Evaluate the possible outcomes of genetic (monohybrid and dihybrid) crosses of animals.
Evaluation should include the use of a Punnett Square to determine
- probability of possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring from a monohybrid and a dihybrid cross
- pedigree analysis
- dominant vs. recessive alleles
- hereditary diseases and genetic disorders.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What is a monohybrid cross?
- What is a dihybrid cross?
- What is a genotype?
- What is a phenotype?
- How does one set up a Punnett square for a dihybrid cross?
- What is a pedigree and how is it used?
