    More Punnett Square Practice

    A punnett square helps scientists predict the possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring when they
    know the genotypes of the parents. The phenotype is the physical appearance of an organism and the
    genotype is the inherited combination of alleles. This skill sheet will give you additional practice in using
    punnett squares to solve genetics problems.
    EXAMPLE

    In rabbits, black fur is dominant to white fur. If you cross a BB male with a Bb female, what are the possible
    genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring? What is the percent chance for each type?

    Solution:

    B B
    BB BB B
    Bb Bb b

    Genotype Phenotype Chance


    BB Black fur 50%
    Bb Black fur 50%

    1. In cabbage butterflies, White wings are dominant to yellow wings. If a Ww butterfly is crossed with a ww
    butterfly, what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring and the percent chance for each?

    2. In dogs, there is a hereditary type of deafness caused by a recessive gene. Two dogs who carry the gene
    for deafness but have normal hearing are mated. What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their
    offspring and the percent chance for each?

    3. In guinea pigs, short hair is dominant over long hair. If a short haired SS guinea pig is crossed with a
    long haired ss guinea pig, what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring and the
    percent chance of each?

    4. Can you curl your tongue up on the sides? Tongue-curling in humans is a dominant genetic trait. Suppose
    a man who is Tt for tongue-curling marries a woman who is also Tt for this trait. What are the possible
    genotypes and phenotypes of their children and the percent chance for each?

    5. In guinea pigs, rough coats (with lots of swirly cowlicks) are dominant over smooth coats. If an RR
    guinea pig is crossed with a Rr guinea pig, what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the
    offspring? What are the chances of each?
