Question 7

A Punnett square showing the cross between two dragons is shown.

In dragons, the smooth-shell egg allele (R) is dominant over the rough-shell egg allele (r).

(Remember, an allele is a version of a gene - ex: if eye color is the gene, blue eyes is one possible allele)

Select the punnett square that is filled in accurately.

Question 19

Two parent dragons with wings can produce a child without wings.

Which of the following best explains how this is possible?

(Suggestion: Use punnett squares to cross different types of parents and gather evidence to support your answer!)

Accepted Answer

The parents pass down a recessive allele, giving the child the recessive version of a trait.

Answer

Parent dragons must always have wings to have children.

Answer

The parents wanted a baby without wings.

Answer

Over many generations, some characteristics just randomly show up

Question 20

Brown eyes (B) are dominant to blue eyes (b) in dragons.

Smaug is Homozygous Dominant for brown eyes.

He wants to have a child with blue eyes one day.

Are biological blue eyed children a possibility for Smaug? If so, what should his partner's genotype be for eye color?

Accepted Answer

No, he cannot have blue eyed children because he does not have a recessive allele to pass down.

Answer

Yes, he can have blue eyed children; his partner's genotype should be homozygous recessive.

Answer

Yes, he can have blue eyed children; his partner's genotype should be heterozygous.

Answer

Yes, he can have blue eyed children; his partner's genotype should be homozygous dominant.

Answer

No, he cannot have blue eyed children because he does not have a dominant allele to pass down.
