GENERAL BIOLOGY 2
MENDELIAN AND NON-MENDELIAN LAWS OF GENETICS
WORKSHEET 1

NAME: __________________________________________ SECTION: ____________________ SCORE: ____________

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: Read the problem carefully. Show your solutions systematically and neatly at the back
of the worksheet. Box your final answers.

1. Mang Juan’s Garden is well-known for supplying blue roses all over the country. He experimented on
breeding different colors of roses to produce different hues of blue roses. Given that the dominant trait
produces a dark blue rose and the recessive, a white rose, what will be the genotypes and phenotypes of the
following crosses? Note: Heterozygous roses have light blue color.

a. BB X bb
b. Bb X Bb
c. BB X Bb
d. Bb X bb

2. Bantay, your 3-year old male cat with beautiful yellow fur, is close with your crush’s female cat which has
yellow and black coat. In cats, the gene for coat color is sex-linked: YY gives yellow coat color and yy gives
black, but the heterozygote has a peculiar combination of yellow and black, a condition known as tortoise-
shell. Show the types of offspring expected from a cross between Bantay and your crush’s cat (genotypes
and phenotypes). NOTE: Your cat’s love life is not always directly proportional to yours.

3. In man, red-color blindness, depends on a X-linked recessive allele. Bernadette, whose father is color blind,
but who is not herself a “color blind” marries Phillip, a normal man. What is the chance of red-color
blindness to appear in their children?

4. George, who has Type A blood, marries Jennifer with Type B blood. Their child, Faye has Type O blood. What
are the genotypes of these three individuals? What genotypes, and in what percentage, would you expect in
future offspring from this marriage?

5. Amparo’s Farmville is the most prominent rice supplier in the country. They produce different kinds of rice
that fit the Filipinos’ tastes. The dominant traits produce tall and flood resistant rice plants. What will be the
genotypes and phenotypes of the following crosses?
a. AaBb X AaBb
b. AABb X Aabb
