Jamaela Pagcaliwagan - Performance Task Module 13-14

This document provides examples of monohybrid crosses involving seals with either long or short whiskers determined by dominant and recessive alleles. 1) Crossing a homozygous dominant long-whiskered seal with a heterozygous long-whiskered seal would result in all offspring having long whiskers, with a 100% phenotypic ratio of long:0% short. 2) Crossing a pure long-whiskered seal with a pure short-whiskered seal would produce all heterozygous offspring with long whiskers, at a 100% long and 0% short phenotypic ratio. 3) Crossing two heterozygous long-whiskered seals would yield a 1:

1. Let's say that in seals, the gene for the length of the
whiskers has two alleles. The dominant allele (W) codes for
long whiskers & the recessive allele (w) codes for short
whiskers.

a) What would be the result if two long-whiskered seals (one that is homozygous dominant and
one that is heterozygous) will be crossed? Complete the Punnet Square and the table below.
Answer the questions that follow.

What percentage of offspring would be expected to have short whiskers from the cross of two
long- whiskered seals?0%

What percentage of offspring would be expected to have long whiskers from the cross of two long-
whiskered seals?100%

What is the genotypic ratio? 2:2

What is the phenotypic ration: 4:0
