Genetic Variation | arrow_right_alt | A trait that you got from your parents through your genes (heredity) |
Trait | arrow_right_alt | The passing on of genes from parent to offspring |
Phenotype | arrow_right_alt | Expressed by an allele. The different types of characteristics (blue eyes, brown eyes...red hair, blonde hair, etc) |

Incomplete Dominance | arrow_right_alt | A homozygous dominant allele pair |
Codominance | arrow_right_alt | A homozygous recessive allele pair |
rr | arrow_right_alt | When both alleles are present in the genotype, the dominant one takes over completely (red/white=red). |
RR | arrow_right_alt | When both alleles are present in the genotype, both show up separately in the phenotype (red/white=red and white stripes). |
Complete Dominance | arrow_right_alt | A heterozygous allele pair |
Rr | arrow_right_alt | When both alleles are present in the genotype, they mix/blend together in the phenotype.(red/white=pink) |
What do we use a Punnett Square for?
Which letter would symbolize a recessive allele?
In a Punnett Square, each inner square accounts for _________% probability.
Complete the Punnett Square in the show your work box! Both parents have the "Bb" allele pair and have brown eyes. The "B" allele codes for brown eyes and the "b" allele codes for blue eyes.
What is the percent chance that an offspring from these two parents will have blue eyes?
What is the percent chance that an offspring from these two parents will have the "Bb" allele pair?
What is the percent chance that an offspring from these two parents will have brown eyes?
If this situation involves incomplete dominance, what would the eyes of an offspring with the heterozygous allele pair look like?
Complete the Punnett Square. One parent has the "BB" allele pair and has brown eyes. The other parent has the "bb" allele pair and has blue eyes. The "B" allele codes for brown eyes and the "b" allele codes for blue eyes.
What is the percent chance that an offspring from these two parents will have blue eyes?
What is the percent chance that an offspring from these two parents will have the "Bb" allele pair?
If this situation involves codominance, what would the eyes look like if the offspring has the heterozygous allele pair?
