In rabbits, gray hair is dominant to white hair. Also in rabbits, black eyes are dominant to red eyes. These letters
represent the genotypes of the rabbits:
1. What are the phenotypes (descriptions) of rabbits that have the following genotypes?
Ggbb ____________________ ggBB ________________________
ggbb ____________________ GgBb _________________________
2. A male rabbit with the genotype GGbb is crossed with a female rabbit with the genotype ggBb the square is set up
below. Fill it out and determine the phenotypes and proportions in the offspring.
How many out of 16 have gray fur and

black eyes? ________
How many out of 16 have gray fur and red

eyes? ________
How many out of 16 have white fur and


red eyes________

3. A male rabbit with the genotype GgBb is crossed with a female rabbit with the genotype GgBb The
square is set up below. Fill it out and determine the phenotypes and proportions of offspring
How many out of 16 have gray fur and

How many out of 16 have gray fur and red

eyes? ________


red eyes? ________

4. Show the cross between a ggBb and a GGBb. You'll have to set this one up yourself:
Punnett Square:
5. An aquatic arthropod called a Cyclops has antennae that are either smooth or barbed. The allele for
barbs (B) is dominant over smooth (bb). In the same organism Non-resistance to pesticides (N) is dominant
over resistance to pesticides (nn). Make a "key" to show all the possible genotypes (and phenotypes) of this
organism.
Genotype Phenotype
BB
Bb
bb
NN
Nn
nn

6. A Cyclops that is resistant to pesticides and has smooth antennae is crossed with one that is
heterozygous for both traits. Show the genotypes of the parents.
______________ x _______________
7. Set up a punnett square for the cross.
8. What are the phenotypic ratios of the offspring?

DiHybrid Practice Problems
1. In man, assume that spotted skin (S) is dominant over non-spotted skin (s) and that
wooly hair (W) is dominant over non-wooly hair (w). Cross a marriage between a
heterozygous spotted, non-wooly man with a heterozygous wooly-haired, non-spotted
woman. Give genotypic and phenotypic ratios of offspring.
2. In horses, black is dependent upon a dominant gene, B, and chestnut upon its recessive
allele, b. The trotting gait is due to a dominant gene, T, the pacing gait to its recessive
allele, t. If a homozygous black pacer is mated to a homozygous chestnut trotter, what will
be the appearance of the F1 generation?
3. In summer squash, white fruit color (W) is dominant over yellow fruit color (w) and disk-
shaped fruit (D) is dominant over sphere-shaped fruit (d).. If a squash plant true-breeding for
white, disk-shaped fruit is crossed with a plant true-breeding for yellow, sphere-shaped fruit,

5. In mice, the ability to run normally is a dominant trait. Mice with this trait are called
running mice (R). The recessive trait causes mice to run in circles only. Mice with this trait
are called waltzing mice (r). Hair color is also inherited in mice. Black hair (B) is dominant
over brown hair (b).For each of the following problems, determine the parent genotypes,
determine possible gametes then construct a Punnet square to solve.
a. Cross a heterozygous running, heterozygous black mouse with a homozygous running,

homozygous black mouse
Parental genotypes ______________

Possible gametes _____ _____ _____ _____
Offspring phenotypic ratio ________________

b. Cross a homozygous running, homozygous black mouse with a heterozygous running,

brown mouse


c. Cross a waltzing brown mouse with a waltzing brown mouse


d. Cross a homozygous running, heterozygous black mouse with a waltzing brown mouse


e. Cross a heterozygous running, brown mouse with a heterozygous running, homozygous

black mouse

f. Cross a heterozygous running, heterozygous black mouse with a heterozygous running,

heterozygous black mouse

Recessive allele for white fur in guinea pigs =b
Dominate allele for rough fur in guinea pigs =R
Recessive allele for smooth fur in guinea pigs = r
Cross a heterozygous parent (BbRr) with a
heterozygous parent (BbRr)

a. What is the probability of producing guinea
pigs with black, rough fur?

b. What is the probability of producing guinea

pigs with black, smooth fur?
c. What is the probability of producing guinea
pigs with white, rough fur?
d. What is the probability of producing guinea

pigs with white, smooth fur?
