4. Blood Types: Write out all possible Punnett Square(s) to predict your babys blood type.
Explain why multiple squares were or were not necessary.
o (on separate sheet)
5. Baby Lab
a. Choose 2 traits that are inherited by basic autosomal dominance or recessiveness.
i. For each trait, give the babys genotype and state whether it is homozygous
dominant, heterozygous, or homozygous recessive
o Earlobe attachment hh (homozygous recessive)
o Hair type Hh (heterozygous)
ii. State the babys phenotype
o Earlobe attachment attached
o Hair type - wavy
b. Choose 1 trait that is inherited by incomplete dominance.
i. Explain why this is considered to be incomplete dominance.
o Mouth size is a trait that is controlled by incomplete dominance. We can tell
because there are three phenotypes (long, medium, and short) and the third is
a mix or intermediate version of the other two (medium is a mix of long and
short because it is the intermediate of the two). Our child has a short mouth,
so she carries two recessive alleles (bb).
ii. State the babys genotype and phenotype in your explanation.
o Genotype bb
o Phenotype short mouth
c. Choose 1 trait that is polygenic.
i. Explain what polygenic means
o Traits that are polygenic are controlled by two or more genes, therefore the
more dominant alleles someone has, the more extreme their phenotype. For
example, our child has the genotype PpQq, so she has dark blue eyes.
o Ex) hair color, skin color, eye color
ii. State your babys genotype and phenotype in your explanation
o Genotype PpQq
o Phenotype dark blue eyes
6. List 2 Correctly-cited resources from which you found the information about your genetic
disorders in MLA format.
