WORKSHEET #1

Answer the following problems

Monohybrid cross

1. In pea plants, spherical seeds (S) are dominant to dented seeds (s). In a genetic cross of two plants
that are heterozygous for the seed shape trait, what fraction of the S s
offspring should have spherical seeds? What are the phenotypic and
genotypic ratio of the said cross? S SS Ss

s sS ss

2. True-breeding pea plants with spherical seeds were crossed with true-breeding plants with
dented seeds. (Spherical seeds are the dominant characteristic.) s s
Mendel collected the seeds from this cross, grew F1-generation plants,
let them self-pollinate to form a second generation, and analyzed the S Ss Ss
seeds of the resulting F2 generation. The results that he obtained, and
S Ss Ss
that you would predict for this experiment are:

3. In humans, brown eyes (B) is dominant over blue eyes(b). What are the phenotypic and genotypic
combinations can we expect from a cross between 2 parents who are B B
homozygous for brown eyes?
B BB BB

B BB BB

4. If a male parent is heterozygous for the trait and the female parent is homozygous recessive, how
much percent should we expect to a have a child that is homozygous
B B
recessive?
b bB bB

b bB bB

5. In a certain animal, black fur (B) is dominant over white fur(b). Determine the possible offspring
from the following cross: give their PR and GR.
a. Homozygous black x heterozygous black b. Homozygous white x heterozygous black
B b b B

1. In summer squash, white fruit color (W) is dominant over yellow fruit color (w) and disk-shaped fruit
(D) is dominant over sphere-shaped fruit (d).. If a squash plant true-breeding for white, disk-shaped
fruit is crossed with a plant true-breeding for yellow, sphere-shaped fruit, what will the phenotypic and
genotypic ratios be for:
WD Wd wD wd
a. the F1 generation? b. the F2 generation?
WD WWDD WWDd WwDD WwDd

2. For a particular plant, the allele for tall (T) is dominant over the allele for short (t). For the same plant,
the allele for colored flowers (C) is dominant over white flowers (c). A farmer crossbreeds the hybrid
plants as shown in the Punnett square below. What ratio of eachgenotype should the farmer expect from
this cross?

3. For a particular rodent, black fur (B) is dominant over brown fur (b), and a long tail (L) is dominant
over a short tail (l). Create a Punnett square that shows the phenotypes and genotypes of all the possible
offspring that could result from the breeding of a male rodents that is homozygous for black fur but
homozygous for short tail and the female parent is homozygous for brown fur but heterozygous
long tail.
