Genetics Problems
1) Guinea pigs have either white or black coats. A series of crosses were made, and the following ratios were observed:
Cross 1: Black x Black = All Black;
Cross 2: White x Black = 1 White:1 Black;
Cross 3: Black x Black = 3 Black:1 White;
Cross 4: White x White = All White.
- Which phenotype is dominant?
- Create your own gene symbol and give the genotypes of the parents (as close as you can determine) for each cross.
2) In MendAliens, normal head top is dominant to Bart head top, in which the top of the head is jagged. Suppose a MendAlien homozygous for normal head shape is crossed with one homozygous for Bart head shape.
- What are the genotypes of the two parents?
For each of the following, give the genotype(s) and phenotypes(s) and their proportions:
- the F1 generation
- the F2 generation
- the offspring of a cross of an F1 individual to a true-breeding normal-head-topped individual
Hint: You have already assigned a genotype to the F1 individual in part b. Now think carefully about the phenotype of the other individual, and assign the appropriate genotype. Then you are ready to make the cross.
- the offspring of a cross of an F1 individual to a Bart-head-topped individual
Hint: You have already assigned a genotype to the F1 individual in part b. Now think carefully about the phenotype of the other individual, and assign the appropriate genotype. Then you are ready to make the cross.
3) Refer to Problem 2, and assume again that normal head top is dominant to Bart head top. The following cross was done, producing the offspring shown below.
What are the genotypes of the parents? Explain your answer.
4) In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue (b)*. A brown-eyed man marries a blue-eyed woman and they have three children, two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. Draw the Punnett square that illustrates this marriage. What is the man’s genotype? What are the genotypes of the children?
(* Actually, the situation is complicated by the fact that there is more than one gene involved in eye color, but for this example, we’ll consider only this one gene.)
- If blue is recessive, what must the woman’s genotype be?
- If that’s her genotype, what kind(s) of gametes (eggs) can she produce?
________or______
- If the man has brown eyes, but has a blue-eyed child what must his genotype be? (if you don’t understand why, review the testcross problem)
- If that’s his genotype, what kind(s) of gametes (sperm) can he produce?
________or______
- If they have children, what are the possible genotypes? (Make a Punnet square)
- Put the female gametes in the correct locations. Put the male gametes in the correct locations. Put the genotypes of the offspring in the correct locations. (½ of their children would be expected to be heterozygous brown and ½ homozygous blue.)
5) In dogs, there is a hereditary type of deafness caused by a recessive gene, “d.” A kennel owner has a male dog that she wants to use for breeding purposes if possible. The dog can hear, so the owner knows his genotype is either DD or Dd. If the dog’s genotype is Dd, the owner does not wish to use him for breeding so that the deafness gene will not be passed on. This can be tested by breeding the dog to a deaf female (dd). Draw the Punnett squares to illustrate these two possible crosses. In each case, what percentage/how many of the offspring would be expected to be hearing? How many would be deaf? How could you tell the genotype of this male dog? Also, using Punnett square(s), show how two hearing dogs could produce deaf offspring.
- A deaf female is genotype dd. What kind(s) of gametes (eggs) can she produce?
- If the hearing male is DD, what kind(s) of gametes (sperm) can he produce?
- If he is Dd, what kind(s) of gametes can he produce?
- Make the appropriate Punnet square for if he is DD: (All (100%) of the offspring can hear)
- Make the appropriate Punnet square for if he is Dd: (½ of offspring can hear; ½ of offspring are deaf) (If any of the puppies are deaf, the male is Dd; but, assuming a litter of at least about 4 to 5 puppies or more, if they can all hear, he is most likely DD.)
- If two hearing dogs were both Dd, what kind(s) of gametes (eggs/sperm) could each produce?
- Make a Punnett square that represents if they are bred with each other: (We would expect ¾ of the puppies to be normal and ¼ deaf.)
