present.

A cell which contains two copies
of each chromosome is…
diploid
Normal body cells are diploid
![Page 11: Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/568138a0550346895da05e22/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A cell which contains one copy
of each chromosome is…
haploid
Gametes (sex cells) are haploid
Sperm
Ovum
Pollen
Plant egg cell

Sperm cells are produced by …
meiosis
The chromosomes in the nucleus
are copied
Four haploid daughter cells are produced Each haploid
daughter cell contains only one of the two alleles from the diploid
parent cell
Diploid parent cell

Fertilisation:
An ova and a sperm fuse to form a diploid zygote
Ova
Sperm
Zygote
The zygote contains one allele from each
parentThis process is random

The same rules apply to inheritance in plants as apply to inheritance in animals.
The male gamete or sex
cell is …
… pollen
The female gamete is…
… the egg cell
![Page 20: Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/568138a0550346895da05e22/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Plant genes can have dominant and recessive alleles
… a red flower
r The recessive allele r produces
…
… a white flower
R
The dominant allele R produces
…
Example:
![Page 21: Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/568138a0550346895da05e22/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
A genetic cross in plants: Rr x Rr
There is only one way to make a homozygous plant with two dominant genes…
R R RR
… and only one way to make a homozygous plant with two recessive genes
rrr r
![Page 22: Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/568138a0550346895da05e22/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In the genetic cross Rr x Rr there are two ways of making a heterozygous plant…
R r
Rr
Rr
RrOR
… so, heterozygous offspring are twice as likely as either homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive offspring
![Page 23: Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/568138a0550346895da05e22/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
We can show the likeliness or probability of different genotypes in different ways:
1. As a percentage -
Probability of RR is…
¼½
25%
Probability of Rr is…
50%
Probability of rr is… 25%
2. As a fraction - Probability of RR is…Probability of Rr is…Probability of rr is… ¼
3. As a ratio - RR : Rr : rr =
1 : 2 : 1
![Page 24: Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/568138a0550346895da05e22/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
There are three ways to make a plant with red flowers…
R R RR
R r
r R
Rr
Rr
… one produces a homozygous plant…
… and two produce heterozygous plants…
![Page 25: Genetics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/568138a0550346895da05e22/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
…but, there is only one way to produce a plant with white flowers…
rrr r
So, in the genetic cross, Rr x Rr…
…red flowers are three times more likely than white flowers!!!

We can show the likeliness or probability of different phenotypes in different ways:
1. As a percentage -
Probability of red is…
¾¼
75%
Probability of white is…
25%
2. As a fraction - Probability of red is…Probability of white is…
3. As a ratio - red : white = 3 : 1

The Punnett Square
We can use the Punnett Square to work out the probability of the different genotypes and phenotypes in a
genetic crossStep 1: Write down the genotypes of the parents.
= Rr x Rrx
Step 2: Write down the genotypes of the gametes that each parent produces.
pollen Egg cells
= R + r = R + r

Step 3: Draw your Punnett Square
Step 4: Write the genotype of the different gametes into your Punnett SquareStep 5: Write in the different ways in which the gametes can be combined…

Probability of Genotypes
There are four possible ways to combine egg cells and pollen
Count up how many times each genotype appears in the Punnet Square – this gives you its probability:

The ratio of RR : Rr : rr is…

Probability of Phenotypes
Look at the genotypes of the offspring in your Punett Square… …decide which phenotype each one should produce.Count up how many times each phenotype appears in the Punnet Square – this gives you its probability:Probability of red is…
¾ = 75 %
Probability of white is…
¼ = 25 %
The ratio of red : white is…
3 : 1
