    This genetics worksheet provides information about different traits that are determined by dominant and recessive genes. Students are asked to determine genotypes and phenotypes based on given genetic information, complete Punnett squares to show the possible offspring from different parental pairings, and calculate the probabilities of different traits appearing in offspring. The traits covered are hair style, face shape, chin shape, eye size, and several examples are provided of specific individuals and the genetic analysis of their potential offspring.

    Purebred straight hair: _________ Hybrid oval face: _________

    4. Abe recently met a curly haired girl, Emma, at the dance and fell in love. Use your
    knowledge of genetics to answer the questions below.

    A. What is Emma’s genotype? ________


    B. Abe is heterozygous for his straight hair. What is his genotype? ______
    C. Complete the Punnett square to show the possibilities
    that would result if Abe & Emma had children.

    D. List the possible genotypes & phenotypes of the


    children.

    E. What is the probability of kids with straight hair? ______%


    F. What is the probability of kids with curly hair? ______%
    5. Wilma is believed to be heterozygous for her oval face shape, while Wilbur’s family
    brags they are a purebred line for the oval face shape. Complete the Punnett square to
    show the possibilities that would result if Wilma & Wilbur had children.

    A. What is Wilma’s genotype? ________


    B. What is Wilbur’s genotype? ________
    C. Complete the Punnett square to show the possibilities
    that would result if they had children.

    D. List the possible genotypes & phenotypes of the children.

    E. What is the probability of kids with oval face shape? ______%


    F. What is the probability of kids with round face shape? ______%

    6. Susan is so proud of her son and his new wife, Lisa, as they are expecting a baby!
    Susan knows that they have a 50% chance of having a baby with a regular shaped chin,
    but is hoping the new arrival will have a receding chin (a recessive trait) like Lisa and
    many members of her family. If Shaun is heterozygous for his normal shaped chin,
    what are the chances that the baby will have a receding chin? Create a Punnett square
    to help you answer this question.
    A. Lisa’s genotype is: ___________
    B. Shaun’s genotype is: _________

    C. What is the probability of a child with a


    normal shaped chin? _____%
    D. What is the probability of a child with a receding chin? _____%

    7. Shaun’s aunt is famous around town for her itty bitty small eyes! She recently met a
    cute fellow who also has small eyes, which is a recessive trait. Would it be possible for
    them to have a child with large eyes? Why or why not? Create a Punnett square to
    help you answer this question.
