REMINDERS: READ CAREFULLY THE INSTRUCTIONS AND AVOID ERASURES.

Objectives: The students should be able to predict phenotypic expressions of traits following simple
patterns of inheritance
PART I. PROBLEM SOLVING (10 POINTS)
Direction: Solve the following genetic problem using the Punnett square. Write your answer on the space
provided.

1 the trait is fur color (f). the allele Black fur is dominant over gray fur. If the mother is homozygous recessive
and the father is homozygous dominant.

a) Write the genotype probabilities. ___________________________________

b) Write the phenotype probabilities. __________________________________

2. A homozygous dominant brown mouse is crossed with a heterozygous brown mouse (tan is the recessive
color).

a) Write the genotype probabilities. ___________________________________

b) Write the phenotype probabilities. __________________________________

3. In pea plants, yellow seed color is dominant to green seed color. If a heterozygous pea plant is crossed with a
plant that is homozygous recessive for seed color.

a) Write the genotype probabilities. ___________________________________

b) Write the phenotype probabilities. __________________________________

4-5. In horses, black is dependent upon a dominant gene, B, and chestnut upon its recessive allele, b. The
trotting gait is due to a dominant gene, T, the pacing gait to its recessive allele, t. If a homozygous black
pacer is mated to a homozygous chestnut trotter, what will be the appearance of the F1 generation?

Objectives: The students should be able to determine the acceleration, weight, circular motion, work, power and
energy of an object.
PART II PROBLEM SOLVING (1 point each)
Direction: Read and analyse the following situation. Solve for what is asked and box your final answer.

11. Whether you are standing, running or jumping Earth is exerting a gravitational force on you. This gravitational
force is called an object’s weight (W). Knowing this you can find the weight of an object if you know the mass
because the acceleration will be 9.8 m/s2 due to gravities pull on the object. What is the weight of a 53 kg man?
