Q. 1. Prepare a family tree for at least 3
generations. (Maternal or Paternal family)
1) Show the blood groups of all individuals in
family tree and upload it. (This is already
done by you. Simply send it here)
2) As you now know about multiple allelism
and codominance, try to justify inheritance of
blood groups of the members of 2nd and 3rd
generation in your family. (Work out the
genetic crosses to justify)
3) If any of the family members does not
know the blood group, see if you can predict
it based on your knowledge of genetics.
(Note: It is not possible in a few cases! )
Q. 2. In wheat, 3 genes cotrol the colour of
kernel. Dominent alleles A, B and C contribute
towards a reddish pigment that decides the
kernel colour. [additive effect] . Recessive
alleles a, b, and c do not produce the
pigment. The total no. of dominent alleles in
the genotype decides the kernel colourranginging from dark red to white.
If a wheat plant with AABbcc genotype is
crossed with aabBCC plant, what would be
the possible genotypes and phenotypes of
the F1 wheat plants? Show with a genetic
cross.
Q. 3. If two andalusian fowls with blue
feathers are crossed, what would be the
possible phenitypes in F1 progeny? Work out
across and give the genotypic and
phenotypic ratio of the same.
Q. 4. Two newborn babies were accidentally
mixed up at the hospital.
Baby 1 - blood group A
Baby 2 - blood group O
Determine the parents of the babies by blood
type inheritance.
Mrs. Brown - Blood group B
Mr. Brown - Blood grouo ABMrs. Smith - Blood group B
Mr. Smith - Blood group B
Q.5. What is the chance that a blood type O
and Type AB couple could produce offspring
with blood type A?
Q.6. A homozygous type B woman marries a
heterozygous Type A man. Work out a cross
to show the possible genotypes and
phenotypes(blood groups) of their children.
Q.7. Mr Ramesh(blood group O) has a
daughter (blood group B). She marries a man
with blood group O.
What are the possible blood groups of the
grandchildren of Mr. Ramesh? Show the
genetic cross.
Q. 8. Here is a case of paternity dispute. A
woman with blood group A has a son with
blood group O. Two men, with blood group ABand blood group B claim to be the father of
this child. With your knowledge of
inheritance of ABO bloodgroups, identify the
real father of the child. Support your answer
by genetic crossing.
Q. 9. What are your possible genotypes if you
have:
a)type A blood?
b) type B blood?
c) type AB blood?
d) type O blood?
Q. 10. Aman with straight hair marries a
woman with curly hair. All of their children
have wavy hair. The eldest son marries a
woman who also has wavy hair. They have 6
children. 2 of them have straight hair, 3 have
wavy hair and 1 child has curly hair.
Identify the pattern of inheritance and explain
with a genetic cross.Q. 11. When deep purple eggplants were
crossed with white eggplants, it resulted in
eggplants of a light violet colored fruits.
Identify the type of inheritance pattern.
Q.12. A test cross was carried out to
determine whether a fruit fly is homozygous
(WW) or heterozygous (Ww) for long wings.
The progeny showed 5 long-winged flies & 4
short winged-flies. Which of the following is a
valid conclusion?
A. the fruit fly is WW
B. the fruit fly is Ww
C. the fruit fly is ww
D. more offspring are needed
Q.13. Individuals with the same phenotype
have the same genotype.
A. true
B. false
Q.14. Which scenario best supports theconclusion that a black guinea pig's genotype
is homozygous dominant?
A. after mating with a white guinea pig, 2
black & 2 white guinea pigs were produced.
B. after mating with a white guinea pig, 10
black & 8 white guinea pigs were produced.
C. after mating with a white guinea pig, 12
black guinea pigs were produced.
D. after mating with a black guinea pig, 2
black guinea pigs were produced.
Q. 15. Two brown-eyed parents have a child
with blue eyes. The best explanation is:
A. a mutation occured before the child was
born
B. both parents carry the allele for blue eyes
C. both parents are pure for brown eye
Q.16. In mice brown (B) is dominant to white
(b). A brown mouse is mated with a white
mouse. Twelve brown mice are produced.
The brown mouse's genotype is:A. BB
B. Bb
G, [ofs)
D. a reliable conclusion can't be reached
Q. 17. Two tall pea plants are crossed,
producing 101 tall plants & 33 short plants.
The genotypes of the tall parent plants are:
A. Tt&Tt
EL US Wi
Coie cath
D. tt &tt
Q.18. To discover whether an animal showing
the dominant trait is homozygous or
heterozygous, it must be crossed with an
animal that is:
A. homozygous dominant
B. homozygous recessive
C. heterozygous
D. choices B & CQ. 19. In humans, brown eye colour is
dominent over blue eye colour. A brown eyed
man has a blue eyed mother.
1. Give the genotypes of the man and his
mother.
2. What are the possible genotypes of his
father?
3. If this brown eyed man (son), marries a
blue eyed woman, what would be the
possible eye colours of their children? (work
out a genetic cross)
Q. 20. To identify the genotype of yellow-
seeded pea plants as either homozygous
dominant (YY) or heterozygous (Yy), you
could do a test cross with plants of genotype
Q. 21. In hamsters, brown coat colur (B) is
dominant over albino(b). (Albino do not
produce any pigment)
You want to know if your brown hamstercarries the allele for albinism.
1. How would you find out? Explain by
working out genetic crosses.
2. What is this method/cross called?
Q. 22. In dogs, the barking trait is dominant
over the silent trait and erect ears are
dominant over drooping ears. Now, find out:
1. What is the expected phenotypic ratio of
the offspring when dogs, heterozygous for
both the traits are crossed ?
2. What are different phenotypes observed?
Give the phenotypic ratio.
