dihybrid cross
The Punnett square model can be used to trace genetic inheritance. This model helps predict the possible outcomes of a genetic cross between two individuals by showing the combination of alleles from each parent.
what 2 types of info are needed to predict the ingeritance pattern of a trait
you find out which trait comes from which parents (cleft chin, baldness, etc) and then you look at the parents (and their parents) and you can guess the kids eye color, hair color, wether they will go bald and other cool little things
Genetic inheritance is often represented using a Punnett square, a grid system used to predict the possible genotypes of offspring based on the genotypes of the parents. It shows the potential combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross.
Predict: What do you think the offspring of a green alien and pink alien will look like?
seismograph are used to predict an earthquake
The first person known to have used probability and mathematics to predict offspring was Gregor Mendel. In the mid-1800s, Mendel studied the inheritance of seven characteristics in pea plants, in which each characteristic had only two forms, e.g., white or purple flowers, round or wrinkled seeds, and tall or short stems. Through these studies, he developed three laws of heredity; the law of segregation, the law of independent assortment, and the law of dominance. The chromosome theory of inheritance, developed in the early 1900s, explains the mechanism underlying the laws of Mendelian inheritance.
