IV. Complete the following questions below.

(19- 30). In corn plants, normal height, N, is dominant to short height, n. Complete these four Punnett squares
showing different crosses. Then, shade all the homozygous dominant offspring. Cross out (X) all the
heterozygous offspring. Leave all the homozygous recessive offspring unshaded.
N N N n N n N n
n N N n

n N n n
 In guinea pigs, short hair, S, is dominant to long hair, s. Complete the following Punnett squares according to the
directions given. Then, fill in the blanks beside each Punnett square with the correct numbers.

a. One guinea pig is Ss and one is ss.

Expected number of offspring:

Short hair (SS or Ss) Long

hair (ss)

b. Both guinea pigs are heterozygous for short hair.

Expected number of offspring:

Short hair
Long hair

(31-35) In humans, being a tongue roller (R) is dominant over non-roller (r). A man who is a non-roller marries a
woman who is heterozygous for tongue rolling.
Father’s phenotype - Mother’s phenotype
Father’s genotype - Mother’s genotype –

What is the probability of this couple having a child who is a tongue roller?

(36 – 40.) Brown eyes in humans are dominant to blue eyes. A brown-eyed man, whose mother was blue-eyed,
marries a brown-eyed woman whose father had blue eyes.

What is the probability that this couple will have a blue-eyed child?
