Study Notes

Genotype and Phenotype

A genotype is heterozygous when it has two different alleles for a trait, e.g., Aa.
An organism's physical appearance is called its phenotype.
The genotype of a trait is the specific set of alleles an individual possesses.

Punnett Square

A Punnett square is a graphical representation of the possible genotypes of offspring from a cross between two parents.
A Punnett square shows the probability of different genotypes and phenotypes in offspring.

Probability

Probability can be expressed as a decimal, percentage, or ratio.
Probability cannot be expressed as a sentence or a word.

Genotype Combinations

In a cross between Aa × Aa individuals, only one box of the Punnett square will show an offspring that is AA.
