1.

Assume co-dominance.


Complete the Punnet square for a cross between a homozygous brown horse (BB), and a homologous white horse (WW). Give the ratio for the phenotype and the genotype.

a)

Genotype = 2 BB : 2 WW

Phenotype = 2 brown : 2 white

b)

Genotype = 2 BB : 2 BW

Phenotype = 2 brown : 2 roan

c)

Genotype = 1 BB : 2 BW : 1 WW

Phenotype = 1 brown : 2 roan : 1 white

d)

Genotype = 4 BW

Phenotype = 4 roan

2.

In some aliens, one center horn (A) is co-dominant with two horns (B). If an alien inherits both alleles (AB), then the alien has three horns. A recessive allele (O) results in an alien which has no horns.


Write the genotype and phenotype of each alien.

a)

Genotype = O

Phenotype = no horn

b)

Genotype = A

Phenotype = one center horn

c)

Genotype = B

Phenotype = two horns

d)

Genotype = AB

Phenotype = three horns

3.

In some aliens, one center horn (A) is co-dominant with two horns (B). If an alien inherits both alleles (AB), then the alien has three horns. A recessive allele (O) results in an alien which has no horns.


Write the genotype and phenotype of each alien.

a)

Genotype = O

Phenotype = no horn

b)

Genotype = A

Phenotype = one center horn

c)

Genotype = B

Phenotype = two horns

d)

Genotype = AB

Phenotype = three horns

4.

In some aliens, one center horn (A) is co-dominant with two horns (B). If an alien inherits both alleles (AB), then the alien has three horns. A recessive allele (O) results in an alien which has no horns.


Write the genotype and phenotype of each alien.

a)

Genotype = O

Phenotype = no horn

b)

Genotype = A

Phenotype = one center horn

c)

Genotype = B

Phenotype = two horns

d)

Genotype = AB

Phenotype = three horns

5.

In some aliens, one center horn (A) is co-dominant with two horns (B). If an alien inherits both alleles (AB), then the alien has three horns. A recessive allele (O) results in an alien which has no horns.


Write the genotype and phenotype of each alien.

a)

Genotype = O

Phenotype = no horn

b)

Genotype = A

Phenotype = one center horn

c)

Genotype = B

Phenotype = two horns

d)

Genotype = AB

Phenotype = three horns
