    Activity 2 Mystery Bull

    Uploaded by

    Lena Mojica Quiñones-Manzano
    This document appears to be a worksheet for an activity involving genetics and animal breeding. Students are asked to: 1. Determine the possible genotypes and offspring for three scenarios of bulls mating with cows of different colors. 2. Illustrate the possibilities using Punnett squares. 3. Present their answers and discuss with their group. The overall goal is to help a farmer named Mang Marcelino determine which bull mated with his cows after fences were damaged and the cows were exposed to multiple bulls of different colors.

    The key takeaways are that Mang Marcelino's cows mated with bulls of different colors and we need to determine the possible fathers by solving Punnett squares.

    The possible phenotypes of the calves would depend on the colors of the bull and cow in each mating. A red bull with a red cow would only produce red calves. A red bull with a white cow could produce red or white calves. A roan bull with a red cow could produce red or roan calves.

    If the investigation is able to determine which bull is most likely the father of each calf based on the results of the Punnett squares, then Mang Marcelino would likely be happy with the results.

    Activity 2 Mystery Bull


    Objectives:
    List the genotypes of the bull and cow in the given problem
    Diagram and complete a Punnett square
    Give phenotypic percentages of the offspring
    Materials: (by group)
    Marking pen
    Manila paper
    Procedure:
    1. Read the given problem:
    Mang Marcelino owns purebred red cows. In his farm he noticed that after a
    typhoon several months ago, all of the fences that separate his cattle from his neighbors
    cattle were destroyed. During the time that the fences were down, three bulls, one from
    each neighbor, mingled with his cows. For awhile, he thought that none of the bulls
    found his cows, but over the months, he noticed that all of his cows are pregnant. He
    suspected that one of the bulls is the father.
    Which bull is it? Help Mang Marcelino look for the father by solving the given
    problem.

    Determine the possible traits of the calves if :
    1. a red (RR) bull is mated with a red (RR) cow 1
    2. a red(RR) bull is mated with a white (WW) cow 2
    3. a roan(RW) is mated with a red(RR)cow 3
    2. Illustrate your answers using a Punnett square.
    3. Write your answers on the Manila paper.
    4. Present and discuss your answers.
    Q5. Will you be able to trace the father of the calves?______________
    What are the possible phenotypes of the calves for each cow?
    _____________________________________________

    investigation? _________________________________
    Q7. How are you going to explain it to him? ________________________
