  1. Basic Inheritance Patterns Mr. Kirby

  2. Basic Inheritance Patterns • Genotype • The actual alleles present for a trait • AA, Aa, aa • Phenotype • The outward, physical expression of a trait • Curly hair, blue eyes, hitchhiker’s thumb

  3. Basic Inheritance Patterns • Homozygous • An organism with two of the same alleles for a particular trait • BB—homozygous dominant • bb—homozygous recessive • Heterozygous • An organism with two different alleles for a particular trait • Bb

  4. Pedigrees • A graphic organizer that traces inheritance through several generations • Allows us to predict patterns of inheritance
