Fill in the Punnett squares for each cross given to determine the phenotype and genotype ratio’s of the offspring

Crosses with one homozygous dominant parent:

AA x AA AA x Aa AA x aa

AA AA AA AA Aa Aa

AA AA Aa Aa Aa Aa

Offspring Genotypes:
50 50 0
AA 100 Aa 0 aa 0 AA Aa aa AA 0 Aa 100 aa 0
Offspring Phenotypes:
Dominant 100 Dominant 100 Dominant 100

Recessive 0 Recessive 0 Recessive 0

Crosses with one heterozygous parent:

Aa x AA Aa x Aa Aa x aa

AA Aa AA Aa Aa aa

AA Aa aa
Aa Aa aa

Offspring Genotypes:
50
AA 50 Aa 50 aa 0 AA 25 Aa 50 aa 25 AA 0 Aa aa 50
Offspring Phenotypes:
100 75 50
Dominant Dominant Dominant
Recessive 0 Recessive 25 Recessive 50

Crosses with one homozygous recessive parent:

aa x AA aa x Aa aa x aa

Aa Aa Aa Aa aa aa

aa aa aa aa
Aa Aa

Offspring Genotypes:
100
AA 0 Aa 100 aa 0 AA 0 Aa 50 aa 50 AA 0 Aa 0 aa
Offspring Phenotypes:
Dominant 100 Dominant 50 Dominant 0

Recessive 0 Recessive 50 Recessive 100

Refer to the crosses that you worked out on the front of this page to answer questions 1-8

1. What crosses will result in all dominant phenotype offspring?

AA x AA + AA x Aa + AA x aa + Aa x AA + aa x Aa

2. What cross will result in all recessive phenotype offspring?

aa x aa

3. What cross will result in half dominant and half recessive phenotype offspring?

Aa x aa + aa x Aa

4. What cross will result in a ratio of 3 dominant phenotype offspring for every 1 recessive offspring?

Aa x Aa
5. What cross will result in a 1:2:1 genotype ratio in the offspring?

Aa x Aa
6. What cross will result in all homozygous recessive offspring?

aa x aa

7. What cross will result in half homozygous dominant offspring and half heterozygous offspring?

Aa x aa
8. What cross will result in all heterozygous offspring?

AA x AA

9. In dogs, black fur (B) is dominant over yellow fur (b). A homozygous black dog is mated with a yellow dog.
Do a punnett square to show the cross and predict the offspring (phenotypes and genotypes)

BB x bb

genotype: phenotype:
BB: 0 dominants: 100
Bb: 100 recessive: 0
bb: 0

10. In dogs, black fur (B) is dominant over yellow fur (b). A heterozygous black dog is mated with a yellow dog.
Do a punnett square to show the cross and predict the offspring (phenotypes and genotypes)

Bb x bb

genotype: phenotype:
BB: 0 dominants: 50
Bb: 50 recessive: 50
bb : 50
