A. S.P.A.C.E. Lab Objectives:

At the end of the laboratory study, I should be able to:
1. Predict phenotypic expressions of traits following a simple pattern of inheritance
2. Illustrate diagrammatically the explanation of Mendelian principles.
B. MATERIALS:
The S.P.A.C.E. Lab will require the following:
• Pen
• Paper
Part A: Vocabulary
Match the definition on the left with the terms on the right.
________ 1. Genotypes made of the same alleles A. alleles
________2. Different forms of genes for a single trait B. dominant
________3. The gene that is always expressed C. heterozygous
________4. The gene that is expressed only in the homozygous state D. homozygous
________5. Genotypes made of two different alleles E. recessive
Below each of the following are choices. Circle the choices that are examples of those
words.
6. Dominant allele
D e k L N n R S
7. Recessive allele
M n d F G r k P
8. Homozygous Dominant
AA Gg KK mm uu PP
9. Homozygous recessive
ee Ff HH Oo qq Uu ww
10. Genotypes in which the dominant allele is seen (expressed)
AA Dd EE ff Jj RR Ss
11. Genotypes in which the recessive allele is seen (expressed)
aa Gg Ff KK rr oo Tt
Part B; Punnet squares:
12. Examine the following Punnet squares and circle those that are correct.
13. What do the letters on the outside of the Punnet square stand for?
_________________________________________________________________
14. What do the letters on the inside of the Punnet square stand for?
___________________________________________________________________
15. In corn plants, the normal height is N, which is dominant to sort height, n. Complete these
four Punnet squares showing different crosses. Then, shade red all the homozygous dominant
offspring. Shade green for all the heterozygous offspring. Leave all the homozygous recessive
offspring unshaded.
16. In guinea pigs, short hair, S is dominant to long hair, s. Complete the following Punnet
square according to the direction given. Then, fill in the blanks
Beside each Punnet square with the correct numbers.
Part C: Monohybrid cross Problems: Show your work with a Punnet Square.
17. Hornless (H) in cattle is dominant over horned (h). A homozygous hornless bull is mated with
a homozygous horned cow. What will be the genotype and phenotype of the first generation?
Parents = _________ x ___________
First Generation genotypes (F1) = _________________________
First Generation Phenotype (F1) = _________________________
18. In tomatoes, red fruit (R) is dominant over yellow fruit (r). A plant that is homozygous for
red fruit is crossed with a plant that has yellow fruit. What would be the genotypes and phenotypes
of the F1 generation?
Parents = _________ x __________
First generation genotype (F1) = _____________________
First generation phenotype (F1) =_____________________

19. If two of the F1 generation from the above cross were mated. What would be the
genotypes and phenotypes of the F2?
__________________________________________________________________________________
20. In humans, being a tongue roller (R) is dominant over non–roller (r). A man who’s a non-
roller marries a woman who is heterozygous for tongue rolling. What is the probability of this couple
having a child who is a tongue roller?
____________________________________________________
Father’s phenotype ________________ Mother’s phenotype _____________
Father’s genotype _________________ Mother’s genotype _____________
F. Conclusion:
SCORING RUBRIC:
The experiment shall be rated based on the criteria below:
5 – Excellent; 4 – Very Good; 3 – Good; 2 – Poor; 1- Very Poor
CRITERIA RATING
1. Data is accurately and precisely presented.

3. Analysis shows an in-depth understanding of the principle/theory and or concept.
4. Conclusion is comprehensive and related to the objective/s stated.
5. Experiment paper is neatly submitted.
