Learning Tasks/Activities
For all the following questions, use these facts: the trait is fur color (f). Black fur is
dominant over gray fur.
1. Write the letter of the dominant allele. F
2. Write the letter of the recessive allele. f
3. Write out the homozygous dominant genotype (2 alleles). FF
4. Write out the heterozygous genotype (2 alleles). Ff
5. Write out the homozygous recessive genotype. ff
6. Write the genotype for gray fur. ff
7. Write the genotype for black fur. Ff or FF
8. Write the phenotype for #3. Black fur
9. Write the phenotype for #4. Black fur
10. Write the phenotype for #5. gray fur
Still using fur color, do the following monohybrid cross problems. (Remember: Black
fur is dominant over gray)

a. Write the genotype probabilities. 4 Ff
b. Write the phenotype probabilities. 4 Blacks : 0 gray

Instructions: Answer the following problem set for monohybrid and dihybrid cross.
Follow the steps provided above.
Monohybrid Cross
1. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive genetic disorder. Ron is homozygous dominant (FF)
and Nancy is a carrier (Ff) of cystic fibrosis. Use a Punnett square to predict the
probability that one of their children will have cystic fibrosis? Show all work and box
your final answer.

no freckles (ss). Draw a Punnett square predicting the probability if their children will
have freckles.

3. Eddie has brown eyes, while Cybil has blue. If brown eyes are known to be
dominant, and blue eyes are recessive, use a Punnett square to predict their offspring.
Assume Eddie doesn’t carry a recessive allele.

4. In horses, the coat color black is dominant (B) over chestnut (b). The trotting gait is
dominant (T) over the pacing gait (t). If a homozygous black pacer is mated to a
homozygous chestnut, heterozygous trotter, what will be the ratios for genotype and
phenotype of the F1 generation?

brown homozygous long-haired female, what would be the ratios for genotype and
phenotype of the F1 generation?
