- How can you tell whether or not there are blue kernels?
The Y was dominant.
- Set up and complete a Punnett square for a cross of two of the F1 from Step 1 (above).
- Answer these questions:
- What are the genotypes of the F2 generation?
YY, Yy, yy
- What are their
phenotypes ?
YY, Yy(yellow) , yy(blue)
- Are there more or fewer blue kernels than in the F1 generation?
F2 generation has more blue kernels than F1.
- Identify the four possible gametes produced by the following individuals (Y = yellow, y = blue, S = smooth, s = wrinkled):
- YY Ss: YS Ys YS Ys
- Yy Ss: YS Ys yS ys
- Create a Punnett square using these gametes as P1 and determine the genotypes of the F1.

- What are the phenotypes? What is the ratio of those phenotypes?
The phenotypes would be:
(a) Yellow with smooth
(b) Yellow with wrinkled

Part 2: Post-Lab Questions
- How much genotypic variation do you find in the randomly picked parents of your crosses?
- How much in the offspring?
- Pool all of the offspring from your five replicates. How much phenotypic variation do you find?
- Is the ratio of observed phenotypes the same as the ratio of predicted phenotypes? Why or why not?
- What is the difference between genes and alleles?
- How might protein synthesis execute differently if a mutation occurs?
- Organisms heterozygous for a recessive trait are often called carriers of that trait. What does that mean?
- In peas, green pods (G) are dominant over yellow pods. If a homozygous dominant plant is crossed with a homozygous recessive plant, what will be the phenotype of the F1 generation? If two plants from the F1 generation are crossed, what will the phenotype of their offspring be?

Part 3: Post-Lab Questions
- How similar are the observed phenotypes in each replicate?
- How similar are they if you pool your data from each of the five replicates?
- Is it closer or further from your prediction?
- Did the results from the monohybrid or dihybrid cross most closely match your predicted ratio of phenotypes?
- Based on these results, what would you expect if you were looking at a cross of 5, 10, or 20 independently sorted genes?
- Why is it so expensive to produce a hybrid plant seed?
- In certain bacteria, an oval shape (O) is dominant over round (o) and thick cell walls (T) are dominant over thin (t). Show a cross between a heterozygous oval, thick cell walled bacteria with a round, thin cell walled bacteria. What are the phenotypes of the F1 and F2 offspring?
