If a man and his wife are both homozygous recessive, will any of their offspring potentially have hitchhikers thumb? 1.What genotype(s) must the offspring have in order to have the phenotypic trait of hitchhiker’s thumb? 2. Do a cross to determine all potential hitchhiker’s thumb genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring of this man and woman.

Figure 8.10 In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white (p), and yellow peas (Y) are dominant to green (y). What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes for a cross between PpYY and ppYy pea plants? How many squares would you need to complete a Punnett square analysis of this cross?
In rabbits, black hair is due to a dominant allele B and brown hair to its recessive allele b. Short hair (H) is dominant to long hair (h). Show punnet squares In a cross between a homozygous black, longhaired rabbit and a brown, homozygous shorthaired one, what would the F1 generation look like? If you did not know the genotype of an F1 rabbit, you could determine its genotype by a test cross in which it is crossed with an animal with which phenotype AND genotype? If you carried out this test cross (from 2, using the F1 from 1), what phenotypes and in what ratio would you expect? What phenotypes in what ratio would be expected in the F2 generation of the cross in point 1?
There are 25 offspring from a cross of AaBb x AaBb. If Mendelian ratios are followed, how many offspring would you expect to have recessive phenotypes for both traits?
Gregor Mendel discovered the basis of heredity with his sweet pea plant experiments. In his studies, he determined that certain traits, such as pod color and pea shape, express complete dominance. A cross occurs between a plant with heterozygous yellow pods and wrinkled peas and a plant with green pods and heterozygous round peas. What is the probability that the offspring will exhibit recessive genes for both traits? A - 1/2B - 1/4C - 1/8D - 1/16
The American Curl is a breed of cat that has curly ears. The allele for the curly ears is dominant (E). Suppose a cat with the heterozygous genotype is bred to a female cat with the homozygous recessive genotype. Fill out a Punnett Square and answer the following questions. What is the phenotypic ratio of this punnett square? If this cross produces six kittens, how many of them will have curly ears? ________
In rabbits, black hair is due to a dominant allele B and brown hair to its recessive allele b. Short hair (H) is dominant to long hair (h). In a cross between a homozygous black, longhaired rabbit and a brown, homozygous shorthaired one, what would the F1 generation look like? If you did not know the genotype of an F1 rabbit, you could determine its genotype by a test cross in which it is crossed with an animal with which phenotype AND genotype If you carried out this test cross, what phenotypes and in what ratio would you expect? What phenotypes in what ratio would be expected in the F2 generation?

Colour-blindness is the result of an X-linked recessive allele, Xc. The allele for normal eyesight is XC. (a) A woman with normal colour vision whose father was colour-blind marries a colour-blind man. Give the genotypes and phenotypes of their children. What ratio of their children can be expected to be colour-blind? (b) A man with normal colour vision whose father was colour-blind marries a woman carrier of the colour-blind allele. What is the likelihood that their children will be colour-blind? Carriers of the trait?
The allele for dimples (D) is dominant to the allele for no dimples (d). A man heterozygous for dimples marries a woman who is also heterozygous for dimples. What is the man’s genotype and the woman’s genotype? What is the man’s phenotype and the woman’s phenotype? Do a cross to determine all potential dimple genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring of this man and woman.
Ariel was breeding dragons in her back yard. She knew that the green-scale allele (G) is dominant over the yellow-scale allele (g). Her favorite dragon, Oberon, had green scales. What possible genotypes could Oberon have ________ or __________? What type of dragon (genotype and phenotype) would Ariel need to cross Oberon to in order to figure out which genotype Oberon has ____________? When Ariel performed this test cross, half of Oberon’s offspring were green and half were yellow. Therefore, Oberon’s correct genotype is _______________?
A genetic engineer is going to cross two watermelon plants to produce seeds for a spring planting. He is breeding for size, and wants to have as many watermelons with the phenotype for long shape as possible. In watermelons, the allele for short shape (R) is dominant to the allele for long shape (r). Would crossing a watermelon homozygous recessive for the trait with a watermelon heterozygous for the trait give the most long watermelons possible? Explain your answer using Punnett Squares.
In rabbits, black fur (F) is dominant to white fur (f). You decide to cross a rabbit that is homozygous dominant for fur color with a rabbit that is heterozygous for fur color. Set up a Punnett Square for this cross and then answer the following questions. What percentage of offspring will have the FF phenotype?What percentage of offspring will have the ff phenotype?What percentage of offspring will have the Ff phenotype?
