phenotypes for the offspring? Show your work using a Punnett Square. Include genotypic and phenotypic ratios in your
answer.
USING PUNNETT SQUARE TO PREDICT TRAITS IN OFFSPRING - SELECTIVE BREEDING IN FRUIT FLIES
--> GO TO: http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/virtual_labs/BL_05/BL_05.html
--> SELECT and READ Information to answer the following:
1. Define heredity.
2. Traits are controlled by _____________.
3. The ____________________ forms a gene may have for a trait are called _____________. There are _____ alleles for every
trait.
4. Who is Reginald Punnett?
5. If one trait is being considered in a genetic cross, it is called a ________________________ _________. A Punnett Square for
a monohybrid cross is _____ boxes tall by _____ boxes wide because each ___________________ can pass on _____ kinds of
____________________.
6. If two traits are being considered in a genetic cross, it is called a _____________________ _________. A Punnett Square for
a dihybrid cross is ______ boxes tall by ______ boxes wide because each ______________________ can pass on _____ possible
________________________of ___________________. For example, a heterozygous PpTt can pass on ______, ______, _______,
and _______.
7. Alleles represent a _______________________, or genetic _____________ of an organism for a trait.
8. A _____________________ is a ____________________ trait that shows as a result of an organism's particular genotype.
Organisms may look alike but have _______________________ genotypes. It is ____________________ to determine
homozygous dominant and heterozygous genotypes by sight.
9. Common fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster, are often used to study genetics because of their ________ life cycle (about 2
weeks), their _________ size (several hundred can be housed in a small jar), and their high rate of ___________________ (a
single pair may produce more than a hundred offspring).
10.When using Punnett squares to analyze the results of genetic crosses involving body color in Drosophila, _____
represents the dominant allele for gray body color and _______ represents the recessive allele for black body color.
11.When using Punnett squares to analyze the results of genetic crosses involving wing length in Drosophila, ________
represents long wing length and ______ represents vestigial wing length. (Vestigial wings are wings with
__________________ function that may have been useful to an earlier evolutionary stage of Drosophila.)

2. What would happen if SpongeBob crossed a Poofkin with red flowers with a Poofkin with blue flowers? DRAW and
COMPLETE a Punnett square to determine the chances of each flower color.
(a) Give the genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring.
(b) How many of the plants would have red flowers? _____%
(c) How many of the plants would have purple flowers? _____ %
(d) How many of the plants would have blue flowers? _____ %
3. What would happen if SpongeBob crossed two Poofkins with purple flowers? Complete a Punnett square to
show the probability for each flower color.
(a) Give the genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring.
(b) How many of the plants would have red flowers? _____%
(c) How many of the plants would have purple flowers? _____ %
(d) How many of the plants would have blue flowers? _____ %
4. SpongeBob has a grandmother Grandma squarepants, who is all brown (B) in color. His grandfather Grandpa
squarepants is all green (b). Recently, SpongeBob discovered he had an uncle (Uncle spottedpants) who was
brown with green spots and who ran away from home at a young age.
1. Write the correct genotype for squarepants body color:
Brown - __________ brown with green spots - __________
green - _________
CIRCLE the type of inheritance shown in the squarepants. complete incomplete codominance or sex-linked
5. What would happen if Uncle spottedpants mated with a Mrs. Brownpants? Complete a Punnett square to
determine the chances of each body color.
(a) Give the genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring.
(b) How many of the children would have brown body color? _____%
(c) How many of the children would be brown with green spots? ____%
(d) How many of the children would be green? _____ %
a. 0 %
b. 25 %
c. 50%
d. 75%
7. Dr. Hibbert is treating a young Springfield couple who are having a child. The parents are worried that since the mom is
a carrier for the disorder of color blindness (XXc ), which is linked only to the female sex chromosome Xc , that the child
will have color blindness as well. The father does not have color blindness (XY) which is the dominant gene. What are the
odds that the child will NOT have color blindness?
X = no color blindness (dominant)
Xc = color blindness (recessive)
CIRCLE the type of inheritance shown in the Poofkins. complete incomplete codominance or sex-linked
What are the odds that their child will not be color blind?
a. 0%
b. 25 %
c. 50%
d. 75%
