Show phenotype and genotype ratios.

27. **Take Out your Homework!!!
Objective:
To describe Mendel’s 3 laws of inheritance
Complete a Monohybrid cross
**Take Out your Homework!!!

31. 1) Law of Dominance
Each trait is controlled by 2 factors, one factor (dominant ) may mask the other factor (recessive ) preventing it from having an effect. P1 F1 F2

32. w W W w 2) Law of Segregation
Each allele a person has separates into different gametes
Ex. Ww – one W goes in one sperm and the other w goes into another sperm W w
Sperm

33. 3) Law of Independent Assortment
Gene pairs (homologous) will separate randomly into gametes (metaphase I of meiosis)

34. Monohybrid Cross R= Can roll your tongue r= Can’t roll your tongue
Genotype Ratio:
Phenotype Ratio: R r

35. Genotypic vs. Phenotypic Ratios
Phenotype Ratio:
Ratio of different physical traits
Ex) Brown eyes ¼ or 25%
Genotype Ratio:
Ratio of the different possible alleles
Ex) Tt = ¼ or 25%

36. Lets Try a Monohybrid together!
Daffy Duck is heterozygous for black feathers. Daisy Duck is homozygous for yellow feathers. Set up a punnett square and determine probabilities of their potential offspring. (Both genotype and phenotype ratios!)

37. Practice!
Get with a partner and work on the sample problems!

38. DO NOW:
Sleeping Beauty has freckles. Her prince charming is heterozygous for no freckles. What are the chances of her children having freckles? Please show your work.

39. Do Now Being able to roll your tongue is a dominant trait.
1. Write down your phenotype and genotype.
2. Are you positive that’s your genotype?

40. Test cross – an individual with unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual
used to determine the genotype of any individual whose phenotype is dominant

41. Lets Try a Test Cross
Spongebob squarepants doesn’t know whether or not he is Homozygous Dominant or Heterozygous for his yellow color. The recessive trait is a white sponge. Let’s say that we perform a “test cross” on spongebob (spongebob + a white female sponge) and all of the baby sponges are yellow. What would spongebob’s genotype be?

42. Objectives:
To set up and complete a dihybrid cross.

43. What is a dihybrid Cross?
A dihybrid cross allows us to predict possible outcomes of offspring that will have 2 traits simultaneously.
Ex: what would you get if you crossed a Brown-haired brown-eyed male with a blonde-haired blue-eyed female? How many of the children would have brown hair and brown eyes? Brown hair and blue eyes? Blonde hair and brown eyes? Blonde hair and blue eyes?

44. Example

45. Setting up Dihybrid Crosses
1. Determine parent genotypes
2. Determine alleles to be passed down
3. Set up punnet square
4. Determine outcome
Phenotype Ratio
Genotype Ratio

46. More Practice
Mickey Mouse is heterozygous for Round ears and homozygous for Black eyes. Minnie Mouse also is homozygous for Floppy ears and heterozygous for Black eyes. Determine genotype and phenotype ratios. (B=black, b=brown, R=round, r= floppy.)

47. Dihybrid Crosses Looking at two different traits
Ex. Hair color and eye color
B=brown eyes
b=blue eyes
R=Brown hair
r=blonde hair
Mother is heterozygous for both traits
Father is heterozygous for eye color and homozygous dominant for hair color

Red + White = Pink

64. Incomplete Dominance

65. Codominance
Neither trait is dominant instead, both traits are shown (No Blending)
Ex) Roan Cows
Red + White = RED AND WHITE

66. Roan Coat
