If a man with bushy eyebrows with the genotype of Bb married a woman with fine eyebrows with the genotype, bb, what are the ratios/percents of the possible genotypes of the children?
all are bb (100%)
all are Bb (100%)
1BB, 2Bb, 1bb (25%, 50%, 25%)

Use the following Punnett Square, which shows the alleles for black (B) and white (b) fur in Guinea pigs and short (S) and long (s) fur, to answer the next three questions (12-14). The alleles for black fur and short fur are dominant to the alleles for white fur and long fur. We crossed two guinea pigs that were heterozygous for both traits.
What percentage of the offspring have white fur?
50% (8/16)
75% (12/16)
25% (4/16)
100% (16/16)
Use the following Punnett Square, which shows the alleles for black (B) and white (b) fur in Guinea pigs and short (S) and long (s) fur, to answer the next three questions (12-14). The alleles for black fur and short fur are dominant to the alleles for white fur and long fur. We crossed two guinea pigs that were heterozygous for both traits.
What is the genotype of each parent? (hint: use the gametes provided to do the foil method BACKWARDS)
BBSS;Bbss
BBss;bbSS
BbSs;BbSs
bbSS;BBSS
Use the following Punnett Square, which shows the alleles for black (B) and white (b) fur in Guinea pigs and short (S) and long (s) fur, to answer the next three questions (12-14). The alleles for black fur and short fur are dominant to the alleles for white fur and long fur. We crossed two guinea pigs that were heterozygous for both traits.
What are the phenotyopic ratios of this cross? (Hint: count how many times each genotype occurs)
16:0
8:8
4:4:4:4
9:3:3:1

osmosis
At the end of the process, which of the following produces haploid cells from a diploid cell?
meiosis

In some types of dogs, the allele for wire hair (W) is dominant to the allele for smooth hair (w). A dog breeder mated two dogs. The genotypes for the two dogs are: Ww x Ww. What is the probability that a dog with wire hair will be produced from this mating? (Hint: draw a punnett square)
25% (1/4)
50% (1/2)
75% (3/4)
100% (4/4)
In humans tongue rolling (T) is dominant over non-rolling (t) and right-handedness (R) is dominant over left-handedness (r). A person who is heterozygous for both traits could produce which of the following sets of gametes. (Hint: use the foil method)
TT, RR, tt, rr
TR, TR, Tr, Tr
TT, RR, tr, tr
TR, Tr, tR, tr

Hemophilia is a sex-linked disease where the blood won’t clot normally. Normal (X) is dominant over hemophilia (XH). A hemophiliac male is crossed with a carrier female. What will be the phenotypes of the offspring? (Hint: draw your punnett square. For females BOTH Xs have to have the allele, for males only one X has to have the allele)
