In the eastern collared lizard, Crotaphytus collaris, commonly known as Mountain Boomers, the genes for length of tail exhibit "incomplete" dominance. Use a Punnett Square to predict the result of a cross between a homozygous Long-tailed and a homozygous Short-tailed Mountain Boomer. Use a Punnett square to predict what the offspring will look like?

In guinea pigs, black coat color (A) is dominant over white (a), short hair (B) is dominant over long (b), and rough coat (D) is dominant over smooth (d). Show the Punnett Square for a cross between a homozygous black, short-haired, rough coat guinea pig and a homozygous white, long-haired, smooth coat guinea pig. What do the offspring look like?

Color-blindness is a sex-linked recessive trait. A woman of normal vision, whose father was color-blind marries a man of normal vision whose maternal grandfather was color-blind. What type of vision will be expected in their children?

  • Punnett Squares on Human Blood Types, Mitosis, Meiosis, and Genetic Variability

    pHello Human ABO blood types are a great way to demonstrate codominant inheritance patterns and the use of Punnett squares to predict offspring phenotypic ratios.

  • Punnett Squares: Representing Mendelian Inheritance

    So the square would look something like what we see above. The alleles have been color-coded to make them easier to follow. Orange is used instead of yellow because it is easier to see.

  • Genotypes and phenotype ratios

    Therefore, the phenotypes can be determined by the alleles in each offspring square: an uppercase letter represents a dominant allele. Any offspring with one uppercase letter for a particular trait will have that trait.

  • Punnett Square Explanation and Solving With Genetics
