Cell Division and Heredity Worksheet

Monohybrid cross 1
Using the appropriate notation, and the Punnett square below, identify the phenotype
and genotype ratios of a cross between two parents that are heterozygous for
handedness.

Female

R r

R Rr
RR
Male

r Rr rr

Phenotype ratio = 3:1 right handed to left handed

Genotype ratio = 1:2:1

Monohybrid cross 2
Using the appropriate notation, and the Punnett square below, identify the phenotype
and genotype ratios of a cross between a female with blood type AB (I AIB) and a
male whose genotype is IBIO

Female

Ia Ib

Ib IbIb
IaIb
Male
Io IaIo IbIo

Phenotype ratio = 1:1:1:1

Genotype ratio = 1:1:1:1

Sex linkage

Using the appropriate notation, and the Punnett square below, identify the phenotype
and genotype ratios of a cross between a colour blind male and a carrier female.

Female

XB Xb

Xb XbXb

y XBy Xby

Phenotype ratio = 2:2 to having a child who is red green colour blind.

Genotype ratio = 1:1:1:1

Dihybrid
In alpacas white hair (H) is dominant over brown hair (h) and long hair (L) is
dominant over short hair (l).

If a pure bred alpaca with long white hair (HHLL) was crossed with an alpaca with
short brown hair (hhll) what would be the phenotype and genotype ratios in the first
generation?

Please use the Punnett square below to show your working.

f1 Generation

Female

hl HLhl
Male HLhl

Phenotype ratio = 1

Genotype ratio = 4:0

f2 generation
If two of the f1 generation were then crossed what would be the phenotype and
genotype of the offspring.
