DIHYBRID CROSS

NAME:______DATE:______

1.  Some dogs bark when hunting, others are silent. The barking trait is due to a dominant allele (B). Erect ears are dominant (E) to drooping ears (e). What kind of pups would you expect from a heterozygous, erect-eared barker, crossed with a droop-eared silent hunter? Write all the possible phenotypes, and different genotypes? How many pups from each phenotype? And from each genotype?

2.  In mice, the ability to run normally is a dominant trait. Mice with this trait are called running mice (R). The recessive trait causes mice to run in circles only. Mice with this trait are called waltzing mice (r). Hair color is also inherited in mice. Black hair (B) is dominant over brown hair (b). Determine the parent genotypes, determine possible gametes, then construct a Punnet square to solve phenotypic and genotypic ratio of offspring.
