SpongeBob Co-Dominace Part 2

1. Codominance is shown in Poofkin flowers that are red and blue. The genotype for red is RR, blue is BB, and red-blue is RB. 2. Crossing a red Poofkin (RR) with a blue Poofkin (BB) would result in all offspring having both red and blue colors (RB genotype). 3. Crossing two red-blue Poofkins (RB) would produce offspring that are 25% red (RR), 50% red-blue (RB), and 25% blue (BB).

Codominance vs. Incomplete Dominance

SpongeBob loves growing flowers for his pal Sandy! Her favorite flowers, Poofkins, are found in red and
blue as well as flowers with both colors. Use the information provided and your knowledge of
CODOMINANCE to complete each section below.

1. Write the correct genotype for each color if R represents a red gene and B represents a blue gene.

Red Flowers - RR Blue Flowers - BB Flowers with Red & Blue - RB

2. What would happen if SpongeBob crossed a Poofkin with red flowers with a Poofkin with blue flowers.
Complete the Punnett square to determine the chances of each flower color.

(a) Give the genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring.


RR RB
(b) How many of the plants would have red flowers 0%?
100 RB BB
(c) How many of the plants would have flowers with both colors100? %

ddddd (d) How many of the plants would have blue flowers? 0%

3. What would happen if SpongeBob crossed two Poofkins with flowers made of a mix of red and blue?
Complete the Punnett square to show the probability for each flower color.

(a) Give the genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring.


RR- RED RB- PURPLE BB-BLUE
RR manyRB
(b) How of the plants would have red flowers? 25%

RB BB (c) How many of the plants would have flowers with both colors? 50%

(d) How many of the plants would have blue flowers?25%


H

4. What would happen if SpongeBob crossed flowers with both colors with one with only blue flowers?
Complete the Punnett square to show the probability for plants with each flower color.

(a) Give the genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring.

RB- PURPLE
RB BB- BLUE
BB

RB BB
(b) If SpongeBob planted 100 seeds from this cross, how many should
he expect to have of each color?
N
Blue flowers – 50 Red flowers – 0 Flowers with both colors = 50

SpongeBob and his pal Patrick love to go jellyfishing at Jellyfish Fields! The fields are home to a special
type of green jellyfish known as Goobers and only really great jellyfishermen are lucky enough to catch
some on every trip. Many of the jellyfish are yellow (YY) or blue (BB), but some end up green as a result of
INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE. Use this information to help you complete each section below.

5. What would happen if SpongeBob and Patrick crossed two “goobers” or green jellyfish? Complete the
Punnett square to help you determine the probability for each color of jellyfish.

(a) Give the possible genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring.
YY- YELLOW YB- GOOBERS BB- BLUE

YY YB
(b) What percentage of the offspring would be yellow? 25%
YB BB
(c) What percentage would be blue? 25%

g (d) What percentage would be “goobers” (green)? 50%

6. What would happen if they crossed a yellow jellyfish with a goober? Complete the Punnett square to
help you determine the probability for each color of jellyfish.

(a) Give the possible genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring.
YY- YELLOW YB- GOOBERS
YY YY

YB YB (b) What percentage of the offspring would be yellow? 50%

(c) What percentage would be blue? 0%


N
(d) What percentage would be “goobers” (green)? 50%

7. What would happen if they crossed a blue jellyfish with a yellow jellyfish? Complete the Punnett square
to help you answer the questions.

YB
If 100 jellyfish YB produced from this cross, how many would you expect for each?
were

YB YB Yellow - 0 Blue - 0 Goobers - 100

8. What would happen if they crossed a blue jellyfish with a goober? Complete the Punnett square to help
you answer the questions.

If 100 YB
jellyfish YB
were produced from this cross, how many would you expect for each?

BB BB Yellow - 0 Blue - 50 Goobers - 50
