Mendelian Genetics (Chapter 14)

Today we reviewed incomplete dominance as well as Mendelian genetics principles (law of independent assortment, law of segregation, dominance, recessiveness). We also learned how the rule of multiplication and addition can help us solve complex genetics problems, rather than write enormous punnett squares.

Would you rather do this to find the probability of getting YYRR:Or this... YY = 1/4 RR = 1/4
1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16, is the probability of getting YYRR

Homework: Genetics Practice Problems, answer the questions at the top of the page (explain...what is...). Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper and use complete sentences. Complete problem numbers 1, 2, 3, 7 and 8.
