Document Content and Description Below
The Statistics of Inheritance How can statistics help predict the traits of offspring? Why? The randomization of alleles from the parents’ genetic material is essential to the survival and evolut... ion of a species. If the combinations of alleles that make up the genetic material in a zygote are truly random, the laws of statistics can be used to predict what traits the offspring will have. This activity starts with a review of Punnett squares, which is one way to make predictions about simple allele combinations. Statistics will then be used to make mathematical predictions about the genotypes of offspring. Model 1 – Punnett Squares Phenotype Genotype 1. Consider the beetle species in Model 1. a. How many phenotypes for exoskeleton color are exhibited in the population? b. How many genotypes for exoskeleton color are exhibited in the population? 2. According to Model 1, which allele, B or b, is the dominant exoskeleton color allele? Justify your answer with specific ev [Show More]
