Lesson 9: Mendelian Genetics – Gene Linkage and Polyploidy

Student Name: ________________________

Ex.1: Define the following terms.


1) Genetics
2) Allele
3) Dominant Allele
4) Recessive Allele
5) Homozygous
6) Heterozygous
7) Genotype
8) Phenotype
9) Law of segregation
10) Genetic Recombination
11) Polyploidy

Ex.2: What is a true-breeding plant?

Ex.3: In Mendel’s experiment with green and yellow seeds, what was the dominant
trait?

Ex.4: What would be the phenotype of a heterozygous, recessive (yy) pea plant?

Ex.5: True-breeding yellow-seeded and green- seeded plants are crossed and produce
yellow-seeded offspring. Which of these plants is a hybrid?

Ex.6: What is the purpose of a Punnett square?

Ex.7: The fruit fly has four chromosome pairs. How many possible combinations of
chromosomes can be produced by meiosis and fertilization?

Ex.8: Name two organisms that have polyploidy.

Ex.9: What are the percents of genotypes you would expect in any cross between two
heterozygous parents? Use the letters B and b in your answer.

Ex.10: What are the percents of phenotypes you would expect in any cross between
two heterozygous parents?

Ex.11: Predict the percents of genotypes you would expect in any cross between a
homozygous dominant parent and a homozygous recessive parent.

Ex.12: Predict the percents of phenotypes you would expect in any cross between a
homozygous dominant parent and a homozygous recessive parent.

Ex.13: Predict the percents of genotypes and phenotypes you would expect in any
cross between a heterozygous parent and a homozygous recessive parent.

Ex.14: In a cross between a homozygous dominant parent and a homozygous


recessive parent, what is the chance of the offspring having a heterozygous genotype?

Ex.15: In a cross between a homozygous dominant parent and a homozygous


recessive parent, what is the chance of the offspring having the dominant phenotype?

Ex.16: In a cross between a homozygous dominant parent and a heterozygous parent,


what is the chance of the offspring having a heterozygous genotype?

Ex.17: In a cross between a homozygous dominant parent and a heterozygous parent,


what is the chance of the offspring having the dominant phenotype?

Ex.18: Draw a Punnett square of a cross between a homozygous dominant individual
and a heterozygous individual.

Ex.19: Examine the following Punnett Squares and justify the correct ones.

Ex.20: In corn plants, normal height, N, is dominant to short height, n. Complete these
four Punnett squares showing different crosses. Then, circle all of the homozygous
dominant offspring. Put an X through all the heterozygous offspring. Leave all the
homozygous recessive offspring unshaded.

Ex.21: Hornless (H) in cattle is dominant over horned (h). A homozygous hornless
bull is mated with a homozygous horned cow. What will be the genotype and
phenotype of the offspring? Show your work.

Ex.22: In tomatoes, red fruit (R) is dominant over yellow fruit (r). A plant that is
homozygous for red fruit is crossed with a plant that has yellow fruit. What will be the
genotype and phenotype of the offspring? Show your work.

Ex.23: In humans, being a tongue roller (R) is dominant over non-roller (r). A man
who is a non-roller marries a woman who is heterozygous for tongue rolling.
1) What is the father’s phenotype and genotype? Show your work.
2) What is the mother’s phenotype and genotype? Show your work.
3) What is the probability of this couple having a child who is a tongue roller?
Show your work.

Ex.24: A man that has an AB blood type has a child with a woman with type B blood.
Can they have a type O child? Use a Punnett square or Punnett squares to show your
work.

Ex.25: Suppose genes C and D are linked on one chromosome and genes c and d are
linked on another chromosome. Assuming that cross- ing over does not take place,
sketch the daughter cells resulting from meiosis, showing the chromosomes and
position of the genes.
