Exercise 3
1. According to the Punnett square above, what is the mother’s genotype?
_____Rr____
2. What is the mother’s phenotype? __Mom has the ability to roll her tongue
3. What is the father’s genotype? _____Rr______
4. What is the father’s phenotype? __________Dad can roll his tongue__
5. What is the likelihood of their daughter Maria having each of the possible
genotypes and phenotypes?
RR: 25% chance
Rr: 50% chance
rr: 25% chance
6. I am not 100% sure of Maria’s genotype. This is because there are 3 possible
genotypic combinations that she may have, that is RR, Rr, and rr.
7. I am not 100% sure of Maria’s phenotype. She has a 75% possibility of
being able to roll her tongue as well as a 25% chance that she won’t roll her
tongue.

Exercise 4
Person Genotype Phenotype

A rr Cannot roll tongue

B rr Cannot roll tongue

C Rr Can roll tongue

D RR Can roll tongue

E Rr Can roll tongue

F rr Cannot roll tongue

G RR, or Rr Can roll tongue

Qn. 1. I am a 100% sure of each person’s phenotype.

Qn. 2. I am sure of all genotypes except that the genotype of G has double chance
of being homozygous or heterogynous for the mendelian trait of rolling the tongue
hence G can be RR or Rr.
