A pure red flower (RR) is crossed

with a pure white flower (rr).


A population of dogs has two alleles
for fur color: black (B) and tan (b).

A population of dogs has two alleles
for fur color: black (B) and tan (b).

Bb x bb
In horses, the allele for straight hair (H) is
dominant, and the allele for curly hair (h)
is recessive.
A horse breeder mates a homozygous
dominant mother with a heterozygous
male.
In mussels, brown coloring (B) is
dominant, and blue coloring (b) is
recessive.
A homozygous brown mussel crosses
with a blue mussel.
What percentage of offspring are
expected to be blue?
In watermelons, solid green rind color
(G) is dominant to stripes (g).
A farmer crosses two watermelon
plants that are heterozygous for rind
color.
What are the odds that the offspring
will have solid green rinds?
In a pea plant, tall (T) is dominant to short (t),
and green peas (G) are dominant to yellow
peas (g).
A tall plant with yellow peas (Ttgg) is crossed
with a short plant with green peas (ttGg). Both
the T and G traits assort independently from
one another.
What is the chance that the offspring will be
short with yellow peas?
In chickens, the allele for a pea comb (A)
is dominant to the allele for a single comb
(a).
A mother with the genotype Aa and a
father with the genotype Aa produce an
offspring.
What is the percent chance that the
offspring will have a single comb?
In snakes, being rude (R) is dominant to being
respectful (r), and being sneaky (S) is dominant to
being sincere (s).
A female snake that is homozygous recessive for both
the r and s trait is mated with a male snake that is
homozygous dominant for both traits (R and S). Both
the R and S traits assort independently from one
another.
What is the probability that they will have an offspring
that is respectful and sincere?
In monkeys, being playful (P) is
dominant to being paranoid (p). A
heterozygous female is crossed with a
homozygous dominant male.
What are the possible genotypes of
their offspring?
Detached (EE, Ee) or attached (ee) Earlobes
Can Tongue Roll (TT, Tt) or Can’t (tt)
Dimples (DD, Dd) No Dimples (dd)
Right (RR, Rr) or Left (rr) handed
Freckles (FF, Ff) No Freckles (ff)
Curly (HH, Hh) or Straight (hh)
Cleft Chin (CC, Cc) or No Cleft (cc)
Allergies (AA, Aa) or No Allergies (aa)
Hand Clasp Right over Left?
Normal (BB, Bb) Color Blindness (bb)
