APW
• If you flip a coin, what are the chances that it will
land on heads? Tails?
• Suppose you flip the coin once, get heads, and then
flip it again. What are the chances that you will get
heads again? Explain.

Traits and Inheritance
Objectives
1. Explain how genes and alleles are related to
genotype and phenotype
2. Use the information in a Punnett square
3. Explain how probability can be used to predict
possible genotypes in offspring.
4. Describe three exceptions to Mendel’s observations
Genes
• Genes are one set of
instructions for an inherited
trait.
• Each parent gives one set of
genes to offspring.
• Therefore, offspring has two
sets of a gene for every
characteristic.
• Genes are located on
chromosomes.
Bigger
Smaller
Alleles
• Alleles are the
different forms of a
gene.
• Characteristics are to
traits as genes are to
alleles.
Phenotype vs. Genotype
• A phenotype is any observed
quality of an organism, such
as its morphology,
development, or behavior.
• A genotype is the inherited Genotype
instructions an organism
carries, which may or may not
be expressed.
Phenotype
Phenotypes of Pea Plants
• Name 2 possible phenotypes for flower color.

Genotype: Homozygous vs.
Heterozygous
• A Homozygous plant
is one with two
dominant or two
recessive alleles.
HH or hh
• A Heterozygous plant
is a plant with two
different alleles
Hh
Punnett Squares
• Punnett Squares are used to
organize all of the possible
combinations of offspring
from particular parents.
• What is the ratio of dominant
phenotypes to recessive
phenotypes?
_______________

Mendel’s first experiments
Punnett Squares
• Punnett Squares are used to
organize all of the possible
combinations of offspring
from particular parents.
• What is the ratio of dominant
phenotypes to recessive
phenotypes?
_______________
Using a Punnett square to model
Mendel’s second experiments
What are the chances?
• When the alleles a parent has are different,
the chances of receiving them are fifty-fifty,
like a coin toss.
• Probability is the mathematical chance that
something will happen. In this case, it is the
chance that a trait will be inherited.
• Probability is usually written as a fraction or a
percentage.
Probability Practice
• If you roll a pair of dice, what is the probability that
you will roll 2 threes?
______ x ______ = ______
• If you flip a coin twice, what is the probability that
you will get 2 heads?
______ x ______ = ______
• If you roll a single die, what is the probability you will
roll an even number?
______ + ______ + ______ = ______
Probability Practice
• If both parents have Pp genes, what is the probability
that the offspring will have PP genes?
______ x ______ = ______
• If both parents have Pp genes, what is the probability
that the offspring will have Pp genes?
______ x ______ + ______ x ______ = ______
• If both parents have Pp genes, what is the probability
that the offspring will have pp genes?
______ x ______ = ______

Incomplete Dominance
Codominance
One gene, many traits
Many genes, one trait
Environmental Effects
Incomplete Dominance
• When an individual is
heterozygous for a trait,
instead of one trait being
completely dominant over
another, the traits mix.
• Thus, you can tell the
genotype by looking at the
phenotype for incomplete
dominance.

Codominance
• In codominance, neither
phenotype is recessive. Both
traits are fully expressed.
• However, both codominant
traits are dominant over the
recessive trait.
• Blood type is an example

One Gene, Many Traits
• What do you notice
about the tiger?
• Sometimes one gene
influences more than
one trait.
• In tigers, the gene that
influences eye color
also influences hair
color.
Many genes, One trait
• Skin color and eye color are
influenced by many genes.
• That is why there are intermediary
colors.
Environment
• Environments can also affect
phenotype (hair cutting)
