When gametes are formed, the When gametes are formed, the alleles of one gene segregate alleles of one gene segregate independently of the alleles of independently of the alleles of another geneanother gene producing equal producing equal proportions of all possible gamete proportions of all possible gamete types. types.

Using Probability in Genetic Using Probability in Genetic AnalysisAnalysis

1. Probability (P) of an event (E) occurring:1. Probability (P) of an event (E) occurring:

P(E) = P(E) = Number of ways that event E can occurNumber of ways that event E can occur

Total number of possible outcomesTotal number of possible outcomes


2. 2. Addition RuleAddition Rule of Probability – used in an of Probability – used in an “either/or”“either/or” situation situation

P(EP(E11 or E or E22) = P(E) = P(E11) + P(E) + P(E22))


3. Multiplication3. Multiplication Rule Rule of Probability – used in an of Probability – used in an “and”“and” situation situation

P(EP(E11 and E and E22) = P(E) = P(E11) X P(E) X P(E22))
