alleles a gene SIMULATION CLASSZONE.COM Try a virtual version of Mendel’s experiment. 4.1 Living things inherit traits in patterns. Offspring inherit alleles, which are forms of genes, from their parents. Alleles come on chromosome pairs and can be dominant or recessive. sexual reproduction gene heredity allele The alleles you have are your genotype; the observable characteristics that come from your genotype are your phenotype. phenotype genotype dominant recessive CHAPTER RESOURCES SECTION OUTLINE

Punnett square Ratios and percentages can be used with Punnett squares to express the probability of particular outcomes. ratio probability percentage B = black fur b = brown fur CHAPTER RESOURCES SECTION OUTLINE
Meiosis I Meiosis II 1n 1n 1n 1n 4.3 Meiosis is a special form of cell division. • At the beginning of meiosis I, the parent cell has two copies of each chromosome pair. gamete • During meiosis I, the homologs of the chromosome pair separate; there are two cells, each with two copies of one homolog from each pair. egg sperm • During meiosis II, the two copies of each homolog separate; each daughter cell has one homolog. fertilization meiosis CHAPTER RESOURCES SECTION OUTLINE
