Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.94 Punnett Squares and Predicting Offspring Ratios skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
On a model farm, wool color follows Bb x bb, where black wool (B) is dominant to white wool (b). Horn shape follows Hh x Hh, where horned (H) is dominant to hornless (h). What fraction of offspring are expected to have black wool and be hornless?
A1/4
B1/8
C3/8
D1/2
Solution & Explanation:Bb x bb gives a 1/2 chance of black wool. Hh x Hh gives a 1/4 chance of being hornless. Multiply 1/2 by 1/4 to get 1/8.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Why can the genotype ratio 1:2:1 from a heterozygous cross become a phenotype ratio of 3:1 under complete dominance?
ABecause the homozygous recessive genotype changes into a heterozygous genotype after fertilization
BBecause two different genotypes, homozygous dominant and heterozygous, can show the same dominant phenotype
CBecause Punnett squares count only dominant alleles in the phenotype ratio
DBecause the recessive phenotype appears in three of the four boxes
Solution & Explanation:In a heterozygous cross, AA and Aa are different genotypes but both display the dominant trait. Grouping those together changes the 1:2:1 genotype ratio into a 3:1 phenotype ratio.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Two completed Punnett squares are shown for AA x aa and Aa x Aa. Which diagram represents a cross between two true-breeding parents that produces all heterozygous F1 offspring?
AFigure 1
BFigure 2
CFigure 3
DFigure 4
Solution & Explanation:A cross between true-breeding dominant and true-breeding recessive parents is AA x aa. All F1 offspring are heterozygous Aa, which is shown in Diagram A.
