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.
(d) What are the predicted phenotypes for the offspring? |
(b) Draw the Punnett square for the cross below.
