    The document discusses human inheritance through Punnett squares and questions. It includes: 1) A Punnett square showing inheritance of dimples, a dominant trait, and another for colorblindness, a recessive sex-linked trait. 2) Questions about which parents have the traits and the likelihood of children inheriting them. 3) Definitions of genetic terms like recessive, sex chromosomes, and sex-linked genes. 4) True/false statements to test understanding of inheritance and sex-linked traits. 5) More vocabulary fill-in questions about sex chromosomes, carriers, and sex-linked genes.

    Human Inheritance
    Understanding Main Ideas
    Complete Punnett square A to show inheritance of dimples, a trait controlled by a
    dominant allele. Complete Punnett square B to show inheritance of colorblindness, a
    trait controlled by a recessive sex-linked allele. Then answer the questions that follow on
    a separate sheet of paper. (Note: the fathers alleles are written across the top of each
    Punnett square. The mothers alleles are written on the left side.)

    B: Colorblindness

    A: Dimples
    D

    1. Does either the mother or the father in A have dimples?

    2. What percentage of children are likely to have dimples?


    3. Is either the mother or father in B colorblind?
    4. What percentage of female children is likely to be colorblind?
    5. What percentage of male children is likely to be colorblind?

    Building Vocabulary
    Fill in the blank to complete each statement.

    6. A person who has one recessive allele for a trait and one dominant
    allele is called a(n)
    .
    7. One of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in each body cell that carry
    genes that determine a persons gender are called
    .
    8. Genes found on the X and Y chromosomes are often called

    Human Inheritance
    If the statement is true, write true. If the statement is false, change the underlined word
    or words to make the statement true.
    1.

    The body cells of humans contain 46 pairs of chromosomes.

    2.

    A widows peak is a trait controlled by many genes.

    3.

    In the case of sex-linked traits, only females can be carriers.

    4.

    In females, a recessive allele on the X chromosome often has no


    matching allele on the Y chromosome.

    5.

    The only thing determined by the genes carried on a sex


    chromosome is a persons gender.

    6.

    Colorblindness is a trait controlled by a dominant allele on the


    X chromosome.

    Fill in the blank to complete each statement.


    7. The sex chromosome carried by a human egg will always be a(n)
    chromosome.
    8. A person who has one recessive and one dominant allele for a trait is called a(n)
    .
    9. The only pair of human chromosomes that do not always match are the
    .
    10. Genes found on the X and Y chromosomes are often called
    genes.
