Activity No. 4
Monohybrid Cross

Objectives: To infer transmission of a single gene and develop problem solving skills

Instruction: Read carefully each question. Solve the problems, give the correct and answer and
show your solution using extra sheets of intermediate pads. Please box your final answer.

1. The presence of a dimple on the cheek is governed by a dominant gene. Both parents of
May and John have dimples, but May does not have. Her brother, John, has dimples. A)
What are the genotypes of the four members in his family? B) What would be the
probability of having the third and fourth child to have dimples?

Given:
D – Dominant allele (Presence of Dimple)
d – Recessive allele (Absence of Dimple)

A. Father’s Genotype= Dd
Mother’s Genotype= Dd
John’s Genotype= Dd
May’s Genotype= dd

B. 3/4 is the probability of having a child that have dimples, and the probability of having
the third and fourth child to have dimples is 9/16.
Solution:
½D ½d

½D ¼ DD ¼ Dd

½d ¼ Dd ¼ dd

GR: 1 DD:2 Dd:1 dd


PR: 3 (presence of dimples): 1 (without dimple or normal)
Therefore:
3/4 x 3/4 = 9/16
2. A woman has a rate abnormality of the eyelids called ptosis, which makes it impossible
for her to open her eyes completely. The condition has been found to depend on a single
dominant gene (P). The woman’s father had ptosis, but her mother had normal eyelids.
Her father’s mother had normal eyelids. A) What are the probable genotypes of the
woman, her father and her mother? B) What proportion of her children will be expected
to have ptosis, if she marries a man with normal eyelids? Show your solution using
Punnett square.

Given:
P- Dominant allele, (presence Ptosis)
p- Recessive allele, (absence of Ptosis or Normal)

A. Woman= Pp
Father= Pp
Mother= pp
B. 1/2 is the expected proportion of her children to have ptosis, if she marries a man
with normal eyelids.

Solution:
1/2 P 1/2 p

1/2 p 1/4 Pp ¼ pp

1/2 p 1/4 Pp ¼ pp

GR: 2 Pp : 2 pp
PR: 1 (presence ptosis) : 1 (without or normal)

3. In peas, gray seed color (G) is dominant to green (g). The following data were collected.
Indicate the genotype of each set of parents.
Parental Phenotypes Parental Gray Green

4. Pigeons exhibit a checkered or plain feather pattern. In a series of controlled mating,
the following data were obtained. Infer how these traits are transmitted and give the
genotypes of the parental and F 1 crosses.
F1 Progeny
Parental Cross Parental Checkered Plain
Genotypes
a. checkered x checkered CC x CC 36 0
b. checkered x plain CC x cc 38 0
c. plain x plain cc x cc 0 35

Let C be checkered, and c for plain

A. Checkered x Checkered

1/2 C 1/2 C

1/2 C 1/4 CC 1/4 CC


1/2 C 1/4 CC 1/4 CC

GR: CC
PR: All Checkered

B. Checkered x plain

1/2 C 1/2 C

1/2 c 1/4 Cc 1/4 Cc


1/2 c 1/4 Cc 1/4 Cc

C. Plain x plain

1/2 c 1/2 c

1/2 c 1/4 cc 1/4 cc


1/2 c 1/4 cc 1/4 cc

Then F1 offspring were selectively mated with the following results. (The P cross giving rise
to each F1 pigeon is indicated in parentheses.
