MONOHYBRID CROSSES
To solve genetics problems, REMEMBER:
1) Make an allele key: upper case letter = dominant, lower case = recessive
2) Determine the parent genotypes.
3) Separate the parent alleles and write one outside each box of a Punnett square.
4) Inside the boxes of a Punnett square write the new allele combinations.
5) Determine offspring genotype and phenotype ratios.
1. Parent genotypes: Rr x Rr
R = ________ r = _________
Parent gametes: ___________________
Offspring: Genotype ratio ___________________
Phenotype ratio ___________________
2. In flies, long wings(L) are dominant over short (l). If two heterozygous
flies mate, what genotype and phenotype ratios are expected?
Allele Key: Long = _______ short = _______
Parent genotypes: ___________ X _____________
Parent gametes: ____________________
Offspring: Genotype ratio ___________________
Phenotype ratio ___________________
3. In pea seeds, green (G) is dominant over yellow (g). Cross a
homozygous green plant with a heterozygous green plant.
Allele key: G = ____________ g = _______________
Parent genotypes: __________ X _____________
Parent gametes: _________________________
Offspring: Genotype ratio _____________
Phenotype ratio _____________
4. Cross an albino rat with a heterozygous normal rat. Normal is dominant.

DIHYBRID CROSSES – two traits independent of each other
Remember: each trait has two alleles in the genotype. Gametes need one letter from each pair
1) In mice, gray fur is dominant to white, furry is dominant to hairless. Cross two
heterozygous gray, heterozygous furry mice. Find phenotype ratio.
Allele Key: gray = ______ white = _______
furry = ______ hairless = ________
Parent genotypes: ________________________
Parent gametes: __________________________
(Consider ALL possible gamete combinations!)
Offspring Phenotypes:
Number of each
gray and furry ___________________
Gray and hairless _________________
White and furry __________________
White and hairless ________________
2) About 70% of Americans perceive a bitter taste from the chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). The
ability to taste this chemical results from a dominant allele (T) and not being able to taste PTC is the
result of having two recessive alleles (t). Albinism is also a single locus trait with normal pigment being
dominant (A) and the lack of pigment being recessive (a). A normally pigmented woman who cannot
taste PTC has a father who is an albino taster. She marries a homozygous, normally pigmented man
who is a taster but who has a mother that does not taste PTC. What are the phenotypes of the possible
children (choose all that apply)?
Allele Key: taster = ______ nontaster = _______
Normal pigment = ______ albino = ________

ANOTHER WAY TO DO DIHYBRID CROSSES – use PROBABILITY
We can find the probability that two or more independent events will occur together in
some specific combination by finding the probability of each event separately, then use:
Rule of Multiplication- MULTIPLY the probability of one event by the
probability of the other event
Example: P = AaBb x aaBb

An aquatic arthropod called a Cyclops has antennae that are either smooth or
barbed. The allele for barbs is dominant. In the same organism, resistance to
pesticides is a recessive trait. Exoskeleton color may be brown (dominant) or
yellow (recessive) Make a "key" to show all the possible genotypes (and
phenotypes) of this organism. Use the rabbit key to help you if you're lost.

INTERMEDIATE INHERITANCE - INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE
Neither allele is completely dominant  “blending” of phenotypes in heterozygote
In the Japanese Four-O-Clock flower, the gene controlling flower color has alleles that are neither
dominant nor recessive. Plants that have two red alleles (RR) have red flowers. Plants with two
white alleles (WW) are white. Plants with one red allele and one white allele (RW) are pink

CODOMINANCE
Alleles are both dominant. In the heterozygote, both traits are expressed fully.

have a mixture of red hairs and white hairs and the horses are called roan.

MULTIPLE ALLELES
For some genes, more than two different alleles exist in a population.
Any organism still gets only two (one from each parent), but there are
more possible combinations than for simple dominant/recessive
genes. The best known example of multiple alleles involves the gene
for blood type in humans. This gene has three different alleles and is
located on chromosome 9.
Allele IA (or A) - codes for type A blood
Allele IB (or B) - codes for type B blood. A and B are codominant.
Allele i (or O) - codes for type O blood. O is recessive

Mrs. Brown has blood type A and Mr. Brown has blood type B.
A baby is born with type O blood. Which couple does the
baby belong to and how do you know?

SEX-LINKED INHERITANCE
Genes on the X and Y chromosome show a different pattern than autosomal genes. The X chromosome
is large and carries many more genes than the Y. Recessive disorders are more common in the male,
because he has only one X, and if it carries a recessive allele, the recessive trait will appear.
1. A boy, whose parents and grandparents had normal vision, is color-blind.
What are the genotypes for his mother and his maternal grandparents.
Use XB for the dominant normal condition and Xb for the recessive,
color-blind phenotype.
The boy’s genotype ___________________
Mother’s genotype _____________
Grandparents genotype _____________ and ______________
2. A woman with red-green color-blindness has a mother with normal
vision. Knowing that color-blindness is a sex-linked recessive gene,
can you determine what her father's phenotype is?
Woman’s genotype _____________________
Her mother’s genotype ______________________
Her father’s genotype _______________________
3. Imagine that you are a genetic counselor, and a couple who are planning to have children comes
to you for advice. Diane’s brother has Duchesne muscular dystrophy, a degenerative disease of
the muscles which is carried on the X chromosome. There is no history of this disease in Craig’s
family.
a. From which parent did Diane’s brother get the MD gene? _____
b. What is the probability that Diane is a carrier for Muscular Dystrophy? _____

living in the very wet cloud forests of Central America. Assume that
the normal spots (XN, pictured here) are a dominant, sex-linked
trait and that dark spots are the recessive counterpart. Suppose a
male with dark spots mates with a female with normal spots. She
has four cubs and, conveniently, two are male and two female.
One male and one female cub have normal spots and one of each
has dark spots. What is the genotype of the mother?
Normal spotted female genotype _________________
Dark spotted male genotype ___________________

SEX-LINKED CROSSES: HEMOPHILIA
1. In humans, hemophilia is a sex linked trait. Females can be normal, carriers, or have
the disease. Males will either have the disease or not (but they won’t ever be carriers)
X H X H = female, normal
X H X h = female, carrier
X h X h = female, hemophiliac
X H Y = male, normal
X h Y= male, hemophiliac
a. Show the cross of a man who has hemophilia with a woman who is a carrier.

PEDIGREES trace a particular trait through a family tree. We can use a pedigree to determine if a trait
is dominant or recessive, autosomal or sex-linked, to find the genotype of individuals in the family, and
to predict the chance of a trait appearing in future offspring

The bison herd on Konza Prairie has begun to show a genetic defect. Some of the males have a condition
known as "rabbit hock" in which the knee of the back leg is malformed slightly. We do not yet know the
genes controlling this trait but for the sake of our question, we shall assume it is a sex-linked gene and
that it is recessive. Now, suppose that the herd bull (the dominant one which does most of the breeding)
who is normal (XN) mates with a cow that is a carrier for rabbit hock. What are his chances of producing
a normal son?
