GENETICS & HEREDITY EXERCISE 2
1. The crossing of true breeding black mice and
white mice produces black mice in all of
offspring (F1). The F1 offspring are crossed
with each other and produces F2. What is the
genotypic ratio of F2?
2. See the following diagram!
The F1 obtained is crossed with the recessive
plant and produce 60 new plants. How many
F2 that have pink flower?
3. Cantika is given an assignment to make
family tree based on the blood type. Based on
the data she obtained from her big family, she
made a family tree like this.
The correct blood type for grandpa, Ayu,
Bagas, and Ananda is ……
4. In peas plant round seed (R) is dominant to
wrinkle seed (r); while yellow seed (Y) is
dominant to green seed (y). Crossing of round
and yellow peas with wrinkle and green peas
produce progeny with phenotype round and
yellow: round and green = 1:1, determine:
A. Parental genotype.
B. Make the crossing.
5. We cross the big-thick flesh of rambutan
(BbTt) and small-thick flesh of rambutan
(bbTt). The following is Punnett square of that
crossing.
Based on the table, the phenotypic ratio of
big-thick flesh and big-thin flesh rambutan
is…
6. A man with dark (dominant), curly (see
problem I.5.) hair marries a woman with light,
straight hair. Their daughter, who happens to
have dark hair, marries a man with light, wavy
hair. Answer the following questions about
this dark-haired daughter and her family.
a. Draw a Punnett’s square for this
marriage and predict the phenotypic
ratio among the offspring of the
daughter and her husband.
b. What is the chance that they will have
a child with hair just like his or her
father’s?
7. Ethan is colorblind. His wife, Edna, is
homozygous for the normal color vision
allele. If they have eight children, how many
of them would you expect to be colorblind?
8. In humans, the gene for normal blood clotting
is dominant to the gene for hemophilia.
Persons with hemophilia do not have the
correct blood proteins for the normal clotting
of blood. This gene is on the X chromosome.
Suppose that a woman heterozygous for the
trait (but with normal blood clotting) marries
a man with normal blood clotting. Determine
the following probabilities:
a. The probability of getting a hemophilic
child.
b. The probability of getting a “carrier”
child.
c. The probability of getting a normal
(neither hemophilic nor carrier) child.
d. The probability of having a son that is
normal.
e. The probability of having a son that is
hemophilic.
f. The probability of having a son that is
carrier.
