Now that you have seen how a punnett square works for sickle cell anemia, try out the ones below to help figure out how to solve them...
Now let's step it up a bit...use the following list of vocab to solve the punnett square problem to the right about rolled or flat tongues.
1. Allele - one form or type of a gene 2. Genotype - the genetic make-up of an organism; always made of two alleles (BB, Bb, or bb) 3. Phenotype - the physical appearance (or trait) of an organism Now use these definitions to solve for the hitchhiker or straight thumbs punnett to the right. 1. Dominant - the stronger allele (shown as a capital letter) 2. Recessive - the weaker allele (shown as a lower case letter) 3. Homozygous - a genotype that has two identical alleles (for example BB or bb) 4. Heterozygous - a genotype that has two different alleles (for example Bb) |
