    1) The document provides examples of genetic crosses using Punnett squares to determine possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring. Questions involve determining genotypes and phenotypes for traits like flower color, fur color, eye color, and more. Students must use Punnett squares to calculate percentages of offspring genotypes and phenotypes based on parental genotypes. 2) The document also provides an example involving dominant and recessive alleles for widow's peak inheritance and asks students to determine possible offspring from given parental genotypes using Punnett squares.

    1) For each of the genotypes below determine what the phenotype would be.

    Purple flowers are dominant to white flowers.


    PP_____________ Pp____________ pp_______________

    Hairy knuckles are dominant to non-hairy knuckles in humans.


    HH_____________ Hh ___________ hh _________________

    Bobtails in cats are recessive. Normal tails are dominant.


    TT _____________ Tt _________ tt _____________

    Round seeds are dominant to wrinkled seeds in pea plants.


    RR______________ Rr _____________ rr ____________

    No-cleft chin is dominant. Cleft chin is recessive.


    CC ___________ Cc __________ cc _____________

    2) For each of the following write whether it is homozygous dominant, heterozygous or


    homozygous recessive.

    AA Ff Aa gg
    GG Pp Ii tt
    TT Tt aa Oo

    Use the following information for questions 3-5:

    In dogs, the gene for fur color has two alleles. The dominant allele (F) codes for grey fur
    and the recessive allele (f) codes for black fur.

    3) The female dog is heterozygous. The male dog is homozygous recessive. Figure out the
    percentages of phenotypes and genotypes of their possible puppies by using a Punnett Square.

    Genotypes: Phenotypes:
    FF: Ff: ff: Black fur: Grey fur
    4) The female dog has black fur. The male dog has black fur. Figure out the percentages of
    phenotypes and genotypes of their possible puppies by using a Punnett Square.

    Genotypes: Phenotypes:
    FF: Ff: ff: Black fur: Grey fur:

    5) The female dog is heterozygous. The male dog is heterozygous. Figure out the percentages of
    phenotypes and genotypes of their possible puppies by using a Punnett Square.

    Genotypes: Phenotypes:
    FF: Ff: ff: Black fur: Grey fur:

    Use the following information for questions 6-8:


    In fruit flies, red eyes are dominant (E). White eyes are recessive (e).

    6) If the female fly has white eyes and the male fly has homozygous dominant red eyes, what are
    the possible percentages of phenotypes and genotypes of their offspring?

    Genotypes: Phenotypes:
    EE: Ee: ee: Red Eyes: White Eyes:
    7) If the female fly has EE and the male fly has EE, what are the possible percentages of
    phenotypes and genotypes of their offspring?

    Genotypes: Phenotypes:
    EE: Ee: ee: Red Eyes: White Eyes:

    8) If both flies are heterozygous, then what are the possible percentages of phenotypes and
    genotypes of their offspring?

    Genotypes: Phenotypes:
    EE: Ee: ee: Red Eyes: White Eyes:

    Use the following for questions 9-11:


    In dogs, there is a hereditary deafness caused by a recessive gene, “d.” A kennel owner
    has a male dog (Gilbert) that she wants to use for breeding purposes if possible. The dog can
    hear.

    9) What are the two possible genotypes of Gilbert?


    10) If the dog’s genotype is Dd, the owner does not wish to use him for breeding so that
    the deafness gene will not be passed on. This can be tested by breeding the dog to a deaf
    female (dd). Draw two Punnett squares to illustrate these two possible crosses.

    11) In each case, what percentage/how many of the offspring would be expected to be
    hearing? deaf? How could you tell the genotype of this male dog? Also, using Punnett
    square(s), show how two hearing dogs could produce deaf offspring.
    Use the following for questions 12-13:
    Having a widow’s peak like
    Wentworth Miller is dominant.

    Not having a widow’s peak, like


    Rihanna, is recessive.

    12) If Wentworth Miller is Ww, and he and Rihanna had children, what are the possible
    phenotypes and genotypes of their children?

    13) Look at the phenotypes of Beyonce and


    Jay Z. If these two had children, could they
    have children with a widow’s peak? Why or
    why not? Use a Punnett Square to explain
    your answer.
