You confirmed the above in steps 1 through 3, in which you changed the of the
parents and predicted the fur color, or , of the offspring.
In steps 4 and 5, you reversed the process. You were shown the parents and offspring above. You did a to identify the genotypes of the parents
In general, did the simulated mice align with your predictions from the Punnett squares? ✔ YesNo
Error Analysis: What might be the reason that some of your percentages didn’t exactly match your predicted results?
If you did the experiment again, how could you improve upon the experimental design? Check all that apply.
If you crossed two mice with white fur, what distribution of fur color would you expect in the offspring?
Justify your answer by filling in the blanks. Both parents have white fur. OneThe most likely✔ The only
In the cross Bb x Bb (two heterozygous mice), what percentage of the offspring would you predict to have the same phenotype as the parents?
Next, you perform a cross with a mouse with black fur and a mouse with white fur. Which result(s) for the offspring would confirm that the mouse with black fur was heterozygous?
There are genes that govern the eye color of mice, too. Suppose that a true-breeding mouse with red eyes is crossed with a true-breeding mouse with black eyes. All of the offspring mice have black eyes. What can you conclude? The allele for red eyes is dominant.✔ The allele for black eyes is dominant.Neither. You need more data.
To do so, you would do a ✔ test crosssimulationPunnett square. Breed
them and look for approximately a ratio of black eyes to red eyes.
Your prediction is that of the offspring would have the dominant phenotype, and of the offspring would have the recessive phenotype.
