  1. GENETICS & PUNNETT SQUARES

  2. Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk in the 1800s, noticed the following while raising peas in his monastery's garden… • Pea plants of varying sizes • TALL plants • SHORT plants • Pod textures variances • SMOOTH pods • WRINKLED pods • Color variances • PODS of green and yellow • FLOWERS of white and purple

  3. Mendel set out to understand how these traits were handed down to off-spring plants through controlling the pollination between plants… • Doing so allowed for his discovery of many important GENETIC RULES • How something or someone looks does not always match what their genetic code might suggest! • Genotype – Actual genetic makeup • Phenotype – What they/it looks like • Traits that frequently show up – Dominant • Traits that show up less – Recessive • Combinations - Hybrids

  4. Predictions using PUNNETT SQUARES • Each gene has two chances at a trait • Two Copies • Two Alleles • A HYBRID could carry an allele for a recessive trait even if you cannot see it • EXAMPLE: A TALL plant, tall dominant parent, could have a recessive allele (short) • This is the difference between • GENOTYPE (Actual GENETIC MAKEUP) • & • PHENOTYPE (How It Appears)

  5. PUNNETT SQUARES These are the 2 alleles of each parent plant crossed with one another and showing the 4 possible offspring. TT – Dominant Tall, tt – Recessive Short, Tt – Mixed Hybrid T T T t T T t t TT – Dominant Tall (Geno T, Pheno T) Tt – Mixed Hybrid (Geno H, Pheno T) tt – Recessive Short (Geno S, Pheno S) T T T t • ____ • ____ • ____ • ____ • ____ • ____ • ____ • ____ T t t t • ____ • ____ • ____ • ____ • ____ • ____ • ____ • ____
