Unit 5 Test – Genetics Study Guide Make sure you know the meaning of the following terms: (They can all be found in your notes and on the Power Point which is posted online) The Chromosome Theory of Inheritance Heredity Phenotype Genetics P Generation Probability Purebred F1 Generation Independence of Events Hybrid F2 Generation Co dominance Homozygous Dominant Chromosome Incomplete Dominance Homozygous Recessive Trait Sex-linked traits Heterozygous Gene Genotype Allele Make sure you know how to use a Punnett Square to determine the probability of different phenotypes and genotypes. Classic Punnett Squares: In pea plants green pods are dominant to yellow pods. What is the phenotype of a yellow podded plant? _____________________________ Show a Punnet square that crosses a Homozygous Dominant plant with a Homozygous Recessive plant. What are the genotypes of the offspring (with percentages)? __________________________________ What are the phenotypes of the offspring (with percentages)? _________________________________ Incomplete Dominance Punnett Squares: In Snapdragons, red and white flower color show incomplete dominance. Crossing a homozygous red flower with a homozygous white flower will produce pink flowered offspring. What is the genotype of pink flowered offspring? _____________________________ Show a Punnett Square that crosses a Pink Snapdragon with a white snapdragon. What are the genotypes of the offspring (with percentages)? __________________________________ What are the phenotypes of the offspring (with percentages)? _________________________________ Co-Dominant Punnett Squares: In house cats, tan and black fur color are co-dominant. Crossing a tan and a black cat will produce a tan and black stripped offspring referred to as tabby. How would you write the genotype for a black cat? _________________________ Show a Punnett Square that crosses two tabby cats. What are the genotypes of the offspring (with percentages)? __________________________________ What are the phenotypes of the offspring (with percentages)? ________________________________ Sex Linked Punnett Squares: Colorblindness is a sex-linked trait. It is carried on the X chromosome. People that are homozygous recessive are colorblind. Show a Punnett square that crosses a man with normal vision with a female who is a carrier for colorblindness. What percentage of the offspring are colorblind? ________________ What is the gender of the colorblind offspring? __________________ Pedigrees: Albinism is a recessive disorder. In order to be albino your genotype must be homozygous recessive. Use the pedigree shown below to answer the questions What is the gender of the albino person? _______________________________ Does the albino person have offspring? _______________________________ Are the people in the first generation albino? _______________________________ How many women in the pedigree are carriers for albinism? _______________________________ How many brothers and sisters does the albino person have? _______________________________ BE SURE TO REVIEW YOUR NOTES AND ALL OF YOUR WORKSHEETS.
