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

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

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.

Use a Punnett Square to predict the most likely phenotype ratio and genotype ratio of their
possible puppies.

Genotypes Phenotypes

4) The female dog has black fur. The male dog has black fur.
Use a Punnett Square to predict the most likely phenotype ratio and genotype ratio of their
possible puppies.

Genotypes Phenotypes

5) The female dog is heterozygous. The male dog is heterozygous.
Use a Punnett Square to predict the most likely phenotype ratio and genotype ratio of their
possible puppies.

Use the following information for questions 6-8:

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

6) A female fly has white eyes, and the male fly is homozygous dominant for red eyes.
Use a Punnett Square to predict the percentage of offspring which will probably have red eyes
and white eyes

Genotypes Phenotypes

7) A female fly has the EE genotype for eye color. The male fly she mates with also has the
EE genotype for eye color. Use a Punnett Square to predict the percentage of offspring which
will probably have red eyes and white eyes

8) If both of the parent flies are heterozygous, then what are the possible phenotypes and
genotypes of their offspring? Use a Punnett square to make your prediction.

Analysis of the pedigree:

Answer the following questions based on each pedigree

1. Which members of the family above are afflicted with Huntington’s Disease?
____________________________________________________________________________
2. There are no carriers for Huntington’s Disease- you either have it or you don’t. With this in
mind, is Huntington’s disease caused by a dominant or recessive trait?
____________________________________________________________________________
3. How many children did individuals I-1 and I-2 have?
____________________________________________________________________________
4. How many girls did II-1 and II-2 have? __________________________________________
5. How many have Huntington’s Disease? _______________
6. How is individual III-2 and II-4 related?
____________________________________________________________________________

Good luck☺
