Monohybrid Practice Problems Overhead

This document provides monohybrid practice problems and solutions involving traits of straight vs curly hair in humans and spotted vs solid coloration in beetles. For straight vs curly hair with two heterozygous parents, the offspring genotypic ratio is 1:2:1 and the probability of a curly-haired child is 25%. For a heterozygous male beetle crossed with a solid female, the genotypic and phenotypic ratios are both 1:1, with a 50% probability of producing a spotted offspring.
