3. Observed trait (phenotype) that is nor suppressed
Question
Mom has black hair & Dad has blonde hair therefore, child has_____ hair.
Dog with a long tail & Dog with a short tail therefore, puppy has______ tail.
Dominant Traits:
Observed trait when two opposite alleles are inherited (different genotypes)
Observed trait (phenotype) that is nor suppressed
ex) long leg length in fruit flies
Recessive Traits:
Observed trait only when two same-acting non-dominant alleles are inherited (same genotype)
Can be suppressed by a dominant trait

6. Dominant vs. Recessive Traits
Inheritance of Traits
Dominant vs. Recessive Traits
Can use Punnett Square to determine the probability of each genotype’s occurrence
Dominant genotypes are in CAPITAL
Recessive genotypes are in lower case
Ex) fruit fly leg length
Dominant: long (F)
Recessive: short (f)
If the mother is purebred with short legs and the father with purebred long legs, what could the legs of the children look like?

17. Genetic Research
Many people believe that the Human Genome Project is the most important scientific effort humans have ever attempted
Human Genome Project
A map of where all the genes found in a complete set of 46 human chromosomes are entire genetic code of humans
