Activity 4.

Monohybrid Cross Using the Punnett Square

Directions: Read the situation and answer the questions that follow. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
Situation: A homozygous red Santan flower (RR) is crossed with a homozygous pink Santan flower (rr).
Tasks:
1. Show the given cross using the Punnett square.
2. Write the genotypes and phenotypes of the resulting offspring.

Activity 5. Dihybrid Cross Using the Punnett Square

Situation: A heterozygous black man with heterozygous curly hair (BbHh) married a woman who is also heterozygous black skinned
and heterozygous curly haired (BbHh) ". Illustrate the cross using a Punnet Square and identify the genotypes and phenotypes of the
offspring.

Activity 6. Know My Traits

Directions: Study the given situation below. Fill in the Punnett square with the possible children’s skin color. Identify the phenotypes and the
phenotypic ratio of the resulting offspring from the given monohybrid cross. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
Situation: Daniel met Cathy at a dance. They are both heterozygous for white (Ww) skin color. Should they get married, what would be the
possible skin color of their children?

Activity 7. Traits in Dogs
Directions: Read the situation carefully and make a Punnett square to show the cross and predict the offspring (phenotypes and genotypes).
Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

Situation: Monohybrid. In dogs, stickup ears (E) is dominant over dropped ears (e). A homozygous stickup-eared dog (EE) is mated with a
homozygous dropped-eared dog (ee).

Task/Question:
1. Make a Punnett square for the cross given above.
2. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the resulting offspring?
Genotypes: ____________________________________________
