Study guide for this unit:
You will need to be able to demonstrate your knowledge of the following:
1. Differences and similarities between:
a. genotype and phenotype
b. homozygous (purebred) (true breeding) and heterozygous (hybrid)
c. dominant and recessive
2. What an allele is
3. How to set up a Punnett square from a ‘word problem”
4. How to interpret the results of a Punnett square
5. What Mendel did and what we now know because of his work
6. How to determine if a trait is completely dominant as compared to codominant,
incomplete dominant, polygenic, or sex linked
7. How to read a pedigrees and how to set one up
8. What sex linked traits are and how the expression differs from males to females
9. Why genes are “linked”
