Name: _________________________________ Date: __________________ Class: _______ DATA, OBSERVATIONS AND ANALYSIS FOR THE PTC LAB: Determination of Genotypes from Phenotypes in Humans 1. Fill in the boxes marked with a + in the column below by looking at the dominant and recessive traits to figure out what the phenotypes of the heterozygous individuals would be. Use the information at the beginning of this packet to help you. 2. Fill in the boxes marked with a * in the table below by looking at your OWN phenotypes (or have a partner look for you).

Using a colored pencil so that I can still read your genotypes and phenotypes, shade each box under “YOUR PHENOTYPE” and “YOUR POSSIBLE GENOTYPES” according to the following information: a. For the traits governed by complete dominance…. i. Shade in the traits for which you have a dominant phenotype RED. ii. Shade in the traits for which you have a recessive phenotype BLUE. b. For the traits governed by incomplete dominance…. i. Shade in the traits for which you are homozygous GREEN. ii. Shade in the traits for which you are blended phenotype PURPLE. 5. Look at the traits that are governed by complete dominance for which you have a dominant phenotype. What could you do to tell if your genotype was homozygous or heterozygous? 6. Why was untreated PTC paper used in the PTC taste test?
