2. What will be the genotypes of male offspring?
3. What will be the phenotypes of fruit flies?
4. How many fruit flies will have red eyes?
5. How many fruit flies will have white eyes?
6. What is the genotypic ratio of red-eyed fruit fly?

When Gender Matters

Directions: Read the given problem, complete the Punnett square and answer
the questions.

Color–blindness is a recessive sex–linked disorder in

humans. A color-blind man has a child with a woman who is a
carrier of the disorder.

Guide Questions:
1. What is the genotype of the male?
2. What is the genotype of the female?
3. What is the chance that the daughter will be color–blind?
4. What is the chance that the son will be color–blind?
Directions: Predict the possible genotype and phenotype of the offspring using a Punnett
Square based on the given scenario. Answer the given questions below.

Guide Questions:
1. Give the genotype and phenotype of offspring.
a. Genotype:
b. Phenotype:

2. Based on the result of the Punnett square, what is the chance that the
daughter will be a hemophiliac?

3. What is the chance that the son will be a male hemophiliac?
