Inheritance

MS-LS3-2 DOK1 Step 1

Part A: Vocabulary - Match the definitions on the left with the terms on the right.
1. genotypes made of the same alleles homozygous
2. different forms of genes for a single trait alleles
3. gene that is always expressed dominant
4. gene that is expressed only in the homozygous state recessive
5. genotypes made of two different alleles Heterozygous

Circle the choices that are examples of each of those words.

MS-LS3-2 DOK2 Step 2

Part B: Punnett Squares

10. Examine the following Punnett squares and circle those that are correct.

11. What do the letters on the outside of the Punnett square stand for?

The genotypes of parents

12. What do the letters on the inside of the Punnett square stand for?
The genotype of offspring

13. In corn plants, normal height, N, is dominant to short height, n. Complete these four Punnett squares
showing different crosses. Then, circle all of the homozygous dominant offspring. Put an X through all the
heterozygous offspring. Leave all the homozygous recessive offspring unshaded.

Phenotype 100% of the offspring are heterozygous hornless

16. In tomatoes, red fruit (R) is dominant over yellow fruit (r). A plant that is
homozygous for red fruit is crossed with a plant that has yellow fruit. What will be
the genotype and phenotype of the offspring
