Before we begin,let’s get a few terms straight…
Phenotype: The PHysical APPEARANCE of an inherited trait. What you SEE.
Hint: look for descriptions (adjectives) or pictures.Examples: blue eyes, black hair, tall, short, hairy, smooth…
Genotype: Describes the 2 alleles you have for a gene. Your genetic make-up.
Hint: look for 2 letters together (eg. AA, aa, or Aa) or the words “homozygous” or “heterozygous”
Practice: Genotype or Phenotype?(write G.T. or P.T. on whiteboard)
RR Genotype!(specifically, a homozygous dominant genotype!)
DOMINANT: A version of the gene that is ALWAYS shown if even one allele is present. Bossy, pushy, insists on being written 1st in a genotype… Hint: look for a CAPITAL LETTER if given.Remember: Dominant traits don’t surprise you- one of the parents MUST have shown the dominant phenotype if they had a dominant allele to pass on.
recessive: A version of the gene that’s totally HIDDEN if any dominant alleles are present. Hints: Look for a lower case letter if given. The ONLY way to LOOK recessive is to have NO dominant allele.Remember: If traits that seem to “pop up” or “skip a generation” because they weren’t seen in the parents, but appear in offspring, the “surprise” trait is recessive AND the parents were both heterozygous!
Practice: Dominant/Recessive(write D or R on whiteboard)
f
recessive(represented by a lower case letter)
Practice: Dominant/Recessive(write D or R on whiteboard)If a dove who is heterozygous for beak
color has an orange beak, are orange beaks DOMINANT or RECESSIVE?
Practice: Dominant/Recessive(write D or R on whiteboard)
If a dove who is heterozygous for beak color has an orange beak, are orange beaks DOMINANT or RECESSIVE?
DOMINANT (Heterozygous will always show
the dominant phenotype)
PLEASE PUT AWAY YOUR WHITEBOARD
AND MARKER !
(done with whiteboards, that is-the rest will be done on paper).
Genotypes: 3 options…- HOMOzygous Dominant (like AA):
“homo”= same (both alleles are dominant)*Phenotype will show DOMINANT
- HOMOzygous Recessive (like aa): “homo”= same (both alleles are recessive)
*only way to see a RECESSIVE phenotype.- HETEROzygous (like Aa): “hetero”= mixed
A mixture of 1 dominant & 1 recessive.*Phenotype will show DOMINANT
Other common terms seen in genetics problems….- True-breeding: Means homozygous.
(Describes a parent which has consistently similar offspring).
- Purebred: Means homozygous.- Carrier: Means heterozygous.
(They appear dominant, but also “carry” that sneaky, undetectable recessive allele which may be passed on to the next generation).
Test CrossIf something SHOWS a dominant phenotype,
you can’t be sure if they are AA or Aa.You can do a “test cross” by breeding it with
one that is homozygous recessive (aa).If the dominant parent was Aa, some of the
offspring will look recessive.If AA, none of the offspring will be recessive.
Practice decoding genetics problems…
“A red flower that is heterozygous is crossed with a white flower plant.”
a. Pick any letter of the alphabet & tell me the genotype (alleles) of the red plant: ____
Practice decoding genetics problems…
“A red flower that is heterozygous is crossed with a white flower plant.”
a. Pick any letter of the alphabet & tell me the genotype (alleles) of the red plant: _Rr_
(whatever letter you chose is fine, but it is HETEROZYGOUS, so you need a capital & a lower case of SAME LETTER)
Practice decoding genetics problems…
“A red flower that is heterozygous is crossed with a white flower plant.”
a. Pick any letter of the alphabet & tell me the genotype (alleles) of the red plant: _Rr_ *(any letter is fine)
b. What is the genotype of the white plant?: ______How can you know?

a. Pick any letter of the alphabet & tell me the genotype (alleles) of the red plant: _Rr_ *(any letter is fine)
b. What is the genotype of the white plant?: __rr__ (homozygous rec.)How can you know?
It doesn’t show the dominant trait (red)

STEPS for solving genetics problems…#1: Read the question CAREFULLY!#2: Decide which phenotype is dominant, & which
is recessive (see hints in definitions above!).
#3: Make a key (like H= hairy, h= no hair),be sure to use only 1 letter of the alphabet per trait.
#4: Decide & write out what the genotypes of all the individuals involved are, if possible.(see hints in definitions above!)
#5: Do a PUNNETT SQUARE if needed.#6: READ question AGAIN- Does the answer make sense?
PUNNETT SQUARES: why?
- If you know the exact genotype of two parents, you can predict the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring!
- Punnett squares can show the probability (likelihood) of an offspring’s genotype.
PUNNETT SQUARES: how to- Draw a Punnett Square frame.- Write the 2 alleles
of 1 parent on the side of the square.
- Write the 2 alleles of the other parent on the top of the square.

PUNNETT SQUARES: Are used to determine Probability- The 2 letters in each box represent a possible
genotype of an offspring.
- To figure out the chances (probability) of a certain genotype being produced by a cross,1. Do the Punnett Square2. Count how many boxes show each genotype or
phenotype3. Divide that number by 4 (for monohybrid crosses)
- Probability can also be shown as a ratio (like “3 to 1” or 3:1)
PUNNETT SQUARES: Are used to determine Probability
which can be shown as a fraction, %, or ratio.
There are 4 boxes in a basic Punnett Square.
each box is ¼, or 25%
¼ =_______% 2/4 = _____%
¾ = ______ % 4/4= ______%
Fill in the Punnett Square to answer the questions.

1. What percent of offspring is expected to be heterozygous?
________%
2. What percent of offspring is expected to show the dominant phenotype?
