Punnett Square Assignment             Name __________________________

Use these four Punnett squares to answer the questions 1 - 8 below. There may be more than one answer. All appropriate Punnett squares must be identified to receive credit for a correct answer.

_______ 1. This square shows a cross in which dominance is incomplete.

 
_______ 2. This square predicts only two possible genotypes.

 
_______ 3. This square represents a cross between a homozygous tall plant and a homozygous short plant.

 
_______ 4. This square predicts all offspring will have the same phenotype.

 
_______ 5. This square shows a cross between two individuals with heterozygous genotypes.

 
_______ 6. This square predicts three out of four offspring will look the same.

 
_______ 7. This square predicts that all offspring will look the same.

 
_______ 8. This square shows a cross in which dominance is complete.

 
The following questions will require the drawing of a Punnett square.

 
9. In guinea pigs, black is dominant white. Cross a heterozygous black male with a homozygous white female.

(a) Show the genotypes of the parents on the line below.

(c) How many offspring of each genotype are predicted?

 

 

 

 

(d) How many offspring of each phenotype are predicted?

(b) Draw the Punnett square for the cross below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. In rabbits, dominance is incomplete for ear length. Cross a homozygous long-eared male with a homozygous short-eared female.

(a)   Show the genotypes of the parents on the line below.
