Nardia Harley - Monohybrid Practice Problems
For all of the following questions, use these facts: the trait is fur color (f). Black fur is dominant over
gray fur.
Still using fur color, do the following monohybrid cross problems. (Remember: Black fur is dominant
over gray)
2. In pea plants, yellow seed color is dominant to green seed color. If a heterozygous pea plant is crossed
with a plant that is homozygous recessive for seed color, what is the probability that the offspring will have
green seeds?
3. If all of the offspring of a particular cross have the genotype Gg, what must the genotype of the parents
be?
4. In fruit flies normal wings (W) is dominant over vestigial wings (w). The results of a cross, of
two fruit flies, give the following results:
Normal wing 793
Vestigial wing 811
What are the genotypes of the parents of the F1 generation offspring? Use a Punnett square
to prove your answer.
5. Red eyes (R) in fruit flies are dominant over white eyes (r). Using Punnett squares, find the
possible eye colors of the F1 generation for each of the following crosses.
A. Rr x rr
B. rr x RR
C. Rr x Rr
6. The result of a cross is 3 purple flowers and 1 white flower. Using a cross, determine whether a plant with
purple flowers is heterozygous (Pp) or homozygous dominant (PP).
