Among a breed of sheep, black coat (B allele) colour is dominant to white (b allele). Curly hair (C allele) is dominant to straight hair (c allele). Assume classical mendelian inheritance. A true breeding male sheep with black and curly hair is crossed with a true breeding female with white and straight hair to produce an F1 generation.

This F1 generation will all have

hair.

A male offspring of this F1 generation is then mated with a female with the same genotype as its mother. Fill in the following punnett square using the alleles of the F1 father and the true breeding white and straight haired mother, using the flowing rules:

  • Dominant versions of the allele come before recessive ones (Cc NOT cC)

  •  B or b alleles come before C or c (BbCc, NOT CcBb AND NOT BCbc)

  • Gametes should be ordered in table left to right, and top to bottom based on the above rules (i.e. Left/Top - BC - Bc - bC - bc - Right/Bottom, if applicable

  • No spaces or symbols should be placed between alleles.

  • Only enter the alleles into the able, do not enter anything else

  

 

Mother’s gametes

Father’s gametes

 

---

What is the chance of the mother and father in the punnett square producing offspring with:

Black and straight hair: 

% (enter a number only, e.g. 1 NOT one, do not include the percentage sign)

White and straight hair: 

% (enter a number only, e.g. 1 NOT one, do not include the percentage sign)
