Monster Mash Up: Exploring Genetics
Instructions: You are a scientist who is creating a monster—the first of its kind. Each of the 6 stations
must be visited in order to have a completed monster.
 Step 1: To determine the probability of a monster receiving a specific combination of genotypes
or phenotypes, you begin at one station, roll the dice and record the physical trait and the
genetic letter code that you rolled.
 Step 2: Select the pre-cut phenotype that matches the number you rolled and attach it to your
monster. Continue on to the next station, until all 6 stations have been visited and you have the
entire data table filled in and your monster has all 6 traits and is complete.
Data Table for Monster Traits
Genotype:
genetic representation (letters)
Phenotype:
physical characteristic (appearance)
Eyes: red or yellow
Nose: large or small
Mouth: 1, 2, or 3
Hands: claws or no claws
Body Type: spikes or fur
Head: horns or no horns
Monster Analysis: thinking about your results.
1. Why do you think there are 2 letters for each trait?
2. Why are some letters capitalized and some are lower case?
3. What are some similar and different phenotypes between your monster and your lab partner’s
monster?
4. Explain why you think that your monster and your lab partner’s monster are different?

Directions: After your monster falls in love with your lab partner’s monster they have a little monster
baby. Complete the following six Punnett squares to determine what the probability of the offspring
would look like.
Punnett Square 1: EYES (yellow/red)
Offspring with red eyes:
Offspring with yellow eyes:
Punnett Square 2: NOSE (large/small)
_______%
_______%
Offspring with a large nose:
Offspring with a small nose:
_______%
_______%
Punnett Square 3: MOUTH (1, 2, or 3)
Punnett Square 4: HANDS (claws or no claws)
Offspring with one mouth: _______%
Offspring with two mouths: _______%
Offspring with three mouths: _______%
Offspring with claws: _______%
Offspring with no claws: _______%
Punnett Square 5: BODY TYPE (spikes/fur)
Punnett Square 6: HEAD (horns or no horns)
Offspring with spikes: _______%
Offspring with fur: _______%
Offspring with horns: _______%
Offspring with no horns: _______%

1. Brian’s mother is heterozygous (Ww) for the widow’s peak hairline trait. His father is
homozygous recessive (ww) and has a straight hairline? What is the probability that Brian has
the widow’s peak trait? You may create a Punnett square to help you determine the probability.
(SC.7.L.16.2)
_________ %
2. The allele for brown eyes is dominant over the allele for blue eyes. A couple has three browneyed children. The parents are heterozygous for brown-eyes (Bb). They believe the fourth child
they have will be blue-eyed. Which statement below explains what will happen? (SC.7.L.16.2)
A) The couple will have a blue-eyed fourth child.
B) The couple will have a brown-eyed fourth child.
C) The couple has a 75 percent chance of having a blue-eyed child.
D) The couple has a 25 percent chance of having a blue-eyed child.
3. A blue-eyed mother (bb) and a brown-eyed father (BB) have four children. What will the
phenotype of their children be? (SC.7.L.16.2)
A) Bb
B) bb
C) brown-eyed
D) blue-eyed
4. A Punnett square is a model of genetic probability. Why is a Punnett square considered a
model? (SC.7.N.3.2)
A) It shows you exactly what your offspring will look like.
B) It is a representation of what genetically could happen.
C) It is a perfect example of genetics.
D) It is a smaller version of genes and genetic crosses.
