Big Punnett-ing Catalyst: Six fingers (S) is dominant over five fingers (s). What is the phenotype of a person who is heterozygous? How did Mr. LY decide to use the letters “S” and “s” to represent dominant and recessive, above? Write in complete sentences! Don’t talk during the Catalyst!

By the end of today, SWBAT… Objectives By the end of today, SWBAT… Create and analyze Punnett Squares

PHenotype = PHysical expression of the trait Remember… GENotype = Combination of alleles inherited from the parents (the GENes) PHenotype = PHysical expression of the trait

Before we get started, remember… CAPTIALIZED letters are DOMINANT lowercase letters are recessive Examples: B = brown hair (DOMINANT) b = blonde hair (recessive) Y = yellow (DOMINANT) y = green (recessive) P = purple (DOMINANT) p = white (recessive)

Heterozygous recessive Before we get started… D = dimples d = no dimples Homozygous dominant Genotype: DD Phenotype: have dimples Homozygous recessive Genotype: dd Phenotype: no dimples Heterozygous recessive Genotype: Dd Phenotype: have dimples Based off of this knowledge, that D= dimples and d= no dimples. What would the genotype be for an individual who is homozygous dominant? What is their phenotype? What would the genotype be for an individual who is homozygous recessive? What is their phenotype? What would the genotype be for an individual who is heterozygous? What is their phenotype?

Heterozygous recessive Before we get started… B = brown eyes b = blue eyes Homozygous dominant Genotype: BB Phenotype: brown eyes Homozygous recessive Genotype: bb Phenotype: blue eyes Heterozygous recessive Genotype: Bb Phenotype: brown eyes Based off of this knowledge, that D= dimples and d= no dimples. What would the genotype be for an individual who is homozygous dominant? What is their phenotype? What would the genotype be for an individual who is homozygous recessive? What is their phenotype? What would the genotype be for an individual who is heterozygous? What is their phenotype?

Today, you are going to have 20 kids. What? Yes. In 15 minutes, you will have 20 kids. You will need to find someone in the class to mate with. We will demonstrate how this works.

Making Babies Lab! Each partner has one lunch bag. Each lunch bag represents the genes that person gives to their child. Inside the bag are the two alleles for ONE gene. To make a baby… WITHOUT looking into the bag, reach in and grab a letter (your partner will do the same). Record the genotype in the table below. YOU HAVE JUST MADE A BABY.

Key Point #1 Punnett Squares are diagrams that are used to predict the genotypes of offspring.

Probability…not EXACT It is important to note that Punnett Squares only give probabilities for genotypes They don’t give you the EXACT outcomes

Key Point #2 We refer to the parent generation as P1 and the offspring of that generation as F1. P1 F1

Big Pun-nett Let’s make our own. First things first, draw yourself box and split it into 4 squares.

Punnett like its Hot Read the problem and find the parents’ genotypes. Remember to use the first letter of the dominant trait. A homozygous dominant brown eyed male mates with a heterozygous female. BB Bb

Punnett Squares are COOL Parents go on the top and on the left (keep each parents’ alleles together) It doesn’t matter which parents goes on the top or the left B B B b

Punnett Square Dance Now, bring them together. The four boxes represent the possible kids. B B BB BB B b Bb Bb

Just Punnett! Now, we analyze. Use quarters to figure out percentages. How many homozygous dominant do we have? 50% How many heterozygous do we have? 50% How many homozygous recessive do we have? 0% B B BB BB B b Bb Bb

Punnett baby one more time Lastly, figure out percentages by phenotypes. What percentage will have brown eyes? 100% What percentage will have blue eyes? 0% B B BB BB B b Bb Bb

Let’s do one more on the board A heterozygous dimpled male mates with a heterozygous dimpled female. Do all the steps with them.

Whiteboard Guided Practice: Seed Shape Solve the following Punnett Square. A homozygous dominant round seeded plant is crossed with a heterozygous wrinkled plant. Find the genotype and phenotype probabilities. R R RR RR R Rr Rr r R = round r = wrinkled

Guided Practice: Earlobes F = free f = attached Solve the following Punnett Square A male with attached earlobes mates with a heterozygous female. Find the genotype and phenotype percentages. F f Ff ff f Ff ff f

Oh, how we love Spongebob! Mr. LY will now pass out the “Punnett Squares – Spongebob Style” worksheet We’ll do some of them together… then you get to try the rest on your own!

Exit Question D = dimples, d = no dimples Create a Punnett Square for two parents who are heterozygous. List the percent of children that will have each genotype AND each phenotype.
