The document covers Mendelian genetics, focusing on monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, including examples of flower color inheritance and gamete production. It explains genotypes, phenotypes, and expected offspring ratios using Punnett squares for various plant crosses. Key concepts include dominant and recessive alleles, incomplete dominance, and the calculation of gametes from given genotypes.

Mendelian Genetics

I. MONOHYBRID CROSSES and INCOMPLETE DOMINACE

1. Most individuals of a certain wild flower have white petals, but a few are blue. Crosses have
shown that the blue color is due to a RECESSIVE allele. Use “ W ” for white and “ w ’’ for blue.

A. What is the GENOTYPE of a blue-flowered plant and what GAMETES would I produce as a
result of MEIOSIS?

The genotype of a blue-flowered plant with the recessive trait is denoted by “ ww ’’. Because both
alleles are recessive, it can only produce gametes with the single “ w ’’ allele. Therefore all the
gametes produced by a blue-flowering plant will always be “ w ’’.

B. What is/are the genotypes of each of a blue-flowered plant’s parents?

The genotype of a blue-flowered offspring is “ ww ’’, it means there is a possibility that either be
the parents of the blue-flowered are heterozygous “ Ww ”carrying one dominant and recessive
allele or homozygous carrying recessive allele “ ww ’’. As a result, each parent might contribute
one recessive allele.

C. If a blue-flowered plant is crossed has two white- flowered parent, and the parents produced
many offspring, what fraction of them would you expect to be blue?
Given: Punnet Square:

Blue flower – ww

White flower- Ww and Ww

GENOTYPES:

WW-1, Ww- 2 , ww- 1

FRACTION OF ww

BLUE: 1/4 = 25%

D. If a blue-flowered plant is crossed with its white-flowered parent, what fraction of their
offspring would have the genotype “ww’’ ?

GIVEN: Punnet Square:

Blue flower – ww

White flower- Ww

GENOTYPE:

Ww-2 , ww-2

FRACTION OF ww

BLUE: 2/4 = 50%

E. If two blue-flowered plant cross, what fraction of their offspring will be blue? White?

GIVEN: PUNNET SQUARE:

Two Blue-Flowered plant- ww , ww

GENOTYPE: ww- 4

BLUE: 4/4 = 100%

WHITE: 0/4 = 0%
2. Four o'clocks exhibit incomplete dominance. Thus, if a plant with red flowers is crossed with a

plant with white flowers, the offspring will all produce pink flowers. What offspring would you

expect if you crossed a red-flowered plant with a pink-flowered plant?

GIVEN: PUNNETT SQUARE:

Red flowers – RR

White flowers- r

Pink Flower- Rr

Offspring form from the Crosses: Therefore the offspring will have 50%

Red flower (RR) = 2/4 making it 50% for both red and pink and 0 %

Pink flower (Rr) = 2/4 making it 50% from white flower.

II. DIHYRID CROSSES

3. How many different kinds of gametes can an organism of genotypes RrSS produce?

GIVEN: GAMETES:

Rr and SS Rr SS

FOIL METHOD;

Rr x SS – RS, rS RS rS

There are 2 gametes

4. In Jimsonweed, purple flower color (P) is dominant over white (p) and spiny pods (S) over

smooth pods (s). These pairs of alleles are not linked. A Jimsonweed of genotype PPss is crossed

with one of ppss. What is the genotype of the F1 generation? The phenotype?
GIVEN:
PPss x ppss PUNNETT SQUARE:

GAMETES: Ps Ps ps ps “Ps” & “ps”

GENOTYPE: Poss PHENOTYPE: Purple (color), Smooth (texture)

5.In peas, the gene for tall plants (T) is dominant over the gene for dwarf plants (t) and round

seed (R) is dominant over wrinkled seed (r). If one crosses a homozygous tall, wrinkled-seeded
plant with a homozygous dwarf, round-seeded plant, what is the phenotype of the F1? The
genotype of F1? The phenotypic ratio of F2?

GIVEN: Tr and tR

GENOTYPE F1: Tt Rr

Phenotype F1:

Height: It will be tall (T) as dominant allele is over recessive dwarf (t).

Shape: It will be Round (R) as dominant allele is over recessive wrinkled (r).

P1: Tr x tR TTrr x ttRR “Tr tR x Tr tR”

GAMETES: Tr, Tr, Tr, Tr x tR, tR, tR, Tr

Tr tR (Punnet) “Combine”

PHENOTYPE: Height: Tall

= GENOTYPE Shape: Round


P2: TtRr x TtRr

GAMETES: TR Tr tR tr x TR Tr tR tr

F2:

PHENOTYPIC RATIO: 9: 3: 3: 1

GENOTYPE LIST:

6. If the cross BbDD X bbDd is made, which of the following would not be represented in the

offspring? a. BbDD; b. BbDd; c. bbDD; d. bbDd; e. BBDd

GIVEN:

BbDD x bbDd

FOIL METHOD: F1:

BD, BD, bD, bD,

bD,bd,bD,bd

PRESENT GENOTYPE:

BbDD, BbDd, bbDD, bbDd

NOT PRESENTED: Letter E
