Alleles
• Genes are the factors that control
Traits.
• Alleles are the different forms of
Genes. Example: pea plants
• Individual Alleles control the
inheritance of Traits.
• An offspring receives one allele
from each parent.

DOMINANT and recessive
Alleles
• A dominant allele is one whose trait
always shows up in an organism when
the allele is present.
- represented by a capital letter.
• A recessive allele is covered up when
the dominant allele is present.
- represented by a lower case letter.

Codominance
• In Mendel’s studies he found
some alleles to be neither
dominant or recessive.
• Codominance is when alleles are
neither dominant or recessive and
as a result both alleles are
expressed in the offspring.

What will Happen?
• You have two flowers, a white and
a red, that are crossed.
• The flowers are codominant.
• What color will their offspring be.

Phenotype
• Phenotype and genotype are
words that scientist use to
describe organisms.
• Phenotype is an organisms
physical appearance or its visible
traits.
• Example: a pea plant can have
one of two phenotypes for stem
height-short or tall.

Genotype
• Phenotype and genotype are
words that scientist use to
describe organisms.
• Genotype is an organisms genetic
makeup, or allele combination.
• Genotype TT=tall (Phenotype)

Describing genotypes
• Scientist use the words heterozygous
and homozygous to describe
genotypes.
• Homozygous is used to describe an
organism that has two identical alleles
for a trait.
• Example: PP and pp
• Heterozygous is used to describe an
organism with two different alleles.
-Also called hybrid.
• Example: Tt

recessive parent, which of the
following would be true?

Probability
• Probability is the likelihood that a
particular event will occur.
• Probability predicts what will
occur, and is not always
necessarily what will occur.
• Example: if you toss a coin there
is a fifty percent chance the coin
will land on heads, and fifty
percent the coin will land on tails.

Mendel and Probability
• Mendel was the first scientist to
recognize that the principles of
probability can be used to predict
the results of genetic crosses.
• Mendel could predict the
probability of producing a tall or
short pea plant.

Punnett Squares
• A punnett square is a chart that
shows all possible combinations of
alleles that can result from a
genetic cross.

Punnett Problems
• In purple people eaters, one-horn
is dominant and no horns is
recessive.
• Draw a Punnet Square showing
the cross of a purple people eater
that is hybrid for horns, with a
purple people eater that does not
have horns.

27
Answer
• Hybrids have two different alleles
for one trait.
• Hh is the hybrid in the example.
• No horns would have to be hh
because it is a recessive allele.

Punnett Problems
• In Bears the recessive allele for
brown fur is R, black fur is
recessive.
• The female bear is Rr and the
male bear is rr.
• What are the four possible
phenotypes for the cubs.
• What is the probability that the cub
will have black fur?

29
Answer
• The four possible phenotypes
would be 2(black) and 2(brown).
• There would be a fifty percent
chance the cub would be brown
and fifty percent chance the cub
would be black.
