Genetics Problems: Punnett Squares
Remember, Genotype: genetic composition of an organism, the actual alleles of each gene Phenotype: expression of the gene as a physical characteristic Dominant: If dominant allele is present, it is always expressed Recessive: Allele only expressed when homozygous recessive
Punnett Squares: Step by
Step 1. Determine the genotype of the parents 2. Write down the cross 3. Draw the Punnett square 4. Split the parents genotypes into gametes on
the outside of the Punnett square
5. Determine genotypes of offspring 6. Summarize results (genotypes and phenotypes)
Punnett Squares: Step by
Step 1. Determine the genotypes of the parents from the question In humans, brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes. What type of offspring would you expect if you crossed a heterozygous brown-eyed person to a heterozygous brown eyed-person?
B = brown eyes (dominant)
b = blue eyes (recessive)

B = brown eyes (dominant)
b = blue eyes (recessive)
Parent 1 (Mom) = Bb = Bb
Parent 2 (Dad)

Step 2. Write down the cross In humans, brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes. What type of offspring would you expect if you crossed a heterozygous brown-eyed person to a heterozygous browneyed person?
Cross: Bb x Bb
Punnett Squares: Step by
Step 3. Draw the Punnett Square Cross: Bb x Bb
Punnett Squares: Step by
Step 4. Split the parents genotypes into gametes and put them on the outside of the Punnett square Cross: Bb x Bb
Punnett Squares: Step by
Step 5. Determine the genotypes of the offspring by filling in the Punnett Square Cross: Bb x Bb

Step 5. Summarize results (genotype and phenotype) In humans, brown eyes are dominant Cross: Bb x Bb
over blue eyes. What type of
offspring would you expect if you crossed a heterozygous brown eyed person to a heterozygous brown eyed person?
Punnett Squares: Step by
Step 5. Summarize results (genotype and phenotype) In humans, brown eyes are dominant Cross: Bb x Bb
over blue eyes. What type of
offspring would you expect if you crossed a heterozygous brown eyed person to a heterozygous brown eyed person? The genotypes of the offspring included: 1 homozygous dominant (BB), 2 heterozygous (Bb), and 1 homozygous dominant (bb). You would expect the phenotypes of the offspring to be 3 with brown one with blue eyes.
