WORKSHEET: MENDELIAN GENETICS

INSTRUCTION: Predict, identify and describe the offsprings of two pea plants down to the
second filial generation characterized by the following genes:

R = Round seed

r = Wrinkled seed

TABLE 1

P1 Rr X RR

F1 Offsprings:

1. RR

2. Rr

3. RR

4. Rr

GENOTYPE OF PARENTS: 1. Heterozygous_ 2. Homozygous_

PHENOTYPE OF PARENTS: 1. Round Seed 2. Round Seed

GENOTYPE OF OFFSPRINGS: 1. Homozygous_ 2. Heterozygous_

3. Homozygous 4. Heterozygous_

PHENOTYPE OF OFFSPRINGS: 1. Round Seed 2. Round Seed

3. Round Seed 4. Round Seed

Use this Punnett Square for TABLE 1:

Pick one pair from the F1 and let them cross fertilize. Repeat the process.

 TABLE 2:

P2 Rr X Rr

F2 Offsprings:

GUIDE QUESTIONS:

1. What happened to the recessive trait of P1? How did it appear in F2?

- The recessive trait of P1 appeared on F2 because F2’s parents is both Heterozygous.

Meaning that both the recessive and dominant gene will each have a Homozygous
Genotype.

- The recessive trait did not appear in F1 because its parents are Hetero and Homozygous.

2. Does being a recessive trait means that it will never be manifested physically? Why?

- No, a recessive trait has the possibility to be manifested physically. That is because in every
generation, depending on the parents’ the recessive trait might change because of the
difference in its genotype. Mostly, recessive traits come out two or more generations later
because for it to show up, it needs two heterozygous parents.
