Answer for Previous Q • Law of Segregation: the two alleles for a trait segregate (separate) when gametes are formed during meiosis • Bb parent could contribute B or b to gamete • Law of Independent Assortment: alleles of different genes separate independently of one another during gamete formation • Note: genes must be located on different chromosomes or far apart from each other on the same chromosome (due to crossing over) • Example: plant height isn’t affected by plant’s flower color Friday 1/27 • What are the possible gamete combinations for an individual with the following genotype: DdRr ________ ________ ________ ________ Remember to use the F-O-I-L method !! • What are the possible gamete combinations for an individual with the following genotype: TtPP BLOCK 1/31-2/1 • In Snapdragons, flower color is controlled by incomplete dominance.

BLOCK 2/7-2/8 • What is the estimated age of Earth? • How long ago did Dinosaurs become extinct? • Of all the life forms to ever exist on Earth, what percentage have gone extinct? • How many years have humans (Homo sapiens) been on Earth?
