I. MONOHYBRID CROSSES and INCOMPLETE DOMINACE
1. Most individuals of a certain wild flower have white petals, but a few are blue. Crosses have
shown that the blue color is due to a RECESSIVE allele. Use “ W ” for white and “ w ’’ for blue.
A. What is the GENOTYPE of a blue-flowered plant and what GAMETES would I produce as a
result of MEIOSIS?
The genotype of a blue-flowered plant with the recessive trait is denoted by “ ww ’’. Because both
alleles are recessive, it can only produce gametes with the single “ w ’’ allele. Therefore all the
gametes produced by a blue-flowering plant will always be “ w ’’.
B. What is/are the genotypes of each of a blue-flowered plant’s parents?
The genotype of a blue-flowered offspring is “ ww ’’, it means there is a possibility that either be
the parents of the blue-flowered are heterozygous “ Ww ”carrying one dominant and recessive
allele or homozygous carrying recessive allele “ ww ’’. As a result, each parent might contribute
one recessive allele.
C. If a blue-flowered plant is crossed has two white- flowered parent, and the parents produced
many offspring, what fraction of them would you expect to be blue?
Given: Punnet Square:
Blue flower – ww
White flower- Ww and Ww
GENOTYPES:
WW-1, Ww- 2 , ww- 1
FRACTION OF ww
BLUE: 1/4 = 25%
D. If a blue-flowered plant is crossed with its white-flowered parent, what fraction of their
offspring would have the genotype “ww’’ ?
GIVEN: Punnet Square:
Blue flower – ww
White flower- Ww
GENOTYPE:
Ww-2 , ww-2
FRACTION OF ww
BLUE: 2/4 = 50%
E. If two blue-flowered plant cross, what fraction of their offspring will be blue? White?
GIVEN: PUNNET SQUARE:
Two Blue-Flowered plant- ww , ww
GENOTYPE: ww- 4
BLUE: 4/4 = 100%
WHITE: 0/4 = 0%
2. Four o'clocks exhibit incomplete dominance. Thus, if a plant with red flowers is crossed with a
plant with white flowers, the offspring will all produce pink flowers. What offspring would you
expect if you crossed a red-flowered plant with a pink-flowered plant?
GIVEN: PUNNETT SQUARE:
Red flowers – RR
White flowers- r
Pink Flower- Rr
Offspring form from the Crosses: Therefore the offspring will have 50%
Red flower (RR) = 2/4 making it 50% for both red and pink and 0 %
Pink flower (Rr) = 2/4 making it 50% from white flower.
II. DIHYRID CROSSES
3. How many different kinds of gametes can an organism of genotypes RrSS produce?
GIVEN: GAMETES:
Rr and SS Rr SS
FOIL METHOD;
Rr x SS – RS, rS RS rS
There are 2 gametes
4. In Jimsonweed, purple flower color (P) is dominant over white (p) and spiny pods (S) over
smooth pods (s). These pairs of alleles are not linked. A Jimsonweed of genotype PPss is crossed
with one of ppss. What is the genotype of the F1 generation? The phenotype?
GIVEN:
PPss x ppss PUNNETT SQUARE:
GAMETES: Ps Ps ps ps “Ps” & “ps”
GENOTYPE: Poss PHENOTYPE: Purple (color), Smooth (texture)
[Link] peas, the gene for tall plants (T) is dominant over the gene for dwarf plants (t) and round
seed (R) is dominant over wrinkled seed (r). If one crosses a homozygous tall, wrinkled-seeded
plant with a homozygous dwarf, round-seeded plant, what is the phenotype of the F1? The
genotype of F1? The phenotypic ratio of F2?
GIVEN: Tr and tR
GENOTYPE F1: Tt Rr
Phenotype F1:
Height: It will be tall (T) as dominant allele is over recessive dwarf (t).
Shape: It will be Round (R) as dominant allele is over recessive wrinkled (r).
P1: Tr x tR TTrr x ttRR “Tr tR x Tr tR”
GAMETES: Tr, Tr, Tr, Tr x tR, tR, tR, Tr
Tr tR (Punnet) “Combine”
PHENOTYPE: Height: Tall

P2: TtRr x TtRr
GAMETES: TR Tr tR tr x TR Tr tR tr
F2:
PHENOTYPIC RATIO: 9: 3: 3: 1

offspring? a. BbDD; b. BbDd; c. bbDD; d. bbDd; e. BBDd
GIVEN:
BbDD x bbDd
FOIL METHOD: F1:
BD, BD, bD, bD,
