In pigs, the allele for a wavy, rough coat (R) is dominant to the allele for a soft, fine coat (r). A rough coat boar and a soft coat sow mate. They produce several litters, 50% are rough coat and 50% are smooth coat. What must be the genotypes of the parents to create this phenotypic ratio?

• Homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive

• Heterozygous and homozygous recessive

• C. Homozygous dominant and heterozygous

• Both heterozygous

Given a dihybrid cross for a plant, where P (purple) is dominant to p (white) and S (spherical seeds) is dominant to s (dented seeds), what is the predicted phenotypic ratios if two plants are mated that are both heterozygous for both

traits?

• 1 purple, spherical: 1 purple, dented: 1 white, spherical: 1 white, dented

• 8 purple, spherical: 8 purple, dented: 0 white, spherical: 0 white, dented

• 9 purple, spherical: 3 purple, dented: 1 white, spherical: 3 white, dented

• 9 purple, spherical: 3 purple, dented: 3 white, spherical: 1 white, dented

The American Curl is a breed of cat that has curly ears. The allele for the curly ears is dominant (E). Suppose a cat

with the heterozygous genotype is bred to a female cat with the homozygous recessive genotype. In your answer:

A. Draw a Punnett square that shows a cross between the two cats. (2 pts)

B. Write the phenotypic ratio of the offspring. (1 pt)

C. If the cross produces six kittens, how many of them will have curly ears? (1 pt)

In humans, a widow’s peak is dominant to a straight hairline, and long eyelashes are dominant to short. A homozygous widow peak man, who is heterozygous for eyelashes, mates with a straight hairline, short eyelash woman.

Using H for hair and L for eyelashes,

list the genotypes of the parents and then complete a dihybrid cross for their potential offspring. List the phenotypic ratio of the offspring once you have completed the cross. (6 pts)
