  1. Probability and Punnett Squares Probability is a way of expressing knowledge or belief that an event will occur or has occurred. The likely hood of cross will produce a particular type of offspring

  2. Probability • Percentage- way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100 • Ratio- expression that compares quantities relative to each other • What is the % of heterozygous offspring? • What is the ratio of heterozygous to purple flowers?

  3. Co-Dominance • With codominance, a cross between organisms with two different phenotypes produces offspring with a third phenotype in which both of the parental traits appear together. 

  4. Incomplete Dominance • With incomplete dominance, a cross between organisms with two different phenotypes produces offspring with a third phenotype that is a blending of the parental traits. 

  5. Sex linked • Sex linked genes is the phenotypic expression of an allele that is related to the chromosomal sex of the individual. This mode of inheritance is in contrast to the inheritance of traits on autosomal chromosomes, where both sexes have the same probability of expressing the trait. Since, in humans, there are many more genes on the X than there are on the Y, there are many more X-linked traits than there are Y-linked traits.

  6. Multiple alleles • Although any individual has at most two different alleles, most genes exist in a large number of allelic forms in the population as a whole. In some cases, the alleles have different effects on the phenotype, and their dominance interactions with each other can be described as a series.

  7. Blood System • For example, the best known human blood groups, the ABO system, comprises three sets of alleles at the I locus, IA, IB, and IO. The first two are dominant to the latter: that is, the AA and AO genotypes produce indistinguishable blood group phenotypes, called “Type A”, as do BB and BO, which produce “Type B” blood.

  8. Pedigree Charts • The following of a particular trait through a families history.

  9. Carriers can be signified as a half shaded in shape.

  10. Sex linked traits can be determined by studying the pedigree chart.

  11. Dominant vs Recessive traits
