  1. Notes: Probability and Heredity Read pgs. 162-167. Objective: Be able to perform a simple Punnett square.

  2. Genetics • Heredity: the passing of traits/characteristics from parents to offspring. • Genes: the part of the DNA that controls a certain trait or characteristic. Hair color, eye color, freckles, etc.

  3. Alleles • The different forms of a gene, represented by capital and lower case letters. • TT, Tt, tt.

  4. Traits • Dominant Trait: Capital Letter. A trait that always shows up in an organism when it is present. • Recessive Trait: Lower-case Letter. A trait that only shows up in an organism when a dominant trait is not present. Video: Testcross

  5. Dominant and Recessive T=Tall t=Short H=no hair h=hair F=Fan f=non fan

  6. Genotype • Genotype: An organism’s genetic makeup or allele combinations, TT, Tt, tt. • These are the actual genes in your DNA.

  7. Phenotype • Phenotype: an organisms physical appearance or visible traits, tall or short. • This is what you look like or what you see.

  8. Genotype vs. Phenotype

  9. Homozygous • Homozygous/Purebred: When an organism has two identical alleles for a trait, TT or tt.

  10. Heterozygous • Heterozygous/Hybrid: when and organism has different alleles for the same trait, Tt. Donkey Video: Zygous Mule Horse

  11. Codominance • Codominance is when alleles are neither dominant nor recessive, but both are expressed. • This helps to explain mixed traits such as a black chicken and a white chicken mating and their offspring are black and white. Video: Codominance

  12. Punnett Square • Punnett Square: A chart that shows all of the possible combinations of alleles from a genetic cross. Video: Punnett Squares

  13. Probability • Probability is a number that describes how likely it is that a certain event will occur. • When flipping a coin, the probability of it landing on heads is 50% and tails is 50%.

  14. Probability • In a Punnett square, each box represents a 25% chance of the offspring receiving that genotype. • Each box represents a 25% chance and there are 4 boxes. 4X25%=100%.

  15. Punnett Square Cross a homozygous tongue roller with a heterozygous tongue roller. Dominant Allele= Recessive Allele= Genotype for homozygous tongue roller= Genotype for heterozygous tongue roller= Genotype outcomes= Phenotype outcomes=

  16. Punnett Square Cross a homozygous tongue roller with a homozygous non-tongue roller. Dominant Allele= Recessive Allele= Genotype for homozygous tongue roller= Genotype for homozygous non-tongue roller= Genotype outcomes= Phenotype outcomes=

  17. Punnett Square Cross a heterozygous tongue roller with a heterozygous tongue roller. Dominant Allele= Recessive Allele= Genotype for heterozygous tongue roller= Genotype for heterozygous tongue roller= Genotype outcomes= Phenotype outcomes=
