Perform the indicated single-gene and two-gene crosses. Show all work. Show all Punnett squares. List the gene or genes involved, list and define all allele symbols, and indicate the genotypes of the individuals you are crossing above the Punnett square. Answer questions that ask for a ratio as a ratio and questions that ask for a percent as a percent.   In humans, the allele for widow’s peak hairline is dominant to the allele for straight hairline. A woman with widow’s peak who is heterozygous marries a man with straight hairline and they decide to have children. Show the expected genotype ratio and phenotype ratio of the offspring.

Question
  1. I. Perform the indicated single-gene and two-gene crosses. Show all work. Show all Punnett squares. List the gene or genes involved, list and define all allele symbols, and indicate the genotypes of the individuals you are crossing above the Punnett square. Answer questions that ask for a ratio as a ratio and questions that ask for a percent as a percent.

 

  1. In humans, the allele for widow’s peak hairline is dominant to the allele for straight hairline. A woman with widow’s peak who is heterozygous marries a man with straight hairline and they decide to have children. Show the expected genotype ratio and phenotype ratio of the offspring.

 

  1. In snapdragon plants, the alleles for flower color show incomplete dominance. First show a cross of two parents, one with red flowers and the other with white flowers. Then show a cross of two of the F1 plants to get the F2 generation. Indicate the genotype ratio and phenotype ratio for both the F1 and F2 generations.

 

  1. A man with AB blood type and a woman with A blood type who is heterozygous decide to have children. What is the percentage chance they will have a child with B blood type?

 

  1. One form of red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. A heterozygote woman has children with a normal man. What is the percentage chance that they will have a child with color blindness?

 

 

  1. In humans, albinism is a recessively determined trait. One form of hereditary deafness is also a recessive trait. Show the cross of a man who is heterozygous for skin pigmentation and heterozygous for hereditary deafness with a woman who is albino and deaf. Show the expected phenotype ratio of the offspring.
