation. Which of the following could best explain this observation?
