Answers specific question, not all inclusive
Individual with genotype Aa Bb cc Dd
What is the probability of gamete with abcd ?
p (a) = 1/2 p (b) = 1/2 p (c) = 1 p (d) = 1/2
p (a) and (b) and (c) and (d) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1 * 1/2 = 1/8

What is the probability of offspring with genotype:
Aa BB cc?
p (Aa) = 1/2 p (BB) = 1/4 p (cc) = 1/4
p (Aa) and (BB) and (cc) = 1/2 * 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/32

Mathematical Method
When ratios for all genes are consistent:
Ex. Aa Bb Cc x Aa Bb Cc
# Phenotypes = (2)n 2 = # phenotypes for each gene n = # monohybrid crosses (genes)
Ex. (2)3 = 8
# Genotypes = (3)n 3 = # genotypes for each genen = # monohybrid crosses (genes)
Ex. (3)3 = 27
Calculating Number of Genotypes Possible
# genotypes possible = 3 n
3 = Genotypes possible for each gene - AA, Aa, aa
n = # heterozygous gene pairs
Calculating Number of Gametes Possible
# gametes possible = 2 n
2 = diploid with 2 copies of each gene/chromosome
n = # heterozygous gene pairs
Ex. AaBb : 2 2 = 4 possible (AB, Ab, aB, ab)
Ex. AaBbCc : 2 3 = 8 possible (ABC, ABc, Abc, etc.)
Human chromosomes : 2 23 = > 8 x 10 6

Binomial Expansion: Uses
Predict comprehensive phenotypic ratios ( 9:3:3:1, etc.)
Determine probability of particular categories
Only applicable if:
Ratio for every trait (gene) is the same (ex. AaBb x AaBb - 3:1)
Not applicable if:
Ratios vary (ex. AaBb x Aabb - 3:1 for A-:aa; 1:1 for B-:bb)
14
Binomial Expansion: Generating Comprehensive Ratios
Probabilities: p = dominant phenotype, q = recessive phenotype
N = # genes X = # of dominant (N-X) = # of recessives

Binomial Expansion: Generating Comprehensive Ratios

Binomial Expansion: Generating Comprehensive Ratios
Example for AaBbCcDdEe x AaBbCcDdEe cross
(p+q)5 = p5 + 5 p4q + 10 p3q2 + 10 p2q3 + 5 pq4 + q5
5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 4! 1! (4*3*2*1) * 1
5! = 5* 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 3! 2! (3 *2*1) * (2*1)

Binomial Expansion: Determining Phenotypic Ratios
21
Binomial Expansion: Determining Probability
p = probability of one event (ex. girl)
q = probability of alternative event (ex. boy)
Probability that in N trials, you will get X girls and (N-X) boys
= N! (pX) (q)(N-X) Note: Only use coefficient X! (N-X)! when order is not considered
Example: probability of 2 girls and 4 boys in a family of 6?
6! (1/2)2 (1/2) 4 = 2! 4!

Examples of Applying Binomial
Two brown-eyed parents mate and have a blue-eyed child.
What are the parents genotypes?
Which allele for color is dominant?
If two individuals with the same genotype had four children,what is the probability of them having all blue eyes?
What is the probability of them having two brown and two blue?
What is the probability of the first two being brown and the rest blue?
What is the probability of their fifth child having blue eyes?
In how many different orders could this occur?
