Ptask - Genetics

The document outlines a performance task on Mendelian genetics, requiring students to solve genetic cross scenarios involving dominant and recessive traits. It includes three situations with instructions to determine parent genotypes, possible offspring genotypes, and phenotypes, as well as guiding questions about the significance of Mendelian genetics. Students are expected to apply their understanding of inheritance patterns and genetic disorders.

crossed with a homozygous short stem

Parent’s Genotype:

Situation 2: Oval face (O) in man is dominant over round face (o). If a homozygous oval-faced man marries a
homozygous round-faced woman.

Parent’s Genotype:

1st Parent: ________


2nd Parent: ________

Interpretation:

Situation 3: The alleles for dimples D is dominant to the alleles of no dimples d. Diego who is heterozygous
for dimples (Dd) marries Cassie who is also heterozygous for dimples (Dd).
Determine the following:
a. Diego’s genotype __________________
b. Cassie’s genotype__________________
2. Using a Punnett square, give the genotype and phenotype of their possible offspring.
