Punnett Squares

The video tutorial explains Mendel's theory of genetic inheritance, focusing on monohybrid crosses and the use of Punnett squares to predict offspring genotypes. It provides examples using pea pod colors and cystic fibrosis to illustrate how dominant and recessive genes affect inheritance. The tutorial also covers the process of meiosis and how it leads to the separation of chromosomes, allowing for the prediction of genetic outcomes using Punnett squares.

What is a monohybrid cross and how is it represented?

Explain the significance of dominant and recessive alleles in genetics.

How do you set up a Punnett square for a cross between a heterozygous and a recessive parent?

What does a 1 to 1 phenotypic ratio indicate in a genetic cross?

Discuss the concept of probabilities in genetics and how they relate to Punnett squares.
