Genetics Practice - Monohybrids & Dihybrids
1. Apea plant isthe F1 offspring ofa true-breeding plant with
purple flowers and a true-breeding plant with white flowers.
This plantis crossed with one that has white flowers
{recessive). How many of the plants in the next generation
vill have white flowers?
2. In humans, Cystic Fibrosis is caused be a recessive allele on
chromosome 7. A person must inherit two of these alleles to
hhave the disease. What are the chances ofa child having the
disease if both of the parents are heterozygous?
3. ifattached earlobes are recessive, and the
‘mother has attached earlobes (ff) and the
father isa heterozygote (Ff), how many of
their childcen will have attached earlobes?
4. In goats, a recessive gene causes the goats to "faint” when
‘they are startled. A farmer has a goat that isa carter for the
Tainting gene (Gg). Gertrude is mated with one that is
homozygous dominant. How many of their offspring will be
falinters?
5, Test crosses are performed to determine the genotype of
{an organism. A farmer buys a goat whose owner claims has
sired fainting goats, through Gary has never actually fainted
himself. What type of goat (genotype/shenotype) should the
farmer mate with Gary to determine if Gary really sa carter
Explain your reasoning by showing the cross.
6. In Guinea pigs, short hair is
‘dominant over long hai. Also, in
Guinea pigs, black eyes are
dominant to red eyes. A male
Guinea pig that is heterozygous for
booth traits (HhBb) is crossed with a
female that is long haired and red eyed (hhbb), What are the
expected phenotypes of their offspring and in what
proportion?
7. f both parents are heterozygous for both traits, what are
the expected phenotypes of their offspring and in what
Proportion? (You do not need to show a Punnett square for
this one)
8. In pea plants, purple lowers are dominant
towhite flowers. Round seeds are
dominant to wrinkled seeds. Do these
‘crosses without a Punnett square.
