Genetic Inheritance Activity

1. In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue (b)*. A brown-eyed man marries a
blue-eyed woman and they have three children, two of whom are brown-eyed and one
of whom is blue-eyed. Draw the Punnett square that illustrates this marriage. What is
the man’s genotype? What are the genotypes of the children?

Man’s genotype: Bb (Heterozygous)

Genotype of children : Bb 50% and bb 50%

2. Given the following ABO type of the parents, show all the possible genotypes and
phenotypes of the offspring.

Mother = Type A
Father = Type B
