Answers to Lab Exercise 13

13.1 A

2.         F x F à FF

            F x f à Ff

            f  x f à ff

 

3.         genotype of his gamete =  F

            her genotype = ff

            her gametes carry f

            childs genotype = Ff

            childs phenotype = dominant (free earlobe)

 

4.         a)         AA = purple

                        Aa = purple

                        aa = white

 

            b) white flower =  aa

            c)  gametes of purple flower = A

            d) genotypes of cross = heterozygous or Aa

            e) Phenotype of cross = dominant or Purple

            f)  Punnett square

                                                a          a

 

                                    A         Aa        Aa

                                    A         Aa        Aa

           

 

            g) Punnett square

                                                a          a

 

                                    A         Aa        Aa

                                    a          aa         aa

 

            Possible genotypes = Aa, aa

            Possible phenotypes = Purple, white, or dominant, recessive

 

            i)  2/4 or 0.5

           

 

13.1 B

           

1. closest ratio = 3:1

2          a)  PP, Pp

            b)  P

            c)   pp

            d) do a test cross.   Pp x  P?     the resulting offspring will tell you the genotype.

 

                        If all offspring show dominant trait, then unknown parent = PP

                        If offspring are 1 dominant: 1 recessive, then unknown parent = pp

 

 

13. 2  Dihybrid Inheritance

 

            1a) PPDD, PPDd, PpDD, PpDd

            1b) PPdd, Ppdd

            1c) ppDD, ppDd

            1d) ppdd

            2a) PpDd

            2b) PD, Pd, pD, pd

            2c)

                        cross = PpDd x PpDd

 

                        Punnett Square

 

                                    PD                   Pd                    pD                   pd

 

                        PD       PPDD              PPDd               PpDD              PpDd

                        Pd        PPDd               PPdd                PpDd               Ppdd

                        pD       PpDD              PpDd               ppDD               ppDd

                        pd        PpDd               Ppdd                ppDd               ppdd

 

            2d) PPDD, PPDd, etc….

                        ratio of genotypes = “don’t worry about”

                        ratio of phenotypes = 9:3:3;1  (Dom-Dom, Dom-Rec, Rec-Dom, Rec-Rec)

 

            2e) ppDD =  1/16 or  0.0625

                  PpDd =  4/16 or 0.25

                  PPDd = 2/16 or 0.125

 

            2f)  1/16 x 1/16 x 1/16 = 1/4096 or 0.00024

                   9/16 x 9/16 x 9/16 =  729/4096 or 0.178

 

            2g) PpDd

                        phenotype = dominant for both traits or Pigmented eyes and Dimpled chin.

 

13.2 B An observable dihybrid cross

            1) Both parents = PpSs

            2) see 2c) above.  Predicted ratio = 9:3:3:1

            3) Purple and smooth seem dominant

                 Yellow and wrinkled seem recessive

            5) You do not need to complete the ChiSquare test.
