Animal Genetics:Dominant vs. Recessive Traits Intro to Agriculture Science
GOALS: • Explain the difference between dominant and recessive genes. • Use a Punnett Square to predict genotypic and phenotypic ratios of offspring.
What do we already know? review…
Phenotype • Appearance! • Result of Genotype Example: Bw = Black Coat Because B is dominant
Genotype • The genetic makeup! • Alleles from parents • What you can’t see Example: Alleles that code for good milk production.
Alleles • A pair of genes • That code for the same trait Example: Hair Color Eye Color Height
What do we need to know? vocabulary…
Dominant Genes • Determine what the offspring will look like! • Expressed as capital letters • Mask recessive genes. Example: B=Black w=White Dominant Allele = B
Recessive Genes • Sometimes determine what the offspring will look like. • Expressed as lowercase letters Example: B=Black w=White Recessive allele = w
What is it called when both allelesare the same? • Homozygous
Example AA or aa
Identify... Dominant & Recessive ? ? AA or aa
Homozygous Dominant Homozygous Recessive AA or aa
What is it called when both allelesare different? • Heterozygous
Example Aa
Lets Get to It! Punnett Squares Punnett Squares GeneticCrosses GeneticCrosses Monohybrid Crosses Monohybrid Crosses
What the heck are they? • Punnett squares are genetic crosses used by biologists to predict the probability that certain traits will be inherited by offspring.
What do they look like? • Punnett Square:
MONOHYBRID CROSS • A Punnett Square • Using one pair of contrasting traits • Ex: hair color
Example #1: • Homozygous vs. Homozygous
Example #1: • A White Sow (ww) crossed with • A Black Boar (BB)
(ww) Homozygous vs. Homozygous w w B Bw Bw (BB) B Bw Bw
Example #2: • Homozygous vs. Heterozygous
Example #2: • A White Sow (ww) crossed with • A Black Boar (Bw)
(ww) Homozygous vs. Heterozygous w w B Bw Bw (Bw) w ww ww
Example #3: • Heterozygous vs. Heterozygous
(Bw) Heterozygous vs. Heterozygous B w B BB Bw (Bw) w Bw ww
