10. { Probability and Punnett Squares

11.  The likelihood that a specific event will occur  If you flip a coin 100 times, you should get about 50 heads, 50 tails  http://www.betweenwaters.com/probab/flip/coinmainD.html http://www.betweenwaters.com/probab/flip/coinmainD.html Probability

12.  Fertilization: endless possibilities depending on which sperm fertilizes the egg  Figuring out the probability of specific traits can be HARD! But one tool makes it easier… Probability in Genetics

13.  The value of studying genetics is in understanding how we can predict the likelihood of inheriting particular traits. This can help plant and animal breeders in developing varieties that have more desirable qualities. It can also help people explain and predict patterns of inheritance in family lines.  One of the easiest ways to calculate the mathematical probability of inheriting a specific trait was invented by an early 20th century English geneticist named Reginald Punnett Read Only

14. PUNNETT SQUARES  charts showing the possible combinations of alleles in a cross  show the probability of getting a certain type of offspring

15. Example with flies:

16. Monohybrid Cross: a cross that involves only one trait Phenotypes:Genotypes:

17. Each square shows the chance of getting a baby with that genotype If there are 4 squares, what percent is each square worth?

18. THE PARENTS GENOTYPES  DAD = Tt (heterozygous)  MOM = Tt (heterozygous) PHENOTYPES  DAD = Tall  MOM = Tall

19. One parent’s genes go across the top (one per box) The other parent’s genes go down the side (one per box)

20. Each letter goes into each box below it Each letter goes into each box next to it

21. Now we can predict the possibility that the parents will have a baby with that kind of phenotype

22. What is the possibility (%) that the parents will have a tall baby? TT = tall 25% Tt = tall 50% So 75% chance

23. What is the possibility that the parents will have a short baby? tt = short 25% So 25% chance

24. THE OFFSPRING  TT (homozygous dominant)  Tt (heterozygous)  tt (homozygous recessive) GENOTYPES 1TT:2Tt:1tt (1:2:1)—ratio 25% TT, 50% Tt, 25% tt

25. THE OFFSPRING  TT (tall)  Tt (tall)  tt (short) PHENOTYPES 3 Tall :1 Short (3:1) 75% Tall, 25% Short
