Other Types of Genetic
Crosses
And their Punnett Squares
Multiple Alleles
Wild Type Red Eyes
Mutant Apricot Eyes
Example: Fruit
fly eye colour
Mutant White Eyes
Mutant Honey Eyes
Multiple Alleles
More than 2 alleles for a gene.
Dominance hierarchy. (One will dominate
over others.)
Show this in solution using the first letter
of the gene name, then a superscript to
reflect how dominant it is (1 is most
dominant)
Multiple Alleles
Example: Fruit Fly eye colour (memorize
this for test)
– 4 alleles:
Red, Apricot, Honey, White
– Each allele shows some dominance, except
White (E4):
Red (E1): Dominant to all (E1E1, E1E2, E1E3, E1E4)
Apricot (E2): Dominant over honey & white (E2E2,
E2E3, E2E4)
Honey (E3): Dominant over white (E3E3, E3E4)
Codominance
Example: Coat colour in horses
Codominance
Both alleles show up in hybrid.
– Example: Some hairs are brown, some are
white.
There is NO dominant allele.
Show this in Punnett Squares using the
first letter of the gene word, and
Superscripts – the first letter of the trait
word.
Codominance
Example: A chestnut (red) horse and a
white horse are crossed. All the offspring
are roan (both red and white hairs).
Let CR = Red
Red horse: CRCR
CW = White
White horse: CWCW

Incomplete Dominance
Example:
Colour of
flowers in
snapdragons
Incomplete Dominance
The alleles blend to form a different
heterozygous phenotype.
– Example: Having a red allele and a white
allele will make the flower pink.
We show this in a Punnett Square the
same way as with Codominance.
Incomplete Dominance
Example: Purebred red snapdragons
crossed with purebred white snapdragons
produced pink snapdragons.
Let CR = Red
Red snapdragon: CRCR
CW = White
White snapdragon: CWCW

ABO Blood Groups
Four possible blood types: A, B, AB, and O.
Both multiple alleles and codominance.
– “A” allele (IA) codes for galactosamine on blood cell
membrane (allows your body to recognize it as its
own)
– “B” allele (IB) codes for galactose
– “O” allele (i) codes for neither
Both IA and IB are dominant over i, but neither is
dominant over the other
– IAIB: both galactosamine and galactose are expressed
Phenotypes: Genotypes
A blood type: IAIA, IAi
B blood type: IBIB, IBi
O blood type: ii
AB blood type: IAIB
Donating & Receiving Blood
Giving blood:
–
–
–
–
O gives to everyone
A can give to A and AB
B can give to B and AB
AB can give to AB
Getting blood:
–
–
–
–
AB can get blood from anyone
A can get blood from A or O
B can get blood from B or O
O can only get blood from O
