Two corn plants are studied. One is resistant (R) and the other is susceptible (S) to a certain pathogenic fungus. The following crosses are made, with the results show: S? × R? ? all progeny S R? × S? ? all progeny R What can you conclude about the location of the genetic determinants of R and S?

This suggests that the genetic determinants of R and S are located on the organelles, which are inherited from the mother. Show more…

Two corn plants are studied. One is resistant (R) and the other is susceptible (S) to a certain pathogenic fungus. The following crosses are made, with the results shown: S ♀ x R ♂ → all progeny S R ♀ x S ♂ → all progeny R What can you conclude about the location of the genetic determinants of R and S?

Two corn plants are studied. One is resistant (R) and the other is susceptible (S) to a certain pathogenic fungus. The following reciprocal crosses are made, with the results shown below: female (S) x male (R) -> all offspring were (S), female (R) x male (S) -> all offspring were (R). Based on this data, what can you conclude about the mode of inheritance of the genetic basis of fungus susceptibility? a. The reciprocal crosses suggest that there are multiple genes interacting to give rise to the phenotype. b. The outcome of the reciprocal crosses suggests that the gene involved in susceptibility to the fungus is a maternal effect gene. c. The outcome of the reciprocal crosses suggests that the gene involved in susceptibility to the fungus is inherited in an X-linked manner. d. The reciprocal crosses suggests that the gene involved in susceptibility to the fungus is inherited in a Mendelian manner.

Two insects with the following genotypes are crossed: r+s X rs+. One of the progeny of this cross has the phenotype r+s+. Genes r and s are linked genes. This progeny is best described as dominant, recombinant, recessive, or parental.
