Genetics Using Genetics Using Punnett Squares Punnett Squares

Early GeneticsEarly Genetics• The study of geneticsThe study of genetics began with began with

observations made by observations made by Gregor Mendel.Gregor Mendel.

• After noticing that the After noticing that the flowers his pea plants flowers his pea plants were either violet or were either violet or white, Mendel began to white, Mendel began to study the segregation study the segregation of heritable traits. of heritable traits.

Between 1856 and 1863 he cultivated and tested at least 28,000 pea plants.

Remember that Mendel worked almost 150 years ago when nobody knew about genes or even the structures (chromosomes) that carry genes.

Here are some traits observed by Mendel:

Mendel’s ConclusionsMendel’s Conclusions1.1. Law of segregation – Law of segregation –

– every individual has 2 forms (alleles) of a every individual has 2 forms (alleles) of a gene and when sex cells (gametes) are gene and when sex cells (gametes) are produced each gamete produced produced each gamete produced receives one of these allelesreceives one of these alleles

2.2. Law of Independent AssortmentLaw of Independent Assortment– Genes of individual traits are inherited Genes of individual traits are inherited

independently of each otherindependently of each other– Ex: gene for eye color is independent of Ex: gene for eye color is independent of

The phenotype for this flower is violet while its genotype (if homozygous) is PP.

The phenotype for this flower is white while its genotype is pp (to be white the flower must have two of the recessive copies of the allele).

2) For each of the following write whether it is

homozygous dominant, heterozygous or

homozygous recessive.

Use the following information for questions 3-5:

In dogs, the gene for fur color has two alleles. The dominant allele (F) codes for grey fur and the recessive allele (f) codes for black fur.

3) The female dog is heterozygous. The male dog is homozygous recessive. Figure out the phenotypes and genotypes of their possible puppies by using a Punnett Square.

4. The female dog has black fur. The male dog has black fur. Figure out the phenotypes and genotypes of their possible puppies by using a Punnett Square.

5) The female dog is heterozygous. The male dog is heterozygous. Figure out the phenotypes and genotypes of their possible puppies by using a Punnett Square.

Use the following information for questions 6-8:

In fruit flies, red eyes are dominant (E). White eyes are recessive (e).

 6) If the female fly has white eyes and the male fly has homozygous dominant red eyes, what are the possible phenotypes and genotypes of their offspring?

7) If the female fly has EE and the male fly has EE, what are the possible phenotypes and genotypes of their offspring?

8) If both flies are heterozygous, then what are the possible phenotypes and genotypes of their offspring?

Use the following for questions 9-11:

In dogs, there is an hereditary deafness caused by a recessive gene, “d.” A kennel owner has a male dog (Gilbert) that she wants to use for breeding purposes if possible. The dog can hear.

9) What are the two possible genotypes of Gilbert?– DD or Dd

10) If the dog’s genotype is Dd, the owner does not wish to use him for breeding so that the deafness gene will not be passed on. This can be tested by breeding the dog to a deaf female (dd). Draw two Punnett squares to illustrate these two possible crosses.

11) In each case, what percentage/how many of the offspring would be expected to be hearing? deaf? How could you tell the genotype of this male dog? Also, using Punnett square(s), show how two hearing dogs could produce deaf offspring.

Widow’s peak - dominantWidow’s peak - dominant No widow’s peak - recessiveNo widow’s peak - recessive

12) If Wentworth Miller is Aa, and he and Rihanna had children, what are the possible phenotypes and genotypes of their children?

13) Look at the phenotypes of Beyonce and Jay Z. If these two had children,

could they have children with a widow’s peak?

Why or why not?
