1. In summer squash, white fruit color (A) is dominant over yellow fruit color (a). If a squash plant
homozygous for white is crossed with a plant homozygous for yellow, what will the phenotypic and
genotypic ratios be for: 15PTS
2. Hornless (H) in cattle is dominant over horned (h). A homozygous hornless bull is mated with a
homozygous horned cow. What will be the genotype and phenotype of the first generation? 15PTS
3. For a particular rodent, black fur (B) is dominant over brown fur (b), and a long tail (L) is dominant over a
short tail (l). Create a Punnett square that shows the genotypes of all the possible offspring that could
result from the breeding of rodents that are heterozygous for both traits and homozygous recessive for
both traits. 20PTS
