  1. KEY CONCEPT The inheritance of traits follows the rules of probability.

  2. Punnett squares illustrate genetic crosses. • The Punnett square is a grid system for predicting all possible genotypes resulting from a cross. • The axes representthe possible gametesof each parent. • The boxes show thepossible genotypesof the offspring. • The Punnett square yields the ratio of possible genotypes and phenotypes.

  3. A monohybrid cross involves one trait. • Monohybrid crosses examine the inheritance of only one specific trait. • homozygous dominant-homozygous recessive: all heterozygous, all dominant

  4. heterozygous-heterozygous—1:2:1 homozygous dominant: heterozygous:homozygous recessive; 3:1 dominant:recessive

  5. heterozygous-homozygous recessive—1:1, 2 out of 4, heterozygous:homozygous recessive;1:1, 2 out of 4, 50% dominant : 50% recessive • A testcross is a cross between an organism with an unknown genotype and an organism with the recessive phenotype.

  6. A testcross is a cross between an organism with an unknown genotype and an organism with the recessive phenotype.

  7. A dihybrid cross involves two traits. • Mendel’s dihybrid crosses with heterozygous plants yielded a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio. • Mendel’s dihybrid crosses led to his second law,the law of independent assortment. • The law of independent assortment states that allele pairs separate independently of each other during meiosis.

  8. Mendel’s Second Law • Law of Independent Assortment states that the presence of one trait does not affect the presence of another trait. The alleles separate and are inherited independently of each other. • For example:seed color and seed shape • Y-yellow y-green R-round r-wrinkled • Possible combinations monohybrid1:2:1 • YR-yellow round dihybrid 9:3:3:1 • Yr-yellow wrinkled • yR-green round • Yr-green wrinkled

  9. Probability = number of ways a specific event can occur number of total possible outcomes Heredity patterns can be calculated with probability. • Probability is the likelihood that something will happen. • Probability predicts an average number of occurrences, not an exact number of occurrences. • Probability applies to random events such as meiosis and fertilization.
