Worksheet - Gr. 8 - Science: Topic

This worksheet provides genetics problems for students to solve involving crosses between parents with different genotypes. The students are asked to identify the parents, draw a Punnett square, and provide the ratios for both the genotypes and phenotypes. Key terms are defined at the start, including homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype, genotype, dominant, and recessive. The first problem involves a cross between a heterozygous black rabbit and a homozygous white rabbit.
