observed when the dominant gene is present.
a. True b. False
_____5. It refers to two dominant alleles of a contrasting pair fully expressed at the same time in
the heterozygous individual.
a. Incomplete dominance c. Multiple Alleles
b. Allele d. Codominance
_____6. The reproductive cells that unite during sexual reproduction to form new cell called a
zygote.
a. Allele b. Gamete c. Antigen d. DNA
_____7. Pink four o’clock flowers are obtained from a cross between pure bred red flower plant
and white flower plant. What is the genotype of the pink flowers?
a. RR b. WW c. RW d. Rr

a. 44 b. 45 c. 46 d. 47
_____9. When an egg is fertilized by a sperm carrying an X chromosome, the offspring is female.
a. True b. False
_____10. Occurs when the phenotype of the offspring is somewhere in between the phenotypes of
both parents; a completely dominant allele does not occur.
a. Incomplete Dominance c. Sex Cells

Test II. Problem Solving. Answer the following problems by using Punnet Square. Show your
solution below. (5 points each)

1. Complete the punnet square for a cross between homozygous red-flowered snapdragon
(RR) and homozygous white flowered
snapdragon (rr). Give the ratio for the phenotype and
the genotype

Key:
Genotypic Ratio:___________

RR – red Phenotypic Ratio:__________

rr – white
Rr – pink

2. Predict the phenotypic ratios of offspring when a homozygous white cow is crossed with a
roan bull. Illustrate using a Punnet square.

Key: Phenotypic ratio:__________

WW – white
RR – red
RW – roan

3. Using a Punnet square, show the inheritance

of the sex chromosomes. Represent
the female sex chromosomes with XX and the male sex chromosomes with XY. Based on
this Punnet square, what percent of children would you expect to be male?
