    This document provides examples of using Punnett squares to determine possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring from given parental crosses, along with the percentage chance of each. It gives examples for traits such as coat color in rabbits and butterflies, deafness in dogs, hair length in guinea pigs, and tongue curling ability in humans.

    More Punnett Square Practice 11.2

    A punnett square helps scientists predict the possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring when they know the
    genotypes of the parents. The phenotype is the physical appearance of an organism and the genotype is the
    inherited combination of alleles. This skill sheet will give you additional practice in using punnett squares to
    solve genetics problems.

    In rabbits, black fur is dominant to white fur. If you cross a BB male with a Bb female, what are the possible
    genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring? What is the percent chance for each type?

    Solution:
    B B

    B BB BB

    b Bb Bb

    Genotype Phenotype Chance

    BB Black fur 50%

    Bb Black fur 50%

    1. In cabbage butterflies, White wings are dominant to yellow wings. If a Ww butterfly is crossed with a ww
    butterfly, what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring and the percent chance for each?

    W w

    w Ww ww

    w Ww ww

    Fill in the table:

    Genotype Phenotype Chance

    Ww White Wings 50%


    ww Yellow Wings 50%

    2. In dogs, there is a hereditary type of deafness caused by a recessive gene. Two dogs who carry the 11.2
    gene for deafness but have normal hearing are mated. What are the possible genotypes and
    phenotypes of their offspring and the percent chance for each?

    D d

    D DD Dd

    d Dd dd

    Fill in the table:

    Genotype Phenotype Chance

    DD Normal Hearing 25%

    Dd Normal Hearing 50%


    dd Deaf 25%

    3. In guinea pigs, short hair is dominant over long hair. If a short haired SS guinea pig is crossed with a long
    haired ss guinea pig, what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring and the percent
    chance of each?

    S S

    s Ss Ss

    s Ss Ss

    Fill in the table:

    Genotype Phenotype Chance

    Ss Short Hair 100%

    4. Can you curl your tongue up on the sides? Tongue-curling in humans is a dominant genetic trait. 11.2
    Suppose a man who is Tt for tongue-curling marries a woman who is also Tt for this trait. What are
    the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their children and the percent chance for each?

    T t

    T TT Tt

    t Tt tt

    Fill in the table:

    Genotype Phenotype Chance

    TT Can do tongue curling 25%

    Tt Can do tongue curling 50%

    tt Cannot do tongue curling 25%

    5. In guinea pigs, rough coats (with lots of swirly cowlicks) are dominant over smooth coats. If an RR guinea
    pig is crossed with a Rr guinea pig, what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring? What
    are the chances of each?

    R R

    R RR RR

    r Rr Rr

    Fill in the table:

    Genotype Phenotype Chance

    RR Rough Coated 50%


    Rr Smooth Coated 50%
