Punnett Squares
A Punnett square illustrates how the A Punnett square illustrates how the parents’ alleles might combine in offspring. parents’ alleles might combine in offspring.
The top of the Punnett Square are one of the The top of the Punnett Square are one of the parent’s alleles, the side of the Punnett parent’s alleles, the side of the Punnett square shows the other parent’s alleles for square shows the other parent’s alleles for the trait the trait
HeterozygousHeterozygous: having dissimilar pairs of : having dissimilar pairs of alleles for any hereditary characteristic (Rr)alleles for any hereditary characteristic (Rr)
HomozygousHomozygous: having identical pairs of : having identical pairs of alleles for any given pair of heredity alleles for any given pair of heredity characteristics (RR, rr) characteristics (RR, rr)
Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance1. Law of Dominance: In heterozygous genotypes,
dominant alleles hide recessive alleles when both are inherited by an organism. (Hh means the dominant trait will show up in the phenotype)
Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance
1. The Law of Segregation (separation): Each organism has 2 alleles for a gene. Only one allele from each gene pair will be passed on to the offspring.
