In a pedigree, which shape represents a male?
circle
square
On a pedigree, this symbol represents a ---
not affected female.
not affected male.
affected male.
affected female.
On a pedigree, this symbol represents a ----
not affected male.
not affected female.

affected female.
How many individuals are there in the 3rd generation?
1
2
4
6
How are individuals III-2 and II-4 related?
Brother and sister
Dad and daughter
Uncle and niece
Grandfather and granddaughter
What is the mode of inheritance shown here?
Recessive because it "skips" a generation
Dominant because it shows up in every generation
On this pedigree, the allele for curly hair is dominant. The couple labeled 2 both have curly hair, but have a daughter who does not have curly hair. Therefore, we can tell from the chart that for the couple labeled 2 -
the male is heterozygous and the female is heterozygous.
the male is homozygous recessive and the female is homozygous dominant.
Why do all the daughters in Generation II carry the colorblind gene?
Because mom passed on the gene.
Because dad passed on the X chromosome.
The trait this pedigree traces is recessive because it skips a generation and individuals can be carriers. What is the most likely genotype for person III-3?
GG
Gg
gg
Which individual in the first generation is a carrier?
I-1
I-2
If this pedigree shows a recessive disorder, what MUST the genotype of individual II-3 be?
HH
Hh
hh
parent 2: ggBb
Find the gametes for parent 1.

Punnett Square
During meiosis and gamete formation, homologous (paired up) alleles split up
Phenotype
Law of Segregation
Genotype
Dihybrid Cross
During meiosis, the homologous pairs of chromosomes and the matching alleles are lined up independently.
Offspring are a mix of maternal genes and paternal genes.
This increases genetic variation.
