    Nardia Harley
    This document provides instructions and questions for students to practice monohybrid crosses involving Mendelian inheritance of traits. It introduces fur color in black and gray as an example trait, with black being dominant. Students are asked to write out genotypes and phenotypes and perform sample crosses calculating genotype and phenotype probabilities. It also provides word problems applying monohybrid crosses to traits like flower color, seed color, wing shape in fruit flies, and eye color in fruit flies.

    Monohybrid Crosses Practice

    For all of the following questions, use these facts: the trait is fur color (f). Black fur is dominant over
    gray fur.

    1. Write the letter of the dominant allele. _________


    2. Write the letter of the recessive allele. _________
    3. Write out the homozygous dominant genotype (2 alleles). _________
    4. Write out the heterozygous genotype (2 alleles). _________
    5. Write out the homozygous recessive genotype. _________
    6. Write the genotype for gray fur. _________
    7. Write the genotype for Black fur. _________ or _________
    8. Write the phenotype for #3. _________________________
    9. Write the phenotype for #4. _________________________
    10. Write the phenotype for #5. _________________________

    Still using fur color, do the following monohybrid cross problems. (Remember: Black fur is dominant
    over gray)

    1. If the mother is homozygous recessive and the father is


    homozygous dominant.

    a) Write the genotype probabilities.

    b) Write the phenotype probabilities.

    2. If the mother is heterozygous, and the father is


    heterozygous.

    a) Write the genotype probabilities.

    b) Write the phenotype probabilities.

    3. If the mother is heterozygous, and the father is homozygous


    dominant.
    a)Write the genotype probabilities.

    b) Write the phenotype probabilities.

    4. If the mother is homozygous recessive, and the father is


    heterozygous.

    a) Write the genotype probabilities.

    b) Write the phenotype probabilities.

    Word Problems using Monohybrid Crosses


    1. Purple flowers (P) are dominant to white flowers (p). Perform the following crosses. For each cross, give
    the phenotype and genotype of all offspring.
    A. PP x pp
    B. Pp x Pp
    C. PP x Pp

    2. In pea plants, yellow seed color is dominant to green seed color. If a heterozygous pea plant is crossed
    with a plant that is homozygous recessive for seed color, what is the probability that the offspring will have
    green seeds?

    3. If all of the offspring of a particular cross have the genotype Gg, what must the genotype of the parents
    be?
    4. In fruit flies normal wings (W) is dominant over vestigial wings (w). The results of a cross, of
    two fruit flies, give the following results:
    Normal wing 793
    Vestigial wing 811

    What are the genotypes of the parents of the F1 generation offspring? Use a Punnett square
    to prove your answer.

    5. Red eyes (R) in fruit flies are dominant over white eyes (r). Using Punnett squares, find the
    possible eye colors of the F1 generation for each of the following crosses.
    A. Rr x rr
    B. rr x RR
    C. Rr x Rr

    6. The result of a cross is 3 purple flowers and 1 white flower. Using a cross, determine whether a plant with
    purple flowers is heterozygous (Pp) or homozygous dominant (PP).
