Question

I just need help figuring out how to do the work for the last part of this question. If you need any additional information let me know. Part 1. Your Data For your sample was there a PCR product of a size expected based on the positive control? PCR with CF+PR yesy no and? PCR with CF+NR yes /no Based on the PCR results, what is the genotype of your plant, using ANL for the wild type purple allel and anl for the mutant nonpurple allele? Suppose cross-pollinated with a plant having the genotype ANL /anl. What fraction of the progeny of that cros would be expected to be nonpurple? d that, instead of being ground up, your seedling had been allowed to grow into a plant and the Show work to support this:

Explanation / Answer

As per PCR results, the genotype of the seedling that has been allowed to grow into a plant, P1 = anl / anl
Cross-pollination occurs with a plant having the genotype, P2 = ANL / anl
As per Mendelian Laws of Inheritance (Segregation, Independent Assortment, and Dominance), we get:
Gametes of P1 = anl
Gametes of P2 = ANL or anl
Hence possible offsprings, F1 generation = ANL / anl or anl / anl
ANL / anl = purple
anl / anl = mutant non-purple
We can expect 50% or 1/2 of the progeny of this cross to be non-purple ANSWER
