Notes

March12, 2012 Notes

when given enough info about the two parent organnism, we can use the window pane to predict the genotype and phenotype of their offspring genotype = the genes of an organism; for one specific trait we use two letters to represent the genotype. A capital letter represents the dominant form of a gene (allele), and a lowercase letter is the abbreviation for the recessive form of the gene (allele).

phenotype = the physical appearance of a trait in an organism

RR homozygous(pure)dominant red throat Rr heterozygous(hybrid) red throat rr homozygous (pure) recessive white throat

> **__Step #6__: //Summarize the results (genotypes & phenotypes of offspring)//. ** >> || **Genotypes: ****Tt x tt ** || **Phenotypes: ****tall x short ** || **Genotypes: ****<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">50% (2/4) Tt ****<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">50% (2/4) tt ** || **<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">Phenotypes: ****<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">50% tall ****<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">50% short ** || > **<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">__Step #7__: //Bask in the glow of your accomplishment !// **
 * **<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">Simply report what you came up with. __You should always have two letters in each of the four boxes__. **
 * **<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">In this example, where our parent pea plants were Tt (tall) x tt (short), we get 2 of our 4 boxes with "Tt", and 2 of our 4 with "tt". The offspring that are "Tt" would end up with tall stems (the dominant trait) and the "tt" pea plants would have short stems (the recessive trait). **
 * **<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">So our summary would be something like this: **
 * **<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">Parent Pea Plants ****<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">("P" Generation) ** |||| **<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">Offspring ****<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">("F1" Generation) ** ||
 * **<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">We are so good I can't stand it. **
 * **<span style="color: #006600; font-family: times new roman,times;">We are genetics //MONSTERS// ! **
