Mendel Math Name __________________ Period _____________

1. In a plant that has red flowers (R), is completely dominant to white flower color, (r). If the
plant is heterozygous for flower color, which alleles will be carried by the gametes it produces?

2. In certain dog breeds, deafness is due to a recessive allele (d) of a particular gene, and normal
hearing is due to its dominant allele (D). Predict the percentage of offspring of a normal
heterozygous (Dd) dog and a deaf dog (dd) that would have normal hearing?

3. In the plant Brassica rapa, the allele for purple stem color (P) is dominant to the allele for green
stem color (p). Students in a biology class cross-pollinated a heterozygous purple stemmed plant
(Pp) with a green-stemmed plant (pp). The 78 seeds produced from this cross were planted to
form the F1 generation.
Approximately how many purple stemmed plants and how many green-stemmed plants are
expected to be in the F1 generation? (Be prepared to explain your answer)
A. 0 purple-stemmed plants, 78 green-stemmed plants
B. 39 purple and 39 green
C. 58 purple and 20 green
D. 78 purple-stemmed plants and 0 green stemmed

4. In humans E = hanging earlobes and e = attached earlobes. If a man with hanging earlobes
marries a woman with attached earlobes and they have three kids, two with attached earlobes,
then what are the genotypes of the parents?

5. In fruit flies long wings (L) are dominant over short wings (l), and grey body (G) is dominant over
black body(g). Give the percentages or ratio of phenotypes that would result for the following
matings:
a. LLgg x llGG
b. LLGg x LlGg
c. LlGg x LlGg

6. Give the different possible gametes for each of the following genotypes.
a) WW
b) Aa
c) AATt
d) TtGg
7. In pea plants the gene for wrinkled seed pods (R) is dominant to the gene for smooth pods (r),
and the gene for yellow seeds (Y) is dominant to the gene for green seeds (y). A heterozygous
wrinkled, yellow pea plant is crossed with a homozygous smooth, green pea plant. What
fraction of its offspring will be smooth and yellow?

8. Gregor Mendel self pollinated heterozygous purple flowers and counted the different flower
colors in the next generation. He counted 705 purple flowers and 224 white flowers. We now
understand how to determine if this non-3:1 ratio was due to random chance or whether
something else might be going on. Identify the null hypothesis for this experiment, calculate
the Chi square value for this cross, determine whether or not you accept the null hypothesis,
and justify your claim.

9. In guinea pigs, the allele for black fur (B) is dominant over that for brown fur (b). Similarly, the
allele for short fur (A) is dominant over that for long fur (a). You are an experimenter and you
cross a BbAa and a Bbaa.
a. Construct a punnet square with the potential offspring to determine their Phenotypic
ratios.
b. Out of 760 off spring, your results yielded 70 Black short hair, 260, Brown short hair,
100 blakc long hair, 330 brown long hair.
i. Identify the null hypothesis for this experiment,
ii. calculate the Chi square value for this cross,
iii. determine whether or not you accept the null hypothesis,
iv. justify your claim.
