An
aquatic
arthropod
called
a
Cyclops
has
antennae
that
are
either
smooth
or
barbed.
The
allele
for
barbs
(B)
is
dominant
over
smooth
(bb).
In
the
same
organism
Non-resistance
to
pesticides
(N)
is
dominant
over
resistance
to
pesticides
(nn).

DiHybrid
Practice
Problems
1. In man, assume that spotted skin (S) is dominant over non-spotted skin (s) and that
wooly hair (W) is dominant over non-wooly hair (w). Cross a marriage between a
heterozygous spotted, non-wooly man with a heterozygous wooly-haired, non-spotted
woman. Give genotypic and phenotypic ratios of offspring.
2. In horses, black is dependent upon a dominant gene, B, and chestnut upon its recessive
allele, b. The trotting gait is due to a dominant gene, T, the pacing gait to its recessive
allele, t. If a homozygous black pacer is mated to a homozygous chestnut trotter, what will
be the appearance of the F1 generation?
3. In
summer
squash,
white
fruit
color
(W)
is
dominant
over
yellow
fruit
color
(w)
and
disk-
shaped
fruit
(D)
is
dominant
over
sphere-shaped
fruit
(d)..
If
a
squash
plant
true-breeding
for
white,
disk-shaped
fruit
is
crossed
with
a
plant
true-breeding
for
yellow,
sphere-shaped
fruit,
5. In mice, the ability to run normally is a dominant trait. Mice with this trait are called
running mice (R). The recessive trait causes mice to run in circles only. Mice with this trait
are called waltzing mice (r). Hair color is also inherited in mice. Black hair (B) is dominant
over brown hair (b).For each of the following problems, determine the parent genotypes,
determine possible gametes then construct a Punnet square to solve.
a. Cross a heterozygous running, heterozygous black mouse with a homozygous running,
homozygous black mouse

1.Set up a punnett square using the following information:
Dominate allele for tall plants = D
Recessive allele for dwarf plants = d

Recessive allele for white fur in guinea pigs =b
Dominate allele for rough fur in guinea pigs =R
Recessive allele for smooth fur in guinea pigs = r
Cross a heterozygous parent (BbRr) with a
heterozygous parent (BbRr)
4. Using the punnett square in question #3:
a. What is the probability of producing guinea
pigs with black, rough fur?
Possible genotype(s)?
b. What is the probability of producing guinea
pigs with black, smooth fur?
Possible genotype(s)?
c. What is the probability of producing guinea
pigs with white, rough fur?
Possible genotype(s)?

pigs with white, smooth fur?
