If curly hair is dominant to straight hair, what letters will we use to show these genes?2. If a heterozygous curly haired male marries a straight haired female, how would we represent the parentsof the cross using the letters above?3. What aileles would be in the gametes for the male parent?4. What alleles would be in the gametes for the female parent?5. Now, complete a Punnett square to be able to answer the questions.

What are the chances of the offspring being yellow?6. What are the chances of the offspring being heterozygous yellow?7. What is the percentage of offspring with the dominant allele?8. What ratio of offspring are homozygous recessive?Page4+ Open with -NameThe Punnett Square PracticeDatePerThe Punnett square is a chart, used by geneticists, to help determine the chances of an offspring receiving aparticular characteristic.The Punnett square WILL NOT tell you how many offspring will develop, or the order in which they will beborn,Example: The dominant allele for hair color is brown and the recessive allele is blond, So, we will use: B=brown hair and b = blonde hair. (NOTE: We used the 1* letter of the dominant trait as our letter B)Problem: What are the probabilities of crossing two heterozygous brown-haired parents?Solution:1. Determine the parents genotypes → They are both heterozygous so they are Bb2. Determine the possible alleles in the gametes → The two alleles separate in meiosis sothat each gamete gets only ONE allele. So, the mother, who is Bb can have eggs that areeither B or b. And the father will also be either B or b.3. Now, complete a Punnett square to be able to answer the questions.

Is there a heterozygous blonde haired offspring?Why?7. Which hair color is more likely for the offspring?.8. True or falseIf this couple were to have 4 children, 3 of them would have brown hairand 1 would be blonde.9. True or false-:It is possible that if this couple were to have 4 children that all of themcould have blond hairPage1 I 4
