Unit3:GeneticsCalculatingtheprobabilityofourgenetics

Leading questions:

1. What do Punnett Squares mean?

2. How do we calculate the probabilities of our traits?

3. What traits will pass down and by how much?

Unit3:GeneticsCalculatingtheprobabilityofourgenetics

Do you remember these?

Unit3:GeneticsCalculatingtheprobabilityofourgenetics

What do the y and Y represent and where are they from?

Unit3:GeneticsCalculatingtheprobabilityofourgenetics

Recall from meiosis

• A pair of homologous chromosomes (chromosomes of similar traits) are crossed over and separated.

• The gene that results in the sex cells are the “letters” from Punnett Squares.

Unit3:GeneticsCalculatingtheprobabilityofourgenetics

What does that mean?If the red chromosome containsthe genes for Brown eyes (B).

If yellow contains genes for Blueeyes (b)

After crossing over, the genesswitch chromosomes with theother.

Sisterchromatids

Unit3:GeneticsCalculatingtheprobabilityofourgenetics

What does that mean?• At the end of

meiosis, all 4 ofthese sisterchromatids willseparate (segregate) into 4 sex cells.

• Because theprobability of gettingB and b is the same, that is why we useBb!

When the genes ofthe homologouschromosomesseparate into separatesex cells, Mendelclassified this as the“Law of Segregation”.

Otherimportantterms• Alleles - Alternativeformsofageneforagiventrait(Bluevsbrowneyes)

• Genotype – theallelespossessedbyanindividualforaspecifictrait.

• 2copiesofdominantallele=homozygousdominantgenotype(BB).

• 2copiesofrecessiveallele=homozygousrecessivegenotype (bb).

• 1copyofeach=heterozygous genotype(Bb).

Unit3:GeneticsCalculatingtheprobabilityofourgenetics

• Phenotype – thephysicalappearanceofatrait(ie:whatthegenesactually“do”tous).
