Mendelian Genetics Punnett Square Question : In cattle, the hornless condition (H) is dominant to that for the possession of horns (h). a) A horned bull is mated to a hornless cow which is heterozygous . What kind of offspring are to be expected and in what ratio ? b) If the cow is then mated to a hornless bull which is also heterozygous, what is the chance that the first calf will have horns ? c) Assuming that the first calf has horns, what is the chance that the second calf will be hornless ?
Fruit flies are very useful model organisms that have been used to study genetics. One mutant recessive trait in fruit flies is called "eyeless" because it causes flies to have no eyes. Cross an eyeless fly with a homozygous normal fly. a. Draw the Punnett square. b. What is the genotyoe ratio of the offspring? c. What is the phenotype ratio of the offspring? d. What genetic problem is this? (monohybrid, dihybrid or multiple allele)
A dog breeder liked yellow and brown Labrador retrievers. In an attempt to produce yellow and brown puppies, he mated a yellow Labrador male and a brown Labrador female. Unfortunately, all the puppies produced in this cross were black. a. Explain this result. b. How might the breeder go about producing yellow and brown Labradors?

Fruit flies with one allele for curly wings (Cy) andone allele for normal wings (Cy+) have curly wings.When two curly-winged flies were crossed, 203curly-winged and 98 normal-winged flies wereobtained. In fact, all crosses between curly-wingedflies produce nearly the same curly : normal ratioamong the progeny.a. What is the approximate phenotypic ratio in theseoffspring?b. Suggest an explanation for these data.c. If a curly-winged fly was mated to a normalwinged fly, how many flies of each type would youexpect among 180 total offspring?

In the following pedigree, filled circles or squares indicate affected individuals. Write your answers based on this. a. Does the following pedigree suggest mitochondrial inheritance? Why or why not? b. What other mode(s) of inheritance is (are) consistent with these data? c. How could you distinguish between mitochondrial inheritance and any other possibility that is consistent with the data?
A woman with a rare autosomal recessive disorder was told that it was unlikely that her children would have the disorderas her husband did not have it. However, her first child has the disorder. a. What is the most likely explanation? b. Diagram the cross between the woman and her husband using a Punnett square, give the genotypic ratio (GR) and phenotypic ratio (PR) from the Punnett square. c. Based on the Punnett square results, what is the chance that her next child will have the disorder?
