1. #49 Reebop Genetics Part 1

2. Allele Different forms of the same gene Represented by a letter
Example: B or b
Each parent gives offspring one allele for a trait, making a gene pair (genotype).

3. Dominant Allele Represented by a capitol letter Example: B
“stronger trait”
Only one dominant allele is needed in the gene pair for the dominant trait to show.

4. Recessive Allele Represented by a lower case letter Example: b
“weaker trait”
Recessive trait can only be shown if two recessive alleles are inherited.

5. Genotype Pair of genes inherited from parents
Each letter represents a gene (allele)
Example: BB, Bb, or bb

6. Homozygous Genotype with two of the same alleles
The genotype could have 2 dominant alleles or 2 recessive alleles.
Example: BB or bb

7. Heterozygous Genotype with two different alleles.
The genotype will have one dominant and one recessive allele.
Example: Bb

8. Phenotype Physical traits that result from a genotype.
Example: 3 body segments, yellow legs, hover wings

9. Reebop Genetics
You will be determining the genotypes and phenotypes of a Reebop by flipping a coin.
Heads= Dominant Allele
Tails= Recessive Allele

10. BODY SEGMENTS: TAIL: BB or Bb = 3 body segments bb = 2 body segments
Straight tail = tt
Curly tail = TT or Tt

11. 2 eyes = EE or Ee No eyes = ee
ANTENNA:
2 Round antenna = AA or Aa
2 Flowered antenna = aa

12. NO WINGS = hh LEGS HOVER WINGS 2 Hover wings = HH or Hh
Blue legs = L L or Ll
Yellow legs = l l
