Non-Mendelian Genetics
Open-Note Quiz
Part 1: Incomplete Dominance
In a certain type of chicken black feathers (b) and white feathers (w) exhibit incomplete dominance. The
heterozygous (bw) chickens have blue-grey feathers.
1. Complete a Punnett square for a homozygous black chicken that mates with a heterozygous chicken.
2. What percentage of the offspring will have a heterozygous genotype?
Part 2: Codominance
In a certain fish, blue scales (B) and red scales (R) are codominant. When a fish has the hybrid genotype (BR),
it has a patchwork of blue and red scales.
3. What happens if you breed a patchwork fish with a fish that only has blue scales? Complete a Punnett
square.
4. What is the probability of having fish with red scales? ________%
5. What is the probability of having fish with patchwork scales? _________%
Part 3: Multiple Alleles
In blood typing, the gene for type A and the gene for type B are dominant. The gene for type O is recessive.
6. A mother is type O, and a father is type B heterozygous. Complete the Punnett square.
7. Determine the percentage of each blood type:
_____________ % Type O
_____________ % Type A
_____________ % Type B
_____________ % Type AB
Part 4: Sex-Linked Trait
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is an x-linked recessive trait. Affected individuals have rapid degeneration of
their muscles, and usually only live into their 20s or 30s.
8. A woman who is a carrier of the disorder (but is not affected) has a child with a man who does not have
the disorder. Create a Punnett square to show the genotype probabilities of their child.
9. What is the probability (in percent) of these two people having a boy who does not have the disorder?
