Lab Report: Genetic Crosses 1
You may wish to construct the Punnett squares on scratch paper first before you fill in the Punnett squares on the Lab Report. Answer the questions below. When you are finished, submit this assignment to your teacher by the due date for full credit.
Part 1: Monohybrid Cross—Predicting Freckles in an F1 Generation
Apply your understanding of how alleles assort and combine during reproduction to evaluate a scenario involving a monohybrid cross.
The allele for having freckles (F) is dominant over the allele for not having freckles (f). Some characteristics in people are inherited as simple dominant and recessive traits. One example is freckles. Freckles is a dominant trait, and the lack of freckles is a recessive trait. In this example, a person with freckles is represented as either FF or Ff, and a person with no freckles is represented as ff.
(2 points)
1. Imagine a mother and a father who both have freckles and are heterozygous for the trait, or Ff. They are the P generation, or parent generation. Create a Punnett square to show their offspring, the F1 generation.
