Punnett Square Practice #13

A naturalist visiting an island in the middle of a large lake observes a species of small bird with three distinct types of beaks. Those with short, crushing beaks (BB) consume hard shelled nuts, those with long, delicate beaks (bb) pick the seeds from pine cones, and those with intermediate beaks (Bb), consume both types of seeds though they are not as good at either. Assume that this difference in beak morphology is the result of incomplete dominance in a single locus gene. What would be the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring if you cross a bird that consumes hard shelled nuts with a bird that consumes both types of seeds?

In the breeding season, male Anole lizards court females by bobbing their heads up and down

while displaying a colorful throat patch. Assume that both males and females bob their heads

and have throat patches. Also assume that anoles prefer to mate with lizards who bob their

heads fast (F) and have red throat patches (R) and that these two alleles are dominant to their

counterparts, slow bobbing and yellow throats. A male lizard (FfRr) mates with a female lizard

(ffRr). How many of the offspring have the preferred fast bobbing and red throat phenotype?

Dihybrid Practice #20

Wolves are sometimes observed to have black coats and blue eyes. Assume that these traits are controlled by single locus genes and are located on different chromosomes. Assume further that normal coat color (N) is dominant to black (n) and brown eyes (B) are dominant to blue (b). Suppose the alpha male and alpha female of a pack (these are the dominant individuals who do most of the breeding) are black with blue eyes and normal colored with brown eyes, respectively. The female is also heterozygous for both traits. How many of the offspring (assume 16) living in the pack will be normal colored with blue eyes?
