What did you do over break? What questions do you have about the sex linked, Multiple alelle problems?
2
Traits and Alleles What if Elmo and Zoe fell in love, got married and had a baby? What might their baby look like? With your team, come up with a list of as many traits and allele names as possible.
3
What is Elmo’s Genotype? The Trait: Nose Color Possible Phenotypes: –Pink = Dominant –Orange = Recessive Genotype Key: –P – dominant –p – recessive Orange Nose!
4
What is Zoe’s Genotype? The Trait: Nose Color Possible Phenotypes: –Pink = Dominant –Orange = Recessive Genotype Key: –P – dominant –p – recessive Pink nose!
5
Predicting an Outcome What is the probability that Zoe will pass on the allele for a Pink nose? Zoe’s genotype is: Zoe’s heterozygous! Pp 1 P allele out of 2 possible alleles, so ½ or 50% chance that Zoe will pass on the allele for a pink nose.
6
Predicting an Outcome What is the probability that Elmo will pass on an allele for an orange nose? Elmo’s genotype is: Elmo is homozygous! pp 2 p alleles out of 2 possible alleles, so 2/2 or 100% chance that Elmo will pass on the allele for an orange nose.
7
Predicting an Outcome Can you predict ALL of the possible nose phenotypes Elmo and Zoe’s baby could have? X ppPp
8
Predicting an Outcome Can you predict ALL of the possible nose genotypes Elmo and Zoe’s baby could have? X ppPp
