1. Suppose a white-furred rabbit breeds with a black-furred rabbit and all of their offspring
have a phenotype of gray fur. What does the gene for fur color in rabbits appear to be an
example of? Explain with checker board.
2. In the ABO blood group system in humans, if a person of type-B blood has children with a
person of type-AB blood, what blood types could their children have?
3. A gene for corn has two alleles, one for yellow kernels and one for white kernels. Cross
pollination of yellow corn and white corn results in ears of corn that have an approximately
even mix of yellow and white kernels. Which term best describes the relationship between
the two alleles? Explain with checker board.
4. Suppose that in barley plants, the allele for tall stalks is dominant over short stalks and the
allele for wide leaves is dominant over thin leaves. What would be the best way to
determine the genotype of a barley plant with a tall stalk and wide leaves?
5. A cross between two pea plants with genotypes PpLl and PpLl results in an F1 generation
that is 25% PPLL, 50% PpLl, and 25% ppll. Which reason most likely explains why other
possible genotypes are not present?
