Question 1 (3 marks): In your research, you are doing genetic experiments on pea plants. You are observing flower position (either Axial or Terminal) and the color of the flower (either Purple or White). You are crossing plants with the following traits: Purple flower at axial position (homozygous for both traits) X White flower at terminal position (homozygous for both traits). Then, F1 generation offspring are further crossed with plants with white flower at axial position traits. 1.1. Draw the Punnett square table of the experiment (1 Marks). 1.2. Let's suppose the total number of plants obtained in F2 generation is 600. How many of them are going to have purple flower? (1 Marks). 1.3. Out of 600 plants from the F2 generation, roughly how many of them will have flower at axial position? (1 Marks). Question 2 (3 marks): In your research, you are working on different types of genetic disorders. For studying a particular disorder, you have collected family history from four generations. According to the data, in the first generation, a MAN who has the disorder marries a healthy WOMEN (Generation 1). They have a total of four children - three sons and a daughter. Their two sons have the disorder, and the daughter is normal (Generation II). The daughter from the generation II marries a healthy man and this couple has three children - two normal sons and a daughter with the disorder ((Generation III). Lastly, the daughter who has the disorder, in generation III, marries normal man and their sons and daughters are normal. 2.1. Draw the pedigree of the disorder (1 Marks). 2.2. What is the mode of inheritance of this genetic disorder? Please provide a detailed explanation for the mode of inheritance (2 Marks)
