Diagram analysis and interpretation:
25/3/23
1.
1. Identify the blood groups of the parents and the
offspring.
2. Identify and write the genotypes of the parents and
the offspring.
3. Infer from the diagram which alleles are inherited by
the offspring from the parents and which parent.
4. Which are the alleles that are dominant and recessive
in the given image? What can you infer from the
diagram.
5. Does this type of cross follow Mendelian inheritance
pattern? Justify your answer.
2.
1. Identify the phenotypes of the given parents.
2. Write the genotypes of the parents.
3. Explain the appearance of offspring in the given cross.
4. Does it apply to Mendelian inheritance pattern?
Justify your answer.
3. Solve the given problems based on the understanding
gained from the previous diagrams.
1. In snapdragons, flower color is controlled by incomplete
dominance. The two alleles are red (R) and white (r). The
heterozygous genotype is expressed as pink.
a. What is the phenotype of a plant with the genotype RR?
___________ b. What is the phenotype of a plant with the
genotype Rr? ___________ c. What is the phenotype of a plant
with the genotype rr? ___________
5. Pretend that Drake is homozygous for the type B allele, and Nicki
Minaj is type “O.” What are all the possible blood types of their
baby? (Show your work)
6. Draw a Punnett square showing all the possible blood types for
the offspring produced by a type “O” mother and a Type “AB”
father.
7. Mrs. Clink is type “A” and Mr. Clink is type “O.” They have three
children named Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Mark is type “O,”
Matthew is type “A,” and Luke is type “AB.”
2. A pink-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant.
What is the probability of producing a pink-flowered plant?
___________%
Based on this information: SHOW WORK TO PROVE YOUR
ANSWERS!
3. What cross will produce the most pink-flowered plants? Show a
Punnett square to support your answer and explain.
b. Mrs. Clink must have the genotype ______ because ___________
has blood type ______
4. 1. Write the genotype for each person based on the description:
c. Luke cannot be the child of these parents because neither parent
has the allele _____.
a. Homozygous for the “B” allele ______________
a. Mr. Clink must have the genotype ___________
d. Type “A” and had a type “O” parent ______________
8. Two parents think their baby was switched at the hospital. Its
1968, so DNA fingerprinting technology does not exist yet. The
mother has blood type “O,” the father has blood type “AB,” and the
baby has blood type “B.”
e. Type “AB” _______________
a. Mother’s genotype: _______
f. Blood can be donated to anybody ______________
b. Father’s genotype: _______
g. Can only get blood from a type “O” donor
c. Baby’s genotype: ______ or ________
b. Heterozygous for the “A” allele ______________
c. Type O ______________
d. Punnett square showing all possible genotypes for children
produced by this couple e. Was the baby switched?
9. Based on the information in this table, which man could not be
the father of the baby? Justify your answer with a Punnett square.
