The physical appearance of an organism
phenotype
Assume round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r). What is the phenotype for an organism with the genotype Rr?
round
How many possibilities are there for an offspring to have in a dihybrid cross? (Hint: After the Punnett square is complete?)
16
Segment of DNA that codes for traits
gene
Assume round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r).
Identify this genotype: rr
homozygous recessive
Give RrTt- write all the possible gamete combinations for this parent
RT, Rt, rT, rt
Different versions or forms of a gene
alleles
In hamsters, black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b), and rough fur (R) is dominant to smooth fur (r). What phenotypes will be expressed by each genotype below? 1. bbRR 2. Bbrr 3. BBRr
1. white, rough fur 2. black, smooth fur 3. black, rough fur
If aaBb is crossed with AAbb, what proportion of the offspring will be AAbb?
0/16 or 0%
The genetic makeup of an organism; the allele combinations of an organism
genotype
In hamsters, black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b), and rough fur (R) is dominant to smooth fur (r). What genotype(s) can a hamster have if it has black and rough fur?
BBRR or BbRr or BbRR or BBRr
If AaBb is crossed with aabb, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to be aabb?
4/16, 1/4, or 25%
A type of cross that presents the possible traits passed down to offspring for 2 traits.
a dihybrid cross
In rabbits, brown fur (B) is dominant to white fur and straight ears (S) are dominant to floppy ears. What genotype(s) will a rabbit have if it has white fur and straight ears?
bbSS or bbSs
In pigeons the checkered pattern (P) is caused by a dominant allele. A plain (non-checkered) pattern (p) is recessive. Red color (C) is also caused by a dominant allele and brown color (c) by a recessive allele. In a cross between a homozygous checkered red bird and a plain brown bird, what is the probability of producing a plain red bird?
0%
In pigeons the checkered pattern (P) is caused by a dominant allele. A plain (non-checkered) pattern (p) is recessive. Red color (C) is also caused by a dominant allele and brown color (c) by a recessive allele. In a cross between two heterozygous checkered and red birds, what is the probability of having offspring with both dominant traits?
