Genetics & Probability
![Page 10: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Genetics & Probability
The likelihood that a particular event will occur is called Probability.
The principles of probability can be used to predict the outcomes of genetic crosses.
![Page 11: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Genetics & Probability
Probabilities predict the average outcome of a large number of events.
Probability cannot predict the precise outcome of an individual event.
In genetics, the larger the number of offspring, the closer the resulting numbers will get to expected values.
![Page 12: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
POP Quiz!
1. Probability can be used to predict
A. average outcome of many events.

That is Incorrect!
Please go back and choose the correct answer.
Think About This: If I say it will “probably” rain, does that guarantee rain? Probability cannot predict the precise outcome of an individual event.

Punnett Squares
![Page 19: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Punnett Squares
The gene combinations that might result from a genetic cross can be determined by drawing a diagram known as a Punnett Square.
Punnett Squares can be used to predict and compare the genetic variations that will result from a cross
![Page 20: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Punnett Squares
Named for Reginald Punnett (British geneticist)
Used to help solve genetics problems
Visual representation of all probable results of a genetic cross
![Page 21: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

GOOD JOB! Geneticists use probability to predict the
phenotypes and genotypes that MAY result from a genetic cross
![Page 24: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Dominant & Recessive
A capital letter represents the Dominant allele for tall.
A lowercase letter represents the recessive allele for short.
In this example, T = tall
t = short
![Page 25: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Homozygous vs. Heterozygous Organisms that have two identical alleles
for a particular trait are said to be homozygous.
Organisms that have two different alleles for the same trait are heterozygous.
Homozygous organisms are true-breeding or purebred for a particular trait.
Heterozygous organisms are hybrid for a particular trait.
![Page 26: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Genotypes & Phenotypes
All of the tall plants have the same phenotype, or physical characteristics.
The tall plants do not have the same genotype, or genetic makeup.
One third of the tall plants are TT, while two thirds of the tall plants are Tt
![Page 27: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Genotypes & Phenotypes
The plants have different genotypes (TT and Tt), but they have the same phenotype (tall).
![Page 28: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Genotypic & Phenotypic Ratios One fourth (1/4) of the
F2 plants have two alleles for tallness (TT).
2/4 or 1/2 have one allele for tall (T), and one for short (t).
One fourth (1/4) of the F2 have two alleles for short (tt).
Genotypic Ratio is 1:2:1
Phenotypic Ratio is 3:1
![Page 29: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Genotypes & Phenotypes in Flowers
Genotype of alleles:Y = yellow seed y = green seed
All genes occur in pairs, so 2 alleles affect a characteristic
Possible combinations are: Genotypes YY Yy yy
Phenotypes YELLOW YELLOWGREEN

Punnett Square Procedure
1. Determine the genotypes of the parents2. Write down the cross (mating)3. Draw the Punnett Square4. Split the letters of the genotype for each
parent & put them outside the square (gametes)
5. Determine the possible genotypes of the offspring by filling in the Punnett Square
6. Summarize results (genotypes, phenotypes & ratios)
![Page 35: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Let’s Try One!!
Tall stem length is dominant in garden pea plants. A heterozygous tall stem length garden pea plant’s eggs are pollinated by a heterozygous tall stem length pea plant.
You must go through all the steps in the correct order…
![Page 36: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Step 1: Determine Genotype Designate letters which will represent
the genes/traits. Capital letters represent dominant traits, and lowercase letters represent recessive traits.
T = tall t = short
![Page 37: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Step 2: Write Down the Cross Write down the genotypes (genes) of
each parent. These are often given to you or are
possible to determine.
Tt x Tt
![Page 38: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Step 3: Draw Punnett Square Draw a Punnett square - 4 small squares
in the shape of a window.Tt x Tt
![Page 39: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Step 4: Determine Gametes
Gametes produced by each parent are shown along the top and left side of the grid/chart.
List the genes that each parent can contribute. Females eggs across the top Males sperm along the left side
Tt = T or t
![Page 40: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Step 5: Fill in Punnett Square Fill in each box of the Punnett Square by
transferring the letter above and in front of each box into each appropriate box.
Offspring possibilities abound within the grid/chart
As a general rule, the capital letter goes first and a lowercase letter follows.
![Page 41: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Step 6: Give Results
List the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring for this cross.
The letters inside the boxes indicate probable genotypes (genetic makeup) of offspring resulting from the cross of these particular parents.
There are 4 boxes, and the genotypic & phenotypic results can be written either as fractions or percents.
![Page 43: Fundamentals of Genetics](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681435b550346895dafda17/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Step 6: Give Results
Genotypes- TT, Tt, or tt Phenotypes- Tall or short Genotypic Ratio- 1:2:1 Phenotypic Ratio- 3:1
