Genotype Phenotype Worksheet

This document provides information about genetics concepts including phenotype, genotype, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, and recessive traits. It gives examples of traits and their alleles, and asks the reader to determine genotypes and phenotypes based on combinations of alleles. The reader is asked to fill in genotypes and phenotypes for traits like seed shape, plant height, and pod color based on whether the alleles are dominant, recessive, homozygous, or heterozygous.

Genetics worksheet part 1

Understanding Phenotype and Genotype, you must understand homozygous and


heterozygous as well as dominant and recessive. If you don’t understand these
terms please ask.

Use the following traits to determine Phenotype and Genotype.

Trait Dominant Allele Recessive Allele


Ear Lobes Free Ear LobesE Attached Ear Lobes e
Hair Type Curly C Straight c
Dimples Dimples D No Dimples d
Thumb Straight Thumb T Curved Thumb t
Eyelashes Long Eyelashes L Short Eyelashes l

1. Write out the GENOTYPE(S) for these people:


a. Heterozygous long eyelashes ______
b. Homozygous straight thumb ______
c. Dimples ______
d. Straight hair ______
e. Hybrid free ear lobes ______
f. Homozygous curved thumb ______
g. Hybrid curly hair ______
h. Straight thumb ______

2. Write out the PHENOTYPES for these people


a. Ee ______________________________________
b. cc ______________________________________
c. DD _____________________________________
d. Dd _____________________________________
e. Tt ______________________________________
f. ll ______________________________________
g. Ll ______________________________________
h. CC _____________________________________
i. LL _____________________________________

Phenotype/Genotype Worksheet

Fill in the symbol that describes each type of allele.


The letter used is traditionally the first letter of the dominant trait. Both the dominant and
recessive alleles for each trait are the same letter. The dominant is capital, the recessive is lower
case.

Trait Dominant Symbol Recessive Symbol


Seed shape Round wrinkled
Seed color Yellow green
Pod shape Smooth constricted
pod color Green yellow
Flower Position Axial Terminal
Plant Height Tall Short

Genotype – the pair of alleles that make up a gene.


Types (Homo = same, hetero= different)
Homozygous dominant = both alleles are dominant (both capital letters)
Homozygous recessive = both alleles are recessive (both lower case)
Heterozygous = one of each (one capital, one recessive)

Use the above chart to answer the following answers.


Give the genotype for each gene.
1. Homozygous dominant seed shape

2. Homozygous dominant plant height

3. Homozygous recessive seed color

4. Homozygous recessive pod color

5. Heterozygous seed shape

6. Heterozygous pod color

7. Homozygous dominant pod shape

8. Heterozygous pod shape

9. Homozygous recessive pod color

10. Heterozygous plant height

Phenotype – the resulting characteristic of the organism

When alleles are either dominant or recessive – only the dominant trait is expressed
(shows up).
If the genotype is RR the phenotype is round (both alleles are dominant)
If the genotype is Rr, the phenotype is round (one is dominant, one is recessive so
the dominant shows up)
If the genotype is rr, the phenotype is wrinkled. (both are recessive so the
recessive shows up)
Give the PHENOTYPES for the previous genotypes.

1. Homozygous dominant seed shape

2. Homozygous dominant plant height

3. Homozygous recessive seed color

4. Homozygous recessive pod color

5. Heterozygous seed shape

6. Heterozygous pod color

7. Homozygous dominant pod shape

8. Heterozygous pod shape

9. Homozygous recessive pod color

10. Heterozygous plant height
