What is the genotype AND phenotype of the chickens in the left 2 squares of the Punnett Square?

Genotype - Bb

Phenotype - Blue

If a trait doesn't appear in Generations I and II but appears in Generation III, is the trait recessive or dominant?

Recessive

In snapdragons, flower color is controlled by incomplete dominance.  The two alleles are red (R) and white (W).  The heterozygous phenotype is pink.

A pink-flowered plant is crossed with a white flowered plant.  What is the probability of producing a pink-colored plant?

50%

(50% white)

Create an example of incomplete dominance.

Answers will vary... traits must be MIXED/BLENDED

200

A trait that is stronger than another trait. The trait will always appear if present.

Dominant Trait

In dogs, straight ears are dominant to floppy ears. Two dogs that are both heterozygous for ear shape mate. What are the genotype percentages?

25% homozygous dominant
50% heterozygous
25% homozygous recessive

200

How many males?
How many females?
How many people have the trait?

16 males
18 females
10 people have the trait

Create an example of codominance.

Answers vary.

Answer should be something that shows BOTH traits.

Two traits are crossed: Aa and Ff.

What are the genotypes that a child could receive from their parents?

AF, Af, aF, or af

If an offspring has two alleles that are the same, it is

Homozygous

Green seeds are dominant to yellow seeds. Create a Punnett square showing a cross between a homozygous dominant green seeded plant and a yellow seeded plant.  What are the genotype percentages?

100% heterozygous

The pedigree above tracks the presence of attached earlobes through a family's generations. Having attached earlobes is an autosomal recessive trait.

What is the genotype of individual II-3?

Ee (Heterozygous)

In some chickens, the gene for feather color is controlled by codominance. The allele for black is B and the allele for white is W. The heterozygous phenotype is known as erminette (black and white spotted).

What are the genotype percentages if two Heterozygous chickens were crossed?

25% BB
50% BW
25% WW

300

What are all the Genotype possibilities if Bb and Rr were crossed?

BR, Br, bR, br

Based on the Punnett Square, what are the possible genotypes of the offspring?

Bb and bb

The pedigree above tracks the presence of attached earlobes through a family's generations. Having attached earlobes is an autosomal recessive trait.

If individuals I-1 and I-2 had a fourth child, what is the chance that the child would have attached earlobes?

50%

In humans, hair texture follows an incomplete dominance pattern. If a curly haired woman (HH) and a straight haired man (SS) had a baby, what would their phenotype AND genotype look like?

100% HS (Heterozygous)
Wavy hair

What are two ways we get genetic variation (think back to last unit and this unit)

Crossing over AND segregation of alleles

The color of someone's hair, eyes, skin is an example of

How would two parents who have brown hair (dominant) create a blonde hair (recessive) child?

They both carry the recessive allele.

How is I-1 related to IV-1?

How do we produce a child with blood type O?

Two recessive alleles (ii)
