ds87 Intro Monohybrid Crosses

This document provides instruction for a biology class lesson on monohybrid crosses using Punnett squares. Students are instructed to watch an introductory video on monohybrid crosses and take Cornell notes. The lesson then provides examples of solving genetics problems using Punnett squares, including defining key terms, identifying parent genotypes, setting up and solving the Punnett square, and answering analysis questions. Students are assigned homework problems involving Punnett squares.

Biology Objective / Essential Question:

Main Ideas / Questions:

Notes:

1.

______________________

What is the term used to describe an organisms physical appearance?

What is the term used to describe the genes that an organism has for a
trait?

What is the term used to describe when an organism has two of the same
allele for a trait?

What is the term used to describe when an organism has two different
alleles for a trait?

___________________________________________________________________
Reproduction is like playing the lottery!

2.

________________ makes predicting the outcome of fertilization


imperfect.

________________________ (which sperm fertilizes which egg) makes


predicting the outcome of fertilization imperfect.

Predicting the outcome of the offspring can be done when the


_____________ of both parents are known.
Punnett Squares

Punnett Squares are used to show what the offspring from two parents
_________ look like and what genes they _________ have for a trait.
Punnett Squares show:

all the possible combinations of gametes during fertilization; and

the probability that each will occur.

You do not always get the exact ratio that the punnett square predicts.

Its like flipping a coin!

Monohybrid Cross: An example

The tall allele is dominant to the short allele in pea plants. Cross two
heterozygous, tall pea plants.

______________________

1) Hammer out the problem (test strategies)


2) Make a key
3) Find your Parents & write down their genotype
Are the parents homozygous or heterozygous?
4) Fill in the Punnet Square
5) Answer the question
Step 1

The tall allele is dominant to the short allele in pea plants.


Cross two heterozygous, tall pea plants.
_________________________________________________________
Stop & Jot

Hammer out the following genetics word problem:

Purple dragons are recessive to black ones. Cross a heterozygous


black dragon with a purple dragon.

_________________________________________________________
Step 2
Tall is dominant to short in pea plants.
Because tall is the dominant allele, use both forms
of the letter T!
T= Tall (_________________)
t= short (_________________)
Remember - use the same letter, just different forms!
_________________________________________________________
Step 3

Tall (T) is dominant to short (t) in pea plants. Cross two


heterozygous tall, pea plants.

Purple dragons are recessive to black ones. Cross a


heterozygous black dragon with a purple dragon.

Using your rules for solving monohybrid crosses, answer the


following genetics word problem:

Aliens either have green eyes or red eyes. Red eyes are
dominant to green. If you cross an alien that is
homozygous for red eyes with another that has green
eyes, what is the probability of getting offspring who are
homozygous?
