Complete or simple Dominance (monohybrid cross)

In humans, brown hair color is dominant (B allele) over blonde color (b allele). Suppose a
blonde man (genotype of man ) marries a brown haired woman (the father of the
woman was blonde (geno pe of the father of the woman )). Now what is the
genotype of the woman

b bb
Use the Punnett square abov to calculate the expected genotypic ratio of the children
(number and genotype 2.30 ) and phenotypic ratio of the
children (number and phenotype)?

Incomplete Dominance
In radishes, the gene that controls color exhibits incomplete dominance. Pure-
breeding red radishes crossed withpure-breeding white radishes makepurple
radishes. What are the genotypic and phenotypicratios when you cross a purple
radish with a white radish?

 Multiple Alleles and Codominance
Human blood types are detennined by genes that follow the CODOMINANCE pattern of inheritance.
There are two dominant alleles (IAand 1B) and one recessive allele (i).

Blood Type Genotype Can donate blood to: Can receive blood from:

I . Write the genotype for each person based on the description:

a. Homozygous for the "B" allele

b. Heterozygous for the "A" allele
c. Type O
d. Type "A" and had a type "O" parent
e. Type "AB"
f. Blood can be donated to anybody C)
g. Can only get blood from a type "O" donor

 Dihybrid Crosses
In humans there is a disease called Phenylketonuria (PKU)which is caused by a recessive allele.
People with this allele have a defective enzyme and cannot break down the amino acid
phenylalanine. This disease can result in mental retardation or death. Let
normal_gyyyne. Also in humans in a condition called galactose intolerance or galactosema,
is also caused by a recessive allele. Let "G" represen! the normal allele for galactose
digestion. In both diseases, normal dominates over recessive. If two adults were heterozygous for
both traits SES9æ), what are the. chances of having a child that is completely normal? Has just
PKU? Has just galactosemia? Has both diseases?
