This text explores the concepts of genetics and probability, focusing on how to predict genetic outcomes. It explains that probability represents the likelihood of events occurring, which is crucial in genetics where each outcome is an independent event. It highlights the utility of Punnett Squares, which are charts used to visualize all possible allele combinations resulting from genetic crosses. Understanding these principles helps in predicting traits and understanding inheritance patterns in organisms.

Probability – a number that describes how likely it is that an event will occur. • Genetic outcomes can be predicted based on probability.
Each genetic outcome is an independent event. • Examples - • Punnett Square – a chart that shows all the possiblecombinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross.
