Look at the punnett square. It shows a cross between two mice with different fur color, gray (A) and black (a). This Punnett square is evidence for which of the following conclusions? (Strategy: Ask yourself on each question, “Is this statement true or false?” The true answer is the right answer!)

The gray fur trait is dominant over the black fur trait.

Two gray mice can’t produce offspring with black fur.

Eventually, all the mice that descend from this pair will have Grey fur.

Eventually, all the mice that descend from this pair will have black fur.

Two parent dragons with wings can produce a child without wings. Which of the following best explains how this is possible? (Suggestion: Use punnett squares to cross different types of parents and gather evidence to support your answer!)

The parents pass down a recessive allele, giving the child the recessive version of a trait.

Parent dragons must always have wings to have children.

The parents wanted a baby without wings.

Over many generations, some characteristics just randomly show up

Brown eyes (B) are dominant to blue eyes (b) in dragons. Smaug is Homozygous Dominant for brown eyes. He wants to have a child with blue eyes one day. Are biological blue eyed children a possibility for Smaug? If so, what should his partner's genotype be for eye color?

No, he cannot have blue eyed children because he does not have a recessive allele to pass down.

Yes, he can have blue eyed children; his partner's genotype should be homozygous recessive .

Yes, he can have blue eyed children; his partner's genotype should be heterozygous .

Yes, he can have blue eyed children; his partner's genotype should be homozygous dominant .

No, he cannot have blue eyed children because he does not have a dominant allele to pass down.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

15 mins • 1 pt

A Punnett square showing the cross between two dragons is shown.
In dragons, the smooth-shell egg allele (R) is dominant over the rough-shell egg allele (r).

(Remember, an allele is a version of a gene - ex: if eye color is the gene, blue eyes is one possible allele)

Select the punnett square that is filled in accurately.
