Referring to Mendelian traits tall (T) versus dwarf (t) and green (G) versus white (g), consider the cross below and determine the genotypes of the Parental (P) plants by analyzing the phenotypes of the F1 offspring.      P = tall/green  x  tall/green F1 = 9/16 tall/green,  3/16 tall/white,  3/16 dwarf/green,  1/16 dwarf/white  

Body height is considered a complex trait because ____.

LONG ANSWER QUESTION #2   Assume the following population with two alleles of a given gene, A1 and A2.    GENOTYPE    NUMBER OBSERVED A1/A1                  46 A1/A2                  11 A2/A2                  23   Calculate the genotypic frequency and allelic frequency using the information provided above, then using that information, calculate the expected genotypic frequency of each genotype assuming the population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the gene in question. To answer this question fully, you should have eight values (or answers) to present for your answer. For credit, show your work and ensure your answers are clearly noted/identified. (8pts)
