Punnett Square Review

In guinea pigs, smooth coat (S) is dominant over rough coat (s).  If an SS guinea pig is crossed with an ss guinea pig, what ratio of guinea pigs in the offspring would you predict?

• 75% will have smooth coats, and 25% will have rough coats
• All offspring will be Ss and have smooth coats
• Half the offspring will be SS, and the other half will be ss
• All offspring will be Ss and have rough coats

In some cattle the genes for brown hair (BB) and white hair (WW) are co-dominant. Cattle with both alleles have both brown and white hairs. This combination gives the cattle a reddish color called "roan". What are the phenotypes of the offspring of a roan cow (BW) and a white (WW) bull?

• 50% White, 50% Brown

• 25% Brown, 50% Roan, 25% White

• 50% White, 50% Roan

• 0% Brown, 75% Roan
