Genetic Crosses that Involve 2 Traits -- Biology 2A In rabbits, grey hair is dominant to white hair. Also in rabbits, black eyes are dominant to red eyes. These letters represent the genotypes of the rabbits: GG = gray hair Gg = gray hair gg = white hair BB = black eyes Bb = black eyes bb = red eyes 1. What are the phenotypes (descriptions) of rabbits that have the following genotypes: Ggbb ____________________ ggBB ________________________ ggbb ____________________ GgBb _________________________ 2. A male rabbit with the genotype GGbb is crossed with a female rabbit with the genotype ggBb The square is set up below. Fill it out and determine the phenotypes and proportions in the offspring. How many out of 16 have grey fur and black eyes? ________ How many out of 16 have grey fur and red eyes? ________ How many out of 16 have white fur and black eyes? ________ How many out of 16 have white fur and red eyes? ________ 3. A male rabbit with the genotype GgBb . Determine the gametes produced by this rabbit (the sperm would have these combinations of alleles) Hint there are 4 combinations. 4. A female rabbit has the genotype ggBb. Determine the gamets (eggs) produced by this rabbit. 5. Use the sex cells from #4 and #5 to set up the punnet square below. Put the male's gametes on the top and the female's gametes down the side. Then fill out the square and determine what kind of offspring would be produced from this cross and in what proportion. 6. An aquatic arthropod called a Cyclops has antennae that are either smooth or barbed. The allele for barbs is dominant. In the same organism, resistance to pesticides is a recessive trait. Make a "key" to show all the possible genotypes (and phenotypes) of this organism. Use the rabbit key to help you if you're lost. 7. A Cyclops that is resistant to pesticides and has smooth antennae is crossed with one that is heterozygous for both traits. Show the genotypes of the parents. ______________ x _______________ 8. Set up a punnet square for the cross. 9. What are the phenotypic ratios of the offspring?
