DSJ #20 Science Notebook – Page 42B Prompt: In 5 sentences or more, describe situations in which you have or might use a coin toss to decide an issue. Why would a coin toss be ideal in these situations?
Learning Objective • Students will know what Punnett square is and how it’s used in genetics.
Principles of Probability 1. A number that describes how likely it is that a certain event will occur is called probability. 2. Example: What is the probability that a tossed coin will land on heads? On tails?
Principles of Probability 3. & 4. The laws of probability predict what is likely to occur, not necessarily what will occur.
One way you can express a probability is as a percentage. A percentage (%) is a number compared to 100. For example, 50% means 50 out of 100. Suppose that 3 out of 5 tossed coins landed with heads up. Here’s how you can calculate what percent of the coins landed with heads up. Write the comparison as a fraction. 3 out of 5 = 3/5 2. Multiply the fraction by 100% to express it as a percentage. 3/5 x 100%/1 = 60% Principles of Probability:Percentages
Practice Problem Suppose 3 out of 12 coins landed with tails up. How can you express this as a percent? 25% Principles of Probability:Percentages
Probability and Genetics 5. Whenever Mendel crossed two hybrid plants for stem height (Tt), his results were the following: (Write the answer as a fraction and as a percent) Tt Tt
Probability and Genetics 6. Mendel realized that the principles of probability could be used to predict the results of genetic crosses.
Probability and Genetics 7. A chart that shows all possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross is called a Punnett square. Punnett Square
Probability and Genetics:A Punnett Square The diagrams show how to make a Punnett square.
Probability and Genetics 8. In a genetic cross, the allele that each parent will pass on to its offspring is based on probability.

Glue in SNB **Please remember to use only TWO drops of glue!!** If everyone uses only TWO drops, a lot of glue is saved over time…. • 41A – Probability and Genetics (Notes) • 42A – PunnettSquares Practice
DSR #20 • Science Notebook – Page 42B (Under DSJ #20) • Prompt: What is probability? What did Mendel find useful with the principles of probability? What is the chart that is used in genetics and what does it show geneticists?
