• Analyse: I can draw conclusions from a story or context about whether an allele is dominant or recessive, or what the genotype of the parents or children is.
• Apply: I can make simple genetic crosses using a Punnett square to determine which genotypes are possible in the offspring of two parents.
• Evaluate: I can use a Punnett square to calculate the probability of a specific genotype or phenotype appearing in the offspring by working out correct ratios or percentages.

A person is heterozygous for his eyecolour.

His genotype for this trait is.

4. Aa

Two parents with blond hair have a kid who has brown hair.
The genotype of the kid must be ..

2. AA
3. aa

Crossings/using punnet squares

Follow these steps:

1. What are the different alleles of the trait?
2. Which allele is dominant/recessive?
3. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents
4. Make a Punnet square
5. Fill in possible alleles of parents
6. Make combinations
7. Answer the question

Example

Blond is dominant.

The father is homozygous and has brown hair

The mother is homozygous and has blond hair. 

If these parents have a child, what are the chances that this kid has brown hair?

How can you know?

The story clearly states that the possibilities are blue and brown

Example 2

Two parents both have blue eyes, their first child has brown eyes. 

What are the chances for their kids to be heterozygous for this trait?

Answer:

1. Blue and brown are possible alleles of trait eyecolour
2. Blue must be dominant, making brown recessive

How can you know?

The story clearly states that the possibilities are blue and brown

How can you know?

Brown must be recessive. Because <b>if brown where dominant</b>, than <b>at least 1</b> of the parents should also have brown eyes. And this is not the case!<div><b>The only way in which the phenotype of the child can be different from both parents. is that that phenotype is recessive</b></div>

Example 2

What are the chances for their kids to be heterozygous for this trait?

Answer:

1. Blue and brown are possible alleles of trait eyecolour
