Different forms of the same gene are called ______________
•
__________________ are represented with letters

The Father of Genetics is ____________________________
Dominant and Recessive
Dominant Trait –
Dominant allele:
Recessive Trait –
Recessive allele:
Genotype and Phenotype
Genotype –
Examples of genotypes for yellow and green peas:
Phenotype –
Examples of phenotypes for yellow and green peas:
Homozygous and Heterozygous
Homozygous = ____________
Example – Baby with blue eyes
Homozygous –
She is _______________ for blue eyes. The only way the trait
will be expressed is if both ______________ genes are
present. Genotype: _____
Heterozygous = _____________
Example – Girl with brown eyes
Heterozygous –
She is ___________ for brown eyes. Her genotype contains

For SpongeBob’s family, square body shape is a dominant trait and round body shape is a recessive trait. Using the letter “s”,
write the genotypes for each phenotype below.
Homozygous square shape: _____ Heterozygous square shape: _____ Homozygous round shape: _____
4.
SpongeBob is heterozygous for his square shape. If he had children with someone who had a round body, what are the
chances their child would have a square body shape?

Punnett Squares

Punnett Square –
•
How to use a punnett square:
1. ________ a punnett square.
2. Determine ______________ genotypes. Put one parent’s _____________________ at the _____ of the
punnett square and the other parent’s ________________ on the _______ side of the punnett square.
3. Bring letters from _______ and ________ to fill out all _____ boxes.
4. Determine the possible offspring ______________________ and ____________________.
5. Record the chances for each offspring possibility in a ______________________.
Example 1: For eye color, brown eyes (B) are dominant to blue eyes (b). Bob has brown eyes but knows he is
heterozygous for brown eyes. His wife, Susie has blue eyes. If Bob and Susie have a child, what are the possible
genotypes and phenotypes of the child’s eye color?

Bob: _______
Susie: ________

Example 2: Cross a person who is purebred for curly hair (CC) with a person who is hybrid for curly hair (Cc). What
are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring’s hair types?

Punnett Square Practice Problems:
Complete the following problems. List the parent genotypes, draw and fill in a punnett square, and then list the
offspring genotypes and phenotypes.
1. A homozygous dominant brown mouse is crossed with a heterozygous brown mouse (tan is the recessive color).
2. Two heterozygous white rabbits are crossed (brown fur is recessive).
3. A heterozygous white rabbit is crossed with a homozygous brown rabbit (brown fur is recessive).
4. Two heterozygous red flowers are crossed (white flowers are recessive).
5. A homozygous tall plant is crossed with a heterozygous tall plant (short is the recessive size).
Extra credit: Write your own punnett square problem on a sheet of paper. On a separate sheet of paper, write the
solution including parent genotypes, completed punnett square, and offspring genotypes and phenotypes. Staple the
two sheets together and hand in by ____________________________.

Patterns of Inheritance
•
Complete Dominance –
Yellow flowers (Y) are dominant to white flowers (y).
How we describe the genotypes
Genotype (letter combination)
Phenotype (what we see)
Homozygous dominant
(Purebred)
Heterozygous
(Hybrid)
Homozygous recessive
(Purebred)
•
Incomplete Dominance –
In flowers, R is dominant for red flowers and W is recessive for white flowers. Hybrids (RW) tend to show a blended
trait of pink flowers.
How we describe the genotypes
Genotype (letter combination)
Phenotype (what we see)
Homozygous dominant

(Hybrid)
Homozygous recessive
(Purebred)

Co-dominance -
Andalusian chickens have one allele for white feathers and one allele for black feathers. Andalusian chickens that are
heterozygous appear to have black and white checkered feathers (BW). Where pure chickens are either black (BB) or
white (WW).

Patterns of Inheritance Practice Problems
Co-dominance Practice – Consider the Andalusian chickens from p. 4.
1. Cross two Andalusian chickens.
Offspring possibilities:
____% Black Chickens ____% Andalusian Chickens ____% White Chickens
2. Cross a black rooster with an Andalusian hen.
Offspring possibilities:
____% Black Chickens ____% Andalusian Chickens ____% White Chickens
Incomplete Dominance – In shorthorn cattle, color shows incomplete dominance. A red cow has the genotype RR. A
white cow has the genotype WW. Heterozygous cattle are called Roan (red and white spotted) RW.
3. Cross a red bull with a roan cow.
Offspring possibilities:
____% Red Cows ____% Roan Cows ____% White Cows
4. Cross a white bull with a red cow.
Offspring possibilities:
____% Red Cows ____% Roan Cows ____% White Cows

5. In Gorplex aliens, B is dominant for blue skin and Y is recessive for yellow skin. Hybrids (BY) tend to show an
incomplete dominant trait of green skin. Cross an alien with blue skin and an alien with green skin then answer
the questions below.
Offspring possibilities:
____% Blue skin ____% Yellow skin ____% Green skin
