Study Notes
Types of Genetic Inheritance
- Monohybrid crosses demonstrate inheritance patterns of a single trait involving two alleles.
Allele Relationships
- Alleles N (dominant) and n (recessive): N masks the presence of n in the phenotype.
Offspring Phenotypes from Specific Genotypes
- Parental genotypes NN and nn result in all offspring displaying the dominant phenotype (Nn).
Genetic Inheritance Diagrams
- A Punnett square is typically used to show possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring.
Purpose of Genetic Diagrams
- Genetic inheritance diagrams help predict the probability of offspring inheriting specific traits based on parent genotypes.
F1 Generation Genotypes
- When both parents have genotype Nn, the possible genotypes of the F1 generation are: NN, Nn, nN, and nn.
F2 Generation Phenotypic Ratios
- With F1 generation Nn, the expected phenotypic ratio in F2 generation is 3:1 (dominant to recessive).
Genotypes in Monohybrid Crosses
- For parents NN and nn, the F1 generation will uniformly be Nn.
Phenotypic Ratios in F2 Generation with NN
- If F1 is NN, all F2 offspring must express the dominant phenotype.
F2 Generation from Two Heterozygous Parents
- Cross between N and n will yield genotypes: 1 NN, 2 Nn, 1 nn, resulting in a phenotypic ratio of 3:1.
Probability of Dominant Phenotype
- Alleles from heterozygous parents (Bb x Bb) yield a 75% probability of dominant phenotype in offspring.
Crosses with Specific Traits
- Crossing red flowered (RR) with white flowered (rr) results in all F1 offspring having red flowers.
Genotypic Ratio for Round and Wrinkled Seeds
- Cross between round seeds (RR) and wrinkled seeds (rr) produces F2 genotypes: 1 RR, 2 Rr, 1 rr.
Test Cross Purpose
- A test cross determines an organism's genotype by crossing it with a homozygous recessive individual to reveal its genetic contribution.
