Deducing genotypes IB Biology Jin Young Huh
Pedigree Charts • Shows all the known phenotypes • Used to deduce whether a character is • caused by a dominant or recessive allele • sex linked • Deduce genotype of individuals
Pedigree Chart Taste blindness
Pedigree Chart • A family pedigree for an X-linked recessive disease • ex) red-green colour blindness • No male to male disease transmission
Test Cross • In a test cross an individual that might be heterozygous is crossed with an individual that is homozygous recessive.
