Bb ________________________)  \nThe Five (5) Steps Associated With Solving a Genetics Problem:  \nIf you take the time to follow the directions below, you will be able to solve most genetics problems.  \n1. Determine the genotypes of the parents or whatever is given in problem.  \n2. Set up your Punnett square as follows: *\\# sq. based on possible gametes that can be formed.  \nOther  possible  parental  gametes  \nossible  parental gametess  \n3. Fill in the squares. This represents the possible combinations that could occur during fertilization.  \n4. Write out the possible genotypic ratio of the offspring.  \n5. Using the genotypic ratio determine the phenotypic ratio for the offspring.  \n.  \nPart 2: Sample Problem (Just read this over, it is a practice problem)  \nA heterozygous male, black eyed mouse is crossed with a red eyed, female mouse. Predict the possible offspring!  \nStep 1: Determine the genotype of the parents. The male parent is heterozygous which means he has one allele for black eyes and one allele for red eyes. Since his eyes are black, this means that black allele must be dominant over the red allele. So the male parents genotype is “Bb”(B = allele for black eye, b = allele for red eye) .  \nThe female parent has red eyes, there is only one way to have this recessive phenotype, so she must to be homozygous recessive. Homozygous recessive means that her genotype must be“bb”. Therefore, genotype of the parents is Bb x bb.  \nStep 2:  \nDuring meiosis (the formation of sex cells) one member (allele) of each gene pair separate. The male mouse (Bb) produces some sperm containing “B”(the allele for black eye) and some sperm containing“b”(the allele for red eyes) .  \nOn one axis of the Punnett square you put the two possible gametes for the male.  \nPossible  \nSperm  \nPossible Eggs  \nRepeat this for the other axis for the possible female gametes. Since she is “bb” you must put “b”and “b”.  \nStep 3:  \nDuring fertilization sperm meets the egg. The Punnett square show us the various possibilities during fertilization. The offspring must be one of these genotypes listed in the squares.  \nIf the  sperm contains a “B” andit fertilizesan  eggcontaining  the“b” allele,  the  resultant  offspring  will  have  the genotype“Bb”.  \nRepeating the process we can see all of the possible genotypes.  \nStep 4:  \nThe genotypic ratio is determined by counting each possible genotype. You’ll note there are two  \n“Bb” for every two “bb”. Therefore, we write the ratio as 2 : 2  \nBb : bb  \nNormally we reduce to the lowest terms: 1 : 1  \nBb : bb  \nStep 5:  \nThe Bb will produce a black eyed mouse (phenotype) and the bb will produce a red eyed mouse  \n(phenotype) . The phenotypic ratio is written as 1 : 1  \nblack eye : red eye  \nRatios tell you there is an even chance of having offspring with black eyes as there is for having offspring with red eyes. That would be the same as a 50% probability of having red eyes, or a 50% probability of having black eyes.  \n. **On the following pages are several problems. With each new problem, one sample is illustrated, make sure you look over the sample. In your spiral notebook you must copy the first problem from each section along with its solution.
