<strong>Lab</strong> 14: Mendelian Genecs<br />
Attention! Do not pour the beakers together.<br />
• #1 contains beads that are either yellow or blue.<br />
• #2 contains beads that are either green or red.<br />
• Both contain approximately the same number of each colored bead.<br />
• These colors correspond to the following traits (remember that Y/y is for kernel<br />
color and S/s is for smooth/wrinkled):<br />
• Yellow (Y) vs. Blue (y) Green (S) vs. Red (s).<br />
A. Monohybrid Cross: Randomly (without looking) take 2 beads out of #1.<br />
• This is the genotype of individual #1, record this informaon. Do not put these<br />
beads back into the beaker.<br />
• Repeat this for individual #2. These two genotypes are your parents for the next<br />
generaon. Set up a Punne square and determine the genotypes and phenotypes<br />
for this cross.<br />
• Repeat this process 4 mes (5 total). Put the beads back in their respecve beakers<br />
when finished.<br />
a) How much genotypic variaon do you find in the randomly picked parents of your<br />
crosses?<br />
b) How much in the offspring?<br />
c) How much phenotypic variaon?<br />
d) Is the rao of observed phenotypes the same as the rao of predicted phenotypes?<br />
Why or why not?<br />
e) Pool all of the offspring from your 5 replicates. How much phenotypic variaon do<br />
