For each correctly conducted genetics problem, you receive 5 points for a maximum 20 points. All Punnett squares must
be shown.
1. There are 3 alleles controlling the ABO blood types. IA and IB are codominant genes so that the combination IAIB
produces the AB blood type. The third allele, (i) is recessive to the other two alleles. Show your work for each cross.
Indicate which of these parents could produce the given child.
The first one is provided with answers as an example.
(HINT: Do not forget that a heterozygous versus a homozygous blood type may yield different results. )

2. The allele for albinism (a) is recessive to the allele for normal pigmentation (A). A normally pigmented woman whose
father is an albino marries an albino man whose parents are normal. They have three children, two normal and one
albino. Give the genotypes for each person listed. Prove your answer.

3. In horses, black coat color is influenced by the dominant allele (B), and chestnut coat color by the recessive allele (b).
a) What color horse would you use to find out the genotype of a black trotter?

b) Give the genotype and phenotype. Show your work and discuss the reason you would know the genotype of the
black horse.

4. In Drosophila, the fruit fly, white eyes are determined by a recessive X­linked gene, and the wild­type or normal brick­
red eyes are due to its dominant allele. Use symbols of the following types: X rY = a white­eyed male; XRXR = a
homozygous normal red female.
a) What offspring can be expected from a cross of a white­eyed male and a homozygous normal female?

b) Show the genotypes and list the phenotypes of the F1 offspring.
