Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with red eyes to offspring with brown eyes? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with red eyes or brown eyes, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the eye color trait. The question tells you that the e allele, which is for red eyes, is recessive to the E allele, which is for brown eyes.
Red eyes is the recessive allele's version of the eye color trait. A guinea pig with the recessive version of the eye color trait must have only recessive alleles for the eye color gene. So, offspring with red eyes must have the genotype ee.
All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype ee.
Brown eyes is the dominant allele's version of the eye color trait. A guinea pig with the dominant version of the eye color trait must have at least one dominant allele for the eye color gene. So, offspring with brown eyes must have the genotype EE or Ee.
There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype EE or Ee.
So, the expected ratio of offspring with red eyes to offspring with brown eyes is 4:0. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will always produce offspring with red eyes. This cross is expected to never produce offspring with brown eyes.

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with a hairless body to offspring with a hairy body? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with a hairless body or a hairy body, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the body hair trait. The question tells you that the b allele, which is for a hairless body, is recessive to the B allele, which is for a hairy body.
A hairless body is the recessive allele's version of the body hair trait. A deer mouse with the recessive version of the body hair trait must have only recessive alleles for the body hair gene. So, offspring with a hairless body must have the genotype bb.
There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype bb. These boxes are highlighted below.
A hairy body is the dominant allele's version of the body hair trait. A deer mouse with the dominant version of the body hair trait must have at least one dominant allele for the body hair gene. So, offspring with a hairy body must have the genotype BB or Bb.
There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype BB or Bb. These boxes are highlighted below.
So, the expected ratio of offspring with a hairless body to offspring with a hairy body is 2:2. This means that, on average, this cross will produce 2 offspring with a hairless body for every 2 offspring with a hairy body.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on the information shown in the maps above, what was true about the New England Colonies compared to the other colonies?
Solution: Look at what the two maps show about New England.
In the first map, most of New England is marked as having the least fertile soil. Fertile soil is good for growing crops. So, least fertile means that the soil in New England was the worst for growing crops, compared to the soil in the other colonies.
The second map shows that the growing season in most of New England was 3-5 months long, and in some parts it was 5-7 months long. The growing season was shorter in New England compared to the other colonies. A shorter growing season makes it harder to grow crops.
Because New England had the least fertile soil and the shortest growing season, it was harder to grow crops in New England than in the Southern and Middle Colonies.

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with a spotted tail to offspring with an unspotted tail? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with a spotted tail or an unspotted tail, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the tail spots trait. The question tells you that the I allele, which is for a spotted tail, is dominant over the i allele, which is for an unspotted tail.
A spotted tail is the dominant allele's version of the tail spots trait. A guppy with the dominant version of the tail spots trait must have at least one dominant allele for the tail spots gene. So, offspring with a spotted tail must have the genotype II or Ii.
All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype II or Ii.
An unspotted tail is the recessive allele's version of the tail spots trait. A guppy with the recessive version of the tail spots trait must have only recessive alleles for the tail spots gene. So, offspring with an unspotted tail must have the genotype ii.
There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype ii.
So, the expected ratio of offspring with a spotted tail to offspring with an unspotted tail is 4:0. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will always produce offspring with a spotted tail. This cross is expected to never produce offspring with an unspotted tail.
