They fell in love and are getting married. They are curious about their genetics and their potential offspring. Help them by solving the following problems: If SpongeGerdys father is a heterozygous squarepants, and her mother is a roundpants, what is SpongeGerdys genotype? Ss Moms genotype Dads genotype ss Ss S s s s ss Ss SpongeBillyBob is heterozygous for his squarepants shape. What is his genotype? Ss SpongeBillyBob Ss ss SS S S s s Possible genotypes (ratio) 1SS:2Ss:1ss Probability of kids with squarepants or 75% 1SS + 2Ss = 3 Probability of kids with roundpants or 25% 1ss SpongeGerdy Bikini Bottom Genetics are great!
