Part A1: Vocabulary
Match the definitions on the left with the terms on the right.
A. Alleles
1. Genotypes made of the same alleles
B. Dominant
2. Different forms of genes for a single trait
C. Heterozygous
3. Gene that is always expressed
D. Homozygous
4. Gene that is expressed only in the homozygous state
E. Recessive
5. Genotypes made of two different alleles
Part A2. Below each of the following words are choices. Circle the choices that are examples of each of those words.
6. Dominant allele
D e k L N n R S
7. Recessive allele
M n d F G r k P
8. Homozygous dominant
AA Gg KK mm uu Rr TT
9. Homozygous recessive

Part B. Monohybrid Cross Problems. This cross is based on the first law of genetics. A monohybrid cross is a mating between two organisms with different
variations between two genetic chromosome of interest. Generally, the monohybrid cross is used to determine the dominance relationship between two alleles.

Problem for 10-11. In guinea pigs, short hair, S, is dominant to long hair, s. Complete the following Punnett squares according to the directions given. Then, fill in
the blanks beside each Punnett square with the correct numbers.
a. One guinea pig is Ss and one is ss.
Expected number of offspring:
Genotype:
Phenotype:
b. Both guinea pigs are heterozygous for short hair.
Expected number of offspring:
Genotype:
Phenotype:
12. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive genetic disorder. Ron is homozygous dominant (FF) and Nancy is a carrier (Ff) of
cystic fibrosis. Use a Punnett square to predict the probability that one of their children will have cystic
fibrosis?

Expected number of offspring:

Genotype:
Phenotype:

Part C. Dihybrid Cross Practice. Dihybrid cross is a between two different lines that differ in observed traits. In the name “Dihybrid Cross” the “di”
indicates that there are two traits involved and “hybrid” means that each trait has two different alleles and lastly “cross” means combining.
Directions:
In rabbits, gray hair (G) is dominant to white hair (g), and black eyes (B) are dominant to red eyes
(b). These two traits are independent of each other. In other words, a female rabbit with the
genotype GgBb may produce eggs with the alleles GB, Gb, gB, or gb. To predict the probability of
these sorts of crosses, we will make a dihybrid Punnett Square.

13-16. What are the phenotypes (descriptions) of rabbits that have the following genotypes:
13.Ggbb____________________ 15.ggBB_________________________
14.ggbb ____________________ 16.GgBb ________________________

17-20 A male rabbit with the genotype GGbb is crossed with a female rabbit with the genotype ggBb
The Square is set up below. Fill it out and determine the phenotypes and proportions in the
offspring

How many out of 16 are:

Grey, red-eyed ________

Grey, black-eyed ________

White, red-eyed ________

White, black-eyed ________
