Punnett Square- a
chart that shows all
the possible
combinations of
alleles that can
result from a
genetic cross
What is the
probability of an
offspring with brown
fur (bb)?
What is the
probability of an
offspring with brown
fur (bb)?
homozygous- two
identical alleles
(YY, yy)
heterozygous- two
different alleles
(Yy)
BE AWARE:
There are
some
exceptions!
II. Meiosis
meiosis- process by which the number of
chromosomes is reduced by half to form sex cells
(sperm & eggs)
(MY-OH-SIS)
rhymes with mitosis!
