Punnett squares

The tool which uses the combination of alleles to predict the probability of traits showing up in offspring.

Green eyes are dominant and yellow eyes are recessive. The genotype of two insects are Gg and Gg. Complete a Punnett square!

G Gg Gg GG g G g ?? ?? = gg

What % of the young would have green eyes? Yellow eyes? 75% 25%

If B=black and b=brown and two wolves are heterozygous Bb and homozygous bb what would their young be? Complete a Punnett square!

B Bb bb Bb b b b bb

What % of young would be black and what % would be brown? Black = 50 % Brown = 50 %

B=Brown eyes which are dominant, b=blue eyes which are recessive What are the alleles of the parents for the following chart?

B Bb Bb BB b B b bb

The parents would be Bb and Bb and both would have brown eyes!

Curly hair is dominant, and a couple have curly hair. How many of their babies will have curly hair?

A. All of the babies B. Probably most of the babies C. None of the babies Answer - B

What percent of your genes come from each parent? 50%

What % of genes come from each grandparent? 25%

If green snake skin is dominant and yellow is recessive, what are the alleles of the parent snakes for the following:

G Gg Gg Gg g g G Gg

Homozygous (GG) green Homozygous (gg) yellow
