Single Trait Inheritance and Test Cross
Single Trait Inheritance
solving problems that involve just one gene with
two alleles
use a 2x2 Punnett Square
have up to 4 possible outcomes
Test Cross
used to determine the genotype of an
individual
either homozygous dominant or heterozygous
Test Cross
example:
a black sheep is not preferred because the
wool is brittle and difficult to dye
black wool is recessive
to ensure you will have no black sheep, you
must have at least one homozygous dominant
parent
Test Cross
use a test cross to determine the genotype of
an individual with a dominant phenotype
cross homozygous recessive with the
unknown individual
Test Cross
Test Cross
if any of the offspring show the recessive trait,
then the parent must be heterozygous
Practice
for Labrador retrievers, black fur colour is
dominant over yellow
what would be the genotype of a homozygous
black dog? a heterozygous black dog?
a yellow female mates with a male with an
unknown genotype, if the pups all have black fur,
what is the genotype and phenotype of the
male? explain.
Practice
for Dalmatian dogs, the spotted condition is dominant
over non-spotted
using a punnett square, show the results of a cross
between two heterozygous parents
a heterozygous spotted female Dalmatian dog mates
with an unknown father. from the appearance of the
pups, the owner concludes the male was a Dalmatian.
the owner notes that the female has 3 spotted and 3
non-spotted pups. what are the genotype and
phenotype of the unknown mate?
