Practice with punnett squares

In dolphins, the allele for blue eyes is dominant over the allele for brown eyes. Cross two homozygous dominant parents. Show the parental cross. Show the Punnett square. List all of the possible genotypes and their probabilities (as a fraction and as a percent). List all of the possible phenotypes and their probabilities (as a fraction and as a percent).

A certain fatal disease gene is recessive to the healthy gene A certain fatal disease gene is recessive to the healthy gene. It is a common disease in certain ethnic groups. A woman knows that she is a carrier for the disease. This means she is heterozygous. She marries a man that is also a carrier for the disease. Show the parental cross. Show the Punnett square. List all of the possible genotypes and their probabilities (as a fraction and as a percent). List all of the possible phenotypes and their probabilities (as a fraction and as a percent).

In pea plants, purple flowers are dominant to white flowers In pea plants, purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. Cross two homozygous dominant parents. Show the parental cross. Show the Punnett square. List all of the possible genotypes and their probabilities (as a fraction and as a percent). List all of the possible phenotypes and their probabilities (as a fraction and as a percent).

In a place called Troublesome Creek, Kentucky, there is a population of people who are blue. It is a rare but recessive condition. It is more frequent in this population because for many years this was an isolated area where people intermarried. Cousins married cousins so the chances of having two recessive genes was greater. In the early 1800’s, Martin Fugate married Mary. They were carriers- both were heterozygous for the blue trait. In a cross between these two heterozygous parents, what is the probability that their offspring will be normal (N, dominant) or blue (n, recessive) Show the parental cross. Show the Punnett square. List all of the possible genotypes and their probabilities (as a fraction and as a percent). List all of the possible phenotypes and their probabilities (as a fraction and as a percent).
