Genotype vs. Phenotype
B = brown eyes
b = blue eyes
What would the genotype be for an individual
who is heterozygous?
What would the phenotype be for an individual
who is heterozygous?
If a person has blue eyes, what is their
genotype?
Step-by-step guide to Punnett Squares
-Punnett squares are used to predict the
results of a genetic cross
-For a monohybrid cross, you will start
with a four-square Punnett square:
-Then place the alleles of the parents on the
outside of the square
example cross: Tt x tt
(tall x short)
tt
t t

-Now, summarize the results:

Practice Question #1
Let's say that in seals, the gene for the length
of the whiskers has two alleles.
The dominant allele (W) codes long whiskers &
the recessive
allele (w) codes for short whiskers.
a) What percentage of offspring would be
expected to have short whiskers from the
cross of two long-whiskered seals, one that is
homozygous dominant and one that is
heterozygous?
b) If one parent seal is pure long-whiskered
and the other is short-whiskered, what percent
of offspring would have short whiskers?
Answers to Practice Question #1
A)
B)
Practice Question #2
In purple people eaters, one-horn is dominant and
no horns is recessive. Draw a Punnet Square
showing the cross of a purple people eater that is
hybrid for horns with a purple people eater that
does not have horns. Summarize the genotypes &
phenotypes of the possible offspring.

Vocabulary Review
one of each allele for a trait
monohybrid
the trait that is hidden (in heterozygous)
the genetic makeup of an organism
genotype
a cross showing one trait
dihybrid
the physical appearance of the trait
heterozygous
homozygous
dominant
the trait is expressed in both hetero and homozygous
two of the same alleles for a trait
recessive
phenotype
a cross showing two traits
