Create a gene and a corresponding allele on your whiteboardGene: _____________Allele: ________, _________

Alleles (variations of trait)-Purple, blue, white-curly, straight, wavy-Short, tall

Gene (trait)-Flower Color-Hair type-Plant Height

Phenotype Physical appearance terms ex. Tall, short, brown hair etc.

Genotype Genes in cell, written with letters that

represent the genes (ex: “T” for tall, or “t” for short)

• Punnett Squares: diagram that determines the probable distribution of inherited traits in the offspring.

• UPPERCASE letters are used to represent dominant genes (traits).

• lowercase letters are used to represent recessive genes (traits).

Homozygous: Both alleles are the same. Either both capitols (dominant) or both lower-cased (recessive)Example:

•BB (homozygous dominant) •bb (homozygous recessive)

Heterozygous: Both alleles are different. One capital letter and one lower-cased letter. Example:Bb

1. RR=

2. Ll=

3. Yy

4. Ee

1. A fish is homozygous recessive for fin color

2. A cat is heterozygous for tail length.

3. A turtle is homozygous dominant for shell color.

4. A polar bear is homozygous recessive for claw length.

Sample Problem• T represents the gene for TALL in pea plants• t represents the gene for short in pea plants

So:TT & Tt both result in a TALL plant, because T is dominant over t. t is recessive. What will tt result in?

Remember there are two genes for every trait!

Write the 3 possible genotypes and phenotypes for the following:

Green eyes are dominant to blue eyes

(use the first letter of the dominant trait)

GG=Gg=gg=

Write the 3 possible genotypes and phenotypes for the following:

Curled toes are dominant to straight toes

(use the first letter of the dominant trait)

CC= Cc= Cc=

Let’s cross a homozygous tall plant (TT) with a short plant (tt).Each plant will give only one of its’ two genes to the offspring.

TT x tt

T T t t

T T t t

Each gene (allele) separates from the other so that the offspring get only one gene from each parent for a given trait.

T T t t

TT x t t

Predict the offspring if a tall plant (TT) is crossed (mates) with a short plant (tt)

TT x tt

Tt Tt

Tt t

The genes from one parent go here.

The genes from the other parent go here.

T T

t Tt Tt

t Tt Tt

If a box receives a capital letter and a lower-cased letter we write the capitol letter first
