MENDELIAN PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE

A. Identify the following as genotype or gamete. If it is a genotype, write all possible gametes that
can be formed.
Gamete 1. Bb
Gamete 2. Gh
Gamete 3. Ee
Genotype 4. CCDd
Gamete 5. ABcd
Genotype 6. HhRr

CD, Cd
HR, Hr, hR, hr

B. Write the following in symbols, given the assigned letter for the alleles.
R- round seed
Y- yellow seed
A- axial position
I- inflated pod
r- wrinkled seed
y- green seed
a- terminal position
i- constricted pod
RR 1. Homozygous round
rr 5. Wrinkled seed
Yy 2. Heterozygous yellow
II 6. Homozygous inflated
Aa 3. Heterozygous axial
AA 7. Homozygous axial
ii 4. Constricted pod
yy 8. Green seed
C. COUNTING # OF GAMETES.

D. Problem Solving. Solve the following completely. Show your Punnett square.
1. In humans, right-handedness (R) is dominant to
left-handedness (r). If a heterozygous righthanded man marries a left-handed woman, what
will be the possible:
a. genotype of the offspring?
Rr or rr
b. phenotype of the offspring?
Right Handed or Left Handed
c. probability of producing left-handed child?
1/2
2. Widows peak (H) is dominant to straight hairline
(h). A couple both heterozygous for the trait
decided to marry. What will be the possible:
a. F1 genotype?
HH, Hh or hh
b. F1 phenotype?
Widow's peak or straight hairline
c. F1 phenotypic ratio?
3:1

3. If you cross a heterozygous tall pea plant with a

homozygous tall pea plant, what is the probability
of having:
a. tall plants? 1
b. short plants? 0
c. pure tall plants? 1/2
d. hybrid tall plants? 1/2

4. A pea plant with heterozygous round seeds is

crossed with a plant which has wrinkled seeds.
What are the chances of having:
a. wrinkled-seeded plants? 1/2
b. round-seeded plants? 1/2

5. The presence of dimple (D) in humans is a

dominant trait. A homozygous dimpled man and a
non-dimpled woman have 4 children. What are
the possible F1
a. genotypes? Dd
b. phenotypes? Dimpled
* If they decided to have a 5th child, predict the
childs
c. genotype Dd
d. phenotype Dimpled

PUNNETT SQUARES - DIHYBRID CROSSES

In a dihybrid cross, when two traits are considered, the number of possible combinations in the offspring
increases. Suppose that black hair (B) is dominant over blonde hair (b) and brown eyes (E) are dominant
over blue eyes (e).
1. The father has black hair (heterozygous) and brown eyes (heterozygous) and the mother has blonde hair
and blue eyes.
Genotype of the father BbEe
Genotype of the mother - bbee
