IV. Punnet Squares
1. The table below shows the possible allele combinations for each blood type.
BLOOD GROUPS
COMBINATION OF ALLELES
A
AA or AO
B
BB or BO
AB
AB
O
OO
What will the genotypes and phenotypes be for the offspring if a mother has a blood type of AO and the father has a blood
type of BO. Draw a punnet square to show the genotypes and then fill in the chart below.
Genotype (what are the
alleles/ letters)
2.
Phenotype (what is the blood
type?)
Probability (how many out
of four)
Part
A
A:
homozygous red flower (RR) is pollinated with a homozygous white flower (WW). Show what the offspring might look
like using a punnet square and using the understanding that R is not dominant over W and W is not dominant over R then
fill in the chart below.
Genotype (what are the
offspring letters/alleles)
Phenotype (what are the
offspring look like)
Probability
Part B:
Now, using two of the offspring (RW and RW) in the above punnet square, determine what the possible genotypes of
these offspring might be by drawing a punnet square and fill in the chart below.
a.
b.
c.
d.
How many of the offspring will be PURE dominant?
How many of the offspring will be PURE recessive?
How many of the offspring will be hybrid?
What is the term for genes that show neither dominant nor recessive traits?
