4. An individual containing two different forms of the gene.
Word
Meaning
Dominant
An allele which controls what an organism looks like. (The more powerful message of the two possible)
Recessive
Only shows up when there are two of these. (The weaker of the two possible – so it shows up when the other one is missing)
Homozygous
Containing two identical forms of the same gene. (Both dominant or both recessive)
Heterozygous
An individual containing two different forms of the gene.
Allele
Different forms of a gene.
Genotype
The genetic make-up of an individual. The “type-o’-gene”. i.e. is it heterozygous, homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive?
Phenotype
The physical characteristics of an individual. “Phenotype” is “the TYPE of PHENOmenon”. i.e. – what shows up.
This is where I add a wee note to help me with the presentation

5. For this breed of dog, long hair (H) is dominant of short hair (h)
After mating, Jeanny produces six pups
Jimmy (hh – short hair)
Jeanny (HH – long hair)
Draw up a Punnett square to predict the hair length of the pups.

6. For this breed of dog, long hair (H) is dominant of short hair (h)
After mating, Jeanny produces six pups
Jimmy (hh – short hair)
Jeanny (HH – long hair)
Draw up a Punnett square to predict the hair length of the pups.
Write down what the phenotype and the genotype are for the pups

Jimmy (hh – short hair)
Jeanny (Hh – long hair)
Draw up a Punnett square to predict the hair length of the pups.
Write down what the phenotype and the genotype are for the pups

8. Cystic Fibrosis
This is a genetic disease that is passed on when a baby gets TWO copies of the recessive gene. It is normally fatal, with few living past their 30s.
If we use:
F = healthy
f = cystic fibrosis then:
FF = homozygous dominant. Does not have CF & cannot pass it on
Ff = heterozygous. Does not have CF but CAN pass it on
fF = heterozygous. Does not have CF but CAN pass it on
ff = homozygous recessive. DOES have CF and CAN pass it on too.
heterozygous people are called “carriers”

9. A Mum is healthy and IS a carrier. Blood tests have figured this out
A Mum is healthy and IS a carrier. Blood tests have figured this out. She marries a man who is the same, i.e. is healthy but is also a carrier and they decide to have kids.
What are the chances a baby will have CF?
What are the chances a baby will be healthy but a carrier?
What are the chances a baby will be healthy but not be a carrier?
Use a Punnett square to figure out the answers.
