Question
Matching Terms: Match the term from the list at right that is best described by the following statements.
An allele that determines an organism's appearance.
A. Phenotype
Organisms in which self-fertilization produces offspring all identical to the
B. Genotype
parent.
C. Allele
Allele pairs of an inherited character separate from each other during the
D. Homozygous
production of gametes (egg and sperm).
E. Heterozygous
An organism's observable traits.
F. Dominant
An organism that has two different alleles for a gene.
G. Recessive
An allele that requires two copies to have a noticeable effect on an
H. Monohybrid
organism's phenotype.
I. Dihybrid
An alternate version of a gene.
J. Law of segregation
A cross between two individuals that are heterozygous for one character.
K. Law of independent
Alleles of a gene segregate independently of other pairs of alleles during
assortment
gamete formation.
L. True-breeding
An organism that has two identical alleles for a gene.
Alleles that create an organism's genetic makeup.
A cross between two individuals that are each heterozygous for two characters.
Monohybrid Crosses and Punnett Squares
Punnett squares are diagrams that can be used to predict the offspring that could result from a combination
of the gametes produced by two parents (or an organism that can self-fertilize). The alleles from the
gametes of one parent (e.g., eggs) are placed on one axis of the Punnett square while the alleles from the
gametes of the other parent (e.g., sperm) are placed on the other axis.
1. Pea plants have two alleles for height: Tis the dominant allele and produces tall plants; tis the recessive
allele and produces short plants. Consider two parental pea plants each have the genotype Tt and
answer the following questions.
a.
What type of gametes can a plant with genotype Tt produce?
b. Assign the maternal gametes to one axis in the Punnett square at right.
c. Assign the paternal gametes to one axis in the Punnett square at right.
2. Pea plants have two alleles for pea color: Y is the dominant allele and produces yellow peas; y is the
recessive allele and produces green peas. Consider two parental pea plants each have the genotype
Yy. Place the parental alleles on the axes of the Punnett square at right and fill in the boxes
corresponding to each offspring that would result from fertilization events between the parental
gametes.
a.
Of the four possible offspring, how many would have the genotype YY?
b. Of the four possible offspring, how many would have the genotype Yy?
C.
Of the four possible offspring, how many would have the genotype yy?
d. What is the probability of an offspring from this cross having yellow peas?
e. What is the probability of an offspring from this cross have green peas?
