CH 11 INTRODUCTION TO GENETICS11.2 Applying Mendel’s Principles
Probability Math prediction as to chances of something
happening Chance of passing on a particular gene Coin has two sides, a head and a tail, if you flip it, the
chance of getting a head is ½.
If you flip a coin three times in a row, what is the probability that it will land heads up every time
Each flip is and independent event with a chance of ½
1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/8.
F1 plant had one tall allele and one short allele (Tt)
1/2 of the gametes would carry the short allele (t).
The only way to produce a short (tt) plant is for two gametes carrying the t allele.
Chance of getting t allele is ½
Probability of being short (tt) is
½ x ½ = ¼.
For each of Mendel’s seven crosses, about ¾ of the plants showed the trait controlled by the dominant allele
¼ showed the recessive trait.
Probabilities predict the average outcome The larger the sample the closer to the predicted.
Homozygous Two of the same alleles TT or tt
Heterozygous One of each version of the alleles, Hybrid Tt.
Genotype What the actual genes are, you can’t physically see TT, Tt, or tt
Phenotype What the trait looks like, what you can physically see Tall or short.
Punnett Squares
Genetic cross to predict the genotype and phenotype using mathematical probability
Monohybrid One trait cross
Dihybrid Two trait cross.
How To Make a Punnett Square
1. Start with the Parents2. Figure out the Gametes3. Line them up4. Fill in the Punnett Square5. Figure out the Results.
Start with the Parents
Write the genotypes of the two parents
Bb and Bb.
Figure out the Gametes
Determine what alleles would be found in all of the possible gametes that each parent could produce.
Line them up
Draw a table with enough spaces for each pair of gametes from each parent
Enter the genotypes of the gametes produced by both parents on the top and left sides of the table.
Fill in the Punnett Square
Fill in the table by combining the gametes’ genotypes.
Figure out the Results
Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of each offspring
Calculate the percentage for each.

Independent Assortment
Genes for different traits can segregate independently during gamete formation
A past coin flip won’t influence a future coin flip.
Mendel crossed true-breeding round yellow peas with wrinkled green peas.
Round yellow peas had the genotype RRYY, which is homozygous dominant.
Wrinkled green peas had the genotype rryy, which is homozygous recessive.
All of the F1 offspring produced round yellow peas
F1 offspring was RrYy, heterozygous for both seed shape and seed color.
Mendel then crossed the F1 plants to produce F2 offspring.
Alleles for seed shape segregated independently of those for seed color
Mendel’s experimental results were very close to the 9:3:3:1 ratio that the Punnett square shown predicts.
