ACTIVITY B
Yellow seed (Y) is dominant over a green seed (y). If a
homozygous yellow (YY) seed is cross with homozygous green
(yy), use a punnet square to show the genotype and phenotype of
the resulting offspring and the ratios.

• Find the result of the cross using a punnet square.

• Results:
Genotype Ratio:_______________________
Phenotype Ratio:_______________________

Parents transmit information or factors about traits to their

offspring. Each offspring has two factors for each trait, one
from each parent. If the two factors has the same information, it
is said to be__________ for the trait. If the two factors have
different information the individual is said to be _________.
The genetic make-up of an organism is said to be its
__________ while the outward expression of a trait is the
__________. There are factors or traits that are stronger than
the other always appear and is called __________ while the
weaker factor that hides is __________. A cross involving a
single trait is called ____________ and its results can be
predicted by using a ____________ .

• Finding practical applications ELABORATE

of concepts and skills in daily THINKING MATHEMATICALLY
living
• Making generalization and Direction: Table A contains the data of Mendel’s monohybrid
abstraction about the lesson crosses in garden pea. You are going to calculate the ratios of
each trait by completing Table B. Follow these steps.
Step 1. Divide the larger number by the smaller number in each
trait and write in calculation column in Table B.
Step 2. Round off your answer to the nearest
whole number.
Step 3. To express your answer as a ratio write your answer from
step 2 followed by a colon (:)
and the number 1. Write your answer for the ratio in Table B.

Guide Questions:
1. Which specific phenotype of each trait has a greater and
smaller part in a ratio?

• Additional activities for EXTEND

application or remediation Activity C
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that
attacks the immune system. A person can transmit HIV to another
under certain circumstances. HIV may be transmitted through
certain bodily fluids that can contain high concentrations of the
virus. These fluids include blood, semen, vaginal secretions and
breastmilk.
Suppose a mother and a father acquired this Human
Immunodeficiency Virus, can a child inherit this? Why? or why
not? Justify your answer.
