( Example) In rabbits, black fur is dominant over white fur. Show the cross of a
heterozygous black male with a homozygous white female.
b b
Key: Black fur = B, White fur = b
B Bb Bb
Parents: Bb, bb (male –black fur, female-white fur)
1. Tall is dominant over short in pea plants. Show the cross when a homozygous short plant is crossed
with a homozygous tall plant.
Parents: TT x tt T
Tt Tt
Offspring: 4 Tt
2. In humans, free-ear lobes are dominant to attached. Two parents that are both heterozygous free are
expecting a child. What are the chances that the child will have free ear lobes or attached?
Key: free ear lobes = F , attached ear lobes = f F f
Parents: Ff x Ff FF Ff
F
Offspring: 1FF , 2Ff,1 ff
3. Wrinkled seed are recessive to smooth seeds. Show a plant that always produces wrinkled seeds crossed
with a heterozygous smooth seeds producing plant.
Key: W= smooth w= wrinkled w w
Parents: Ww x Ww
Ww Ww
W
Offspring: 2Ww, 2ww
ww ww
Genotype Probability:50% heterozygous smooth,50% homozygous wrinkled w
4. As in the previous problem… Show a heterozygous smooth plant crossed with another heterozygous
smooth seed producing plant. W w
Genotype Probability: 25% homo smooth 50% heter smooth 25% wrinkled
5. Blue eyes are dominant to red eyes in rabbits. Show a heterozygous blue-eyed rabbit crossed with a red-
eyed rabbit.
Parents: Bb x bb Bb bb

Offspring: 2Bb, 2bb
