Station 1 MEIOSIS:
1. What process is represented in the diagram on the right?

2. What is the normal number of chromosomes in a human zygote? _____________

3. The resulting new combination of traits in gamete is the result in change of chromosome
combination due to which process? ___________________________________

4. The process by which the homologues chromosomes exchange

segments of DNA is called?
_________________________________________

5. In terms of letter ‘n’, how is the sequence of meiosis represented?

6. Meiotic cell division is directly responsible for the formation of what type of cells?
_______________________

7. Synapsis, crossing over, and disjunction occurs in which phase of which cell division?

8. In a species, the diploid number of chromosomes is 20. What is the number of chromosomes present
in each od the egg cells?

9. In human egg cell, the 21st pair may fail to separate. This failure to separate is known as
____________________ ___________________________

10. The two parts of a double stranded chromosome is held together by a

Station 2 Mendel and Monohybrid Cross:
1. In owls, white color (W) is dominant and yellow (w) is recessive. If PURE white owl mates with a yellow
owl, all the resulting butterflies are heterozygous. Write down the cross that will represent the
genotype of parental generation.

2. When two heterozygous organisms are crossed, what percent will show the recessive trait? Draw a
Punnett square to prove that you understand.

3. Black color is dominant to red color. When a homozygous black bull is mated with several red cows,
what will be the phenotype of the offspring? Draw a Punnett square to prove that you understand.

4. In cats, black color (B) is dominant over white fur (b). When two BLACK cats were mated, the ratio of
black-coated offspring to white-coated offspring is 3:1. Write down the parental GENOTYPE for this
cross.
5. In mouse, dark coat color is dominant over cream coat. If heterozygous dark-coated male mice are
mated with cream-coated female mice, what would be the expected percentage of phenotype in their
offspring? Draw a Punnett square to prove that you understand.

6. When a mouse with black coat is crossed with a mouse with white fur, all F1 generation offspring have
grey fur. Which phenotypic results can be expected in the F2 generation?
Station 3 Non-Mendelian Crosses and Multiple Alleles:
1. A woman with blood type AB marries a man with blood type B. This couple will NOT have a child with
which blood type? Draw a Punnett square to prove that you understand.

2. If two roan cows are crossed, what percent of offspring will show the parental phenotype for coat color?
Draw a Punnett square to prove that you understand.

3. Which heterozygous cross could produce a child with blood type O?

4. How many different genotypes can be produced when the roan cattle is crossed with white coat cattle?

5. Which genotype will give you each child with different blood type in ABO group. Construct a Punnett
square to prove that you understand.
Station 4 Mendel, Dihybrid Cross and Sex Linked:

1. Give Ms. Patel an example of homozygous genotype.

2. Name the 3 laws of Mendel.

3. Pea plants heterozygous for both height and color of seed coat (TtYy) were crossed with pea plants
that were homozygous recessive or both traits (ttyy). This cross illustrates which law of Mendel?

4. When a colorblind woman marries a male with normal vision, all their daughters have normal vision
and their sons are colorblind. This is an example of which inheritance?

5. What are sex-linked traits?

Station 5 Pedigrees:
1. What is the probability that Barbara, who has no genes for color
blindness will have a colorblind daughter?

2. The pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance for sex-linked trait.

If this couple have another son, what are the chances that
he will exhibit sex-linked trait?

3.

What

4. Look at the pedigree on the right. What are the genotypes

of Linda and Donna?
