Learning Task 1: Examine the sample problem given below. Use the same genotypes to determine the offspring's
of the crosses between XbY male and female with XbXb . Find the genotypes, phenotypes, genotypic and phenotypic
ratio of the offspring.
Male-pattern baldness is a recessive sex linked trait in which affected people become bald
Sample Test Cross: male with XbY mated female with XBXb genotype
Genotypes: XB = no baldness (dominant)
Xb=male-pattern baldness (recessive)
Genotypes Phenotypes
XBXb Female normal
XbXb Female bald
XBY Male normal
XbY Male bald
Genotypic Ratio: 25% XBXb, 25% XbXb, 25% XBY, 25% XbY 1:1:1:1
Phenotypic Ratio: 25% Female normal, 25% Female bald, 25% Male normal, 25% Male bald 1:1:1:1
Phenotypic Ratio: 25% female normal, 25% female bald; 25% male normal and
25% male bald
Learning Task 2: Read the handout about exploring snapdragon. Answer the guide questions in your notebook.
In this activity you will investigate the genetic trait of a flower color in snapdragons which does not follow Mendel’s
Law of Dominance
Recalling Mendel’s Law of Dominance, one allele can mask the expression of another allele when they are joint
together. Therefore, if a person has a heterozygous genotype (i.e. one dominant allele and one recessive allele),
he/she will show the dominant phenotype (i.e. physical trait).
In snapdragons, there are two alleles for flower color - one coding for red color and one coding for white color.
When purebred red plants and purebred white plants are crossed, the resulting offspring (i.e., the F1 generation)
are all pink. When the pink offspring are crossed to create a third generation (i.e., the F2 generation), 25% of the
offspring are red, 50% are pink, and 25% are white.
Guide Questions:
__________________________________________________________________
- In snapdragons, flower color is controlled by incomplete dominance. The two alleles are red (R) and white
(R'). The heterozygous genotype is expressed as pink.
Learning Task 3: Given the genotypes and phenotypes of flower color for P and F1, solve for the genotypes and
phenotypes of F2 generation.
Exploring Snapdragons
Prove how the following flower color was produced in the F 1 and F2 generation
