    Punnett Square 1

    Uploaded by

    andrea dyanne Azores
    This document provides a practice worksheet on Punnett squares and monohybrid crosses. It includes examples of crosses involving traits such as plant height, hair length in guinea pigs, horned cattle, fruit color in tomatoes, and tongue rolling ability in humans. The student is asked to complete Punnett squares for many of these crosses and determine the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring. It also covers concepts like incomplete dominance, codominance, and sex-linked traits. The student must use Punnett squares to show the potential offspring from crosses involving multiple gene traits.

    10. Examine the following Punnett squares and circle those that are correct.

    11. What do the letters on the outside of the Punnett square stand for?

    12. What do the letters on the inside of the Punnett square stand for?

    13. In corn plants, normal height, N, is dominant to short height, n. Complete these four Punnett squares
    showing different crosses. Then, circle all of the homozygous dominant offspring.
    Put an X through all the heterozygous offspring. Leave all the homozygous recessive
    offspring unshaded.
    14. In guinea pigs, short hair, S, is dominant to long hair, s. Complete the following Punnett squares according
    to the directions given. Then, fill in the blanks beside each Punnett square with the correct numbers.

    a. One guinea pig is Ss and one is ss.


    Expected number of offspring:
    Short hair (SS or Ss)
    Long hair (ss)

    b. Both guinea pigs are heterozygous for short hair.


    Expected number of offspring:
    Short hair
    Long hair

    Part C: Monohybrid Cross Problems – Make a Punnett square to show your work.
    15. Hornless (H) in cattle is dominant over horned (h). A homozygous hornless bull is mated
    with a homozygous horned cow. What will be the genotype and phenotype of the offspring?

    Genotype

    Phenotype

    16. In tomatoes, red fruit (R) is dominant over yellow fruit (r). A plant that is homozygous for red fruit is crossed
    with a plant that has yellow fruit. What will be the genotype and phenotype of the offspring?

    Genotype

    Phenotype

    17. In humans, being a tongue roller (R) is dominant over non-roller (r). A man who is a non-roller
    marries a woman who is heterozygous for tongue rolling.

    Father’s genotype Mother’s genotype

    What is the probability of this couple having a child who is a tongue roller?

    18. Brown eyes in humans are dominant to blue eyes. A brown-eyed man,
    whose mother was blue-eyed, marries a brown-eyed woman whose father had blue eyes.
    What is the probability that this couple will have a blue-eyed child?
    Answer the following questions by completing the Punnet Square.
