What is a Trait?A trait is a specific characteristic
that varies from one individual to another.Examples: Brown hair, blue eyes, tall,
curly

What is an Allele?Alleles are the
different possibilities for a given trait.Every trait has at least
two alleles (one from the mother and one from the father)
Example: Eye color – Brown, blue, green, hazel
Examples of Alleles:A = Brown Eyesa = Blue EyesB = Green Eyesb = Hazel Eyes

What are Genes?Genes are the sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a trait.

Gregor MendelFather of Genetics1st important studies of
heredityIdentified specific traits in the
garden pea and studied them from one generation to another

Dominant vs. RecessiveDominant - Masks the other trait; the trait
that shows if presentRepresented by a capital letter
Recessive – An organism with a recessive allele for a particular trait will only exhibit that trait when the dominant allele is not present; Will only show if both alleles are presentRepresented by a lower case letter

Dominant & Recessive Practice
TT - Represent offspring with straight hair
Tt - Represent offspring with straight hair
tt - Represents offspring with curly hair
T – straight hairt - curly hair

Genotype vs. PhenotypeGenotype – The genetic makeup of an
organism; The gene (or allele) combination an organism has. Example: Tt, ss, GG, Ww
Phenotype – The physical characteristics of an organism; The way an organism looksExample: Curly hair,
straight hair, blue eyes, tall, green

Homozygous vs. HeterozygousHomozygous – Term used
to refer to an organism that has two identical alleles for a particular trait (TT or tt)
Heterozygous - Term used to refer to an organism that has two different alleles for the same trait (Tt)

Punnett SquaresPunnett Square – Diagram
showing the gene combinations that might result from a genetic cross
Used to calculate the probability of inheriting a particular traitProbability – The chance
that a given event will occur

How to Complete a Punnett Square

You Try It Now!Give the genotype and phenotype for the
following cross: TT x tt (T = Tall and t = Short)

on the top and the other along the side)
