Incomplete Dominance Problems

Incomplete dominance problems involving Japanese four o'clock plants and cats with different tail lengths are presented. For the four o'clock plants, red flower color (R) is incompletely dominant over white (r), with the hybrid (Rr) having pink flowers. For cats, the long tail allele (L) is incompletely dominant over the no tail allele (ll), with the hybrid (Ll) having short tails. Punnett squares are used to determine the phenotypic and genotypic ratios for offspring from various parental crosses in each example.

Incomplete Dominance Problems

1. In Japanese four o'clock plants red (R) color is incompletely dominant over white (r) flowers,
and the heterozygous condition (Rr) results in plants with pink flowers. For each of the following
construct a punnett square and give phenotypic and genotype ratios of the offspring.
a) a red plant and a white plant }
b) a red plant and a pink plant }
c) a white plant and a pink plant
d) two pink plants

2. In some cats the gene for tail length shows incomplete dominance. Cats with long tails and
cats with no tails are homozygous for their respective alleles. Cats with one long tail allele and
one no tail allele have short tails. For each of the following construct a punnett square and give
phenotypic and genotype ratios of the offspring.
a) a long tail cat and a cat with no tail
b) a long tail cat and a short tail cat
c) a short tail cat and a cat with no tail
d) two short tail cats.

Solutions

1. red (R), white (r), pink (Rr)


a) a red plant and a white plant
RR X rr, gametes for RR (R), gametes for rr (r), resulting phenotype ratio: 100% pink,
resulting genotype ratio: 100% Rr
b) a red plant and a pink plant
RR X Rr, gametes for RR (R), gametes for Rr (R & r), resulting phenotype ratio: 50%
red / 50% pink, resulting genotype ratio: 50% RR / 50% Rr
c) a white plant and a pink plant
rr X Rr, gametes for rr (r), gametes for Rr (R & r), resulting phenotype ratio: 50%
pink / 50% white, resulting genotype ratio: 50% Rr / 50% rr (Thanks Sarah L.)
d) two pink plants
Rr X Rr, gametes for Rr (R & r), gametes for Rr (R & r), resulting phenotype ratio:
25% red / 50% pink / 25% white, resulting genotype ratio: 25% RR / 50% Rr / 25% rr

2. long tails (L), no tails (ll), short tails (Ll).


a) a long tail cat and a cat with no tail
LL X ll, gametes for LL (L), gametes for ll (l), resulting phenotype ratio: 100% short
tails, resulting genotype ratio: 100% Ll
b) a long tail cat and a short tail cat
LL X Ll, gametes for LL (L), gametes for Ll (L & l), resulting phenotype ratio: 50%
long tails / 50% short tails, resulting genotype ratio: 50% LL / 50% Ll
c) a short tail cat and a cat with no tail
Ll X ll, gametes for Ll (L & l), gametes for ll (l), resulting phenotype ratio: 50% short
tails / 50% no tails, resulting genotype ratio: 50% Ll / 50% ll
d) two short tail cats
Ll X Ll, gametes for Ll (L& l), gametes for Ll (L & l), resulting phenotype ratio:
25% Long Tailed, 50% short tailed, and 25% no tailed, resulting genotype ratio: 25%
LL / 50% Ll / 25% ll
