Key Concepts
•What is probability and how does it help explain the results of genetic crosses?
•What is meant by genotype and phenotype?
•What is codominance?

Principles of Probability Probability – a number that describes
how likely it is that an event will occur Mathematics of probability – In a coin
toss there are 2 possible outcomes. The coin can land heads up or tails up. Each result has an equal chance of occurring – 1 out of 2.
Probability can be expressed as a ratio, fraction orpercent – 1:2, ½, or 50%

Percentage• Percentage – a number compared to 100
• If 3 out of 5 coins land with heads up. The percentage is calculated as follows:1. 3 out of 5 = 3/5 2. 3/5 x 100% = 60%
• Practice: Suppose 3 out of 12 coins landed with tails up. How can you express this as a percentage?

Percentage 3 out of 12 = 3/12 or ¼ ¼ x 100% = 25% 1

Independence of Events The results of one coin toss do not affect
the results of subsequent coin tosses Each event occurs independently Ex. If you toss a coin 5 times and it
lands heads up each time. What is the probability that it will land heads up on the next toss?

Independence of Events The probability is still 1 out of 2 or 50%

Probability and Genetics• Mendel was the first to recognize that the
principles of probability could be used to predict the results of genetic crosses
• When he crossed the two plants that were hybrids for stem height, ¾ had tall stems and ¼ had short stems
• The probability of such a cross producing tall stems was 3 in 4. The probability of producing short stems was 1 in 4

Punnett Squares A chart that shows all the possible
combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross
![Page 10: Probability and Heredity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815cb3550346895dcab079/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
To make a Punnett square• 1. draw a box and divide it into 4 boxes
• 2. Write male parent’s alleles along the top and female parent’s alleles along the side

boxes to their right R r R R r

Using a Punnett Square The Punnett square show all the
possible allele combinations in the offspring
In a genetic cross the allele that a parent passes on to an offspring is based on probability

Predicting Probabilities Punnett squares can be used
to predict probabilities. If a purebred pink flamingo is
crossed with a purebred blue flamingo. There is a 100% probability that the offspring will be pink

Phenotypes and Genotypes Phenotype – an organism’s physical
appearance, or visible traits (what you see)
Genotype – genetic makeup, or allele combination
The genotypes Tt and TT have the same phenotype – tall
The genotype tt has the phenotype short
![Page 15: Probability and Heredity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815cb3550346895dcab079/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Phenotypes and Genotypes Homozygous- an organism that has
two identical alleles for a traitEx. TT or tt
Heterozygous – an organism that has two different alleles for a trait. Also called hybridEx.Tt

Codominance Not all traits
have alleles that are dominant or recessive.
Codominance – both alleles are expressed in the offspring

Examples of codominance ABO blood types Fur color in mammals Spotted flowers
