The ______appear in the four boxes.

If you know the genotypes of the parents, you can use a Punnett square to predict the possible genotypes of their offspring.

Making a Punnett Square

You try this one…

More Practice

For a gene determining hair color (B); where both parents are heterozygous for blue hair.

B = dominant allele; blue hair

b = recessive allele; yellow hair

Some forms of a gene may be ______and others ______.

In most sexually producing organisms, each adult has _____ copies of each gene: one from each parent. These genes are segregated from each other when gametes are formed.

The alleles for different genes usually segregate independently of one another.

Beyond Mendel: Dominant & Recessive Alleles

Some alleles are neither ______nor ______, and many traits are controlled by multiple alleles or multiple genes.

Incomplete Dominance

Cases in which one allele is not completely dominant over another are called ______.

Example:

Codominance is when ______alleles contribute to the phenotype.

Examples: Feathers, flowers, cattle.

Polygenic Inheritance

______refers to the kind of inheritance in which the trait is produced from the cumulative effects of many genes.
