Biology Test Revision Solving pedigree charts


Describing the change of a population
undergoing natural selection and it’s causes
Key words

chromosomes • Dominant • Biodiversity
• Sex chromosomes • Recessive • Variation
• Allele • Trait • Selection pressure
• Allele frequency • Autosomal dominant • Adaptation
• Genotype • Autosomal recessive • Natural selection
• Phenotype • X-linked recessive • Artificial selection
• Homozygous • Pedigree chart • Population
• Hemizygous • Generations
• Heterozygous
Punnett Squares
1. The allele for blue eyes is "t" while the allele for brown eyes is
"T". What percentage of offspring produced by two parents with
blue eyes would also have blue eyes?

Draw a punnet square and calculate the genotype/phenotype % as


evidence for your answer.
Punnett Squares
2. The allele for longer necks in giraffes is dominant to the allele
for shorter necks. What are the phenotypes of the cross between
two homozygous parents, one with a long neck and one with a
short neck?

Draw a punnet square and calculate the genotype/phenotype % as


evidence for your answer.
Punnett Squares
3. Brown fur is dominant to white fur in a species of rabbit and is
represented with the alleles "B" and "b". What are the resulting
percentages of genotypes of a cross between a homozygous
dominant parent and a heterozygous parent?

Draw a punnet square and calculate the genotype/phenotype % as


evidence for your answer.
Punnett Squares
4. Colour blindness is an x-linked recessive genetic disorder. If a
heterozygous mother had children with a father with normal
vision, what would be the chances of producing children with
colour blindness?

Draw a punnet square and calculate the genotype/phenotype % as


evidence for your answer.
Punnett Squares
5. Why are males more susceptible to getting x-linked disorders
than females?

6. What is the difference between an allele, a genotype and a


trait?

7. List two autosomal recessive traits, two autosomal dominant


traits and two x-linked recessive traits.
Pedigree Charts
1. Identify the type of inheritance
2. Write the genotypes of every
individual
3. Draw a punnett square to prove
the genotypes of individuals I-1,
I-2, II-4 and II-5
Pedigree Charts
1. Identify the type of
inheritance
2. Write the genotypes of
every individual
3. Draw a punnett square to
prove the genotypes of all
individuals
Pedigree Charts
This pedigree chart shows the
inheritance pattern of haemophilia.

1. Explain how this chart shows


evidence of haemophilia being an
x-linked recessive disease.
Natural Selection
1. How does variation such as a
bird with a longer beak than
others of its species come about?

2. What selection pressure does


a longer beak give an advantage
for?
Natural Selection
1. Identify the adaptation and
selection pressure in this comic.

2. Explain the changes of allele


frequency and therefore the
changes to the population of
seals.
Natural Selection
1. Describe how each picture is
related to natural selection or
artificial selection.

2. What might be the


motivations for these changes to
occur in wolves and teosinte?
