Chromosome•46 inside every cell•Chromosomes are in the cell in pairs. •One came from mom and one came from
dad.
Mom’s Chromosome
Dad’s Chromosome

DNA - deoxyribonucleic (say: dee-ox-see-ri-bo-nyoo-clay-ik) acid
•Long strands of genetic code•Makes up chromosomes in plants and
animalsDNA

Genes•Tiny pieces of DNA that are instructions
for specific traits
![Page 6: What exactly are Chromosomes, DNA and Genes?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681656e550346895dd80254/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Traits•Things that you inherit from your parents•Examples: Hair color, eye color and
having freckles or not•Through sexual reproduction you
inherited a set of traits
![Page 7: What exactly are Chromosomes, DNA and Genes?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681656e550346895dd80254/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Traits•Pairs of letters are used to define genes in
your body•CAPTIAL LETTERS are used to represent
DOMINANT genes•lower case letters are used to represent
recessive genes•Dominant trait: If you receive even one of
these in the pair, you will get a specific trait.•Recessive trait: You have to have two of
these in the pair to get a specific trait

Genotypes•The letter associated with the gene
▫Example: W (dominant widow’s peak) w (recessive no widow’s peak)
![Page 10: What exactly are Chromosomes, DNA and Genes?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681656e550346895dd80254/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Phenotypes•This is the "outward, physical manifestation“•The actual physical trait
▫Example: Widows Peak

Allele •Allele: The single letter such as the a or
the A.
![Page 12: What exactly are Chromosomes, DNA and Genes?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681656e550346895dd80254/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Heterozygous – having two different alleles
•Aa•Bb
![Page 13: What exactly are Chromosomes, DNA and Genes?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681656e550346895dd80254/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Homozygous – having the same alleles
•AA•BB

Quiz F – freckles f – no freckles
My genes: FF
Do I have freckles or not?
What is the phenotype?
What is the genotype?
Is my genotype heterozygous or homozygous?
Which parent carried the dominant gene?

What is a PUNNETT SQUARE?•A tool to predict the probability of
certain traits in offspring that shows the different ways alleles can combine
•A way to show phenotype & genotype•A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result when genes are crossed

Using a PUNNETT SQUARETo set up a Punnett square, draw a large
square, and then divide it into 4 equal sections (also squares). It should look something like this:
![Page 21: What exactly are Chromosomes, DNA and Genes?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681656e550346895dd80254/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Using a PUNNETT SQUARE•Now you need two parents to mate, ones
with a known genotype
• For example, Brown hair (genotype BB) and blonde hair (genotype Bb). BB x Bb
• In this scenario, the Mom has brown hair. The dad blonde hair.
![Page 22: What exactly are Chromosomes, DNA and Genes?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681656e550346895dd80254/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Using a PUNNETT SQUARE•The two-letter combinations are the
possible genotypes of offspring
•They are: BB, Bb, BB, and Bb genotypes
•From this it is possible to determine the probability (chance) that a baby will have a brown phenotype (2/4 or 50%) or a blonde phenotype (2/4 or 50%)

Using a PUNNETT SQUAREPlace one of the parents on top, and one on
the left. You should get a something similar to this:

Does it work with animals and plants?•Yes, all of this works the same way in
determining the outcome of combining animals and plants.
•How can we relate this to selective breeding?
•How can we relate this to genetic engineering?
